Re: needing some engine mod. help.
You can tweek the gov a little, but be carefull and do not go too far or you can/will over rev the eng.
Putting bigger tires on will actuatly make the cart go faster due to the taller tires. I just put a set of 23 on an 08 RXV Freedom 48V elec and with a GPS unit it went 25.3 mph. Factory was set at 19.8 and having 18x8.50-8 tires. I hear you can get bigger cams for them, but the only true way to get more HP is doing a BB swap. Go Vangaurd 26hp is need be. |

Re: needing some engine mod. help.

Jordan, go into the "Big Block Talk" area and look around. That should answer your questions
Actually CC-John just did this one, http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/big-b...-pops-txt.html |

Re: needing some engine mod. help.
Yea, you can spend alot of $$$ to modify a stock GC motor to go.( I know, I'm building a 350) If you want it to grunt and spin tires the small displacement motors don't have it.
You'll need a BB, it has double displacement and torque. Ya just cant compare apples with oranges. In the long run, the BB would actually be more economical and a better machine, hands down. My .02c! tony There are some cheap mods (govenor, tunig as in carb/ intake/ exhaust) A 28 deg clutch helps these alot. You may want to try first to see if that is OK. If you have children, I would not give them a big block! (opinion) |

Re: needing some engine mod. help.
Where do you get a big block golf cart motor and what other upgrades do you have to do to the cart?
