Ways To Increase The Performance Of Your GY6 Engine Go-Karts

People who own a go-kart/buggy always come face to face with the decision of performance modifications in their GY6 engine once in their ownership lifetime. Therefore, this section will look at various ways and parts that can be added to modify and increase the performance of GY6 engines used in go-karts.

A lot of go-karts are powered by a 150cc engine based on the Honda GY6 scooter engine platform. Thus, the GY6 engine with CVT owns a decent performance for its small 150cc engine displacement. This is why a small 150 cc Carter Brothers engine can move a heavy go-kart along with an adult.

However, modifications kits for these go-kart engines are available, along with other modifications that further helps in increasing the already high performance of the GY6 engine.

Any mass-produced engine comes with a lot of compromises because of the manufacturing restraints like time and cost. These compromises usually limit the efficiency and performance potential of the machine. Increasing airflow throughout the engine is the primary goal as more airflow with appropriate fuel leads to more power-producing potential.

* Installing a high air filter system - One method is to install a high air filter system. The stock airbox can be eliminated according to the requirement, and a high-flow air filter can be used. Experts suggest that an oiled Uni foam is probably the best way to go for a very dirty and dusty off-road condition on go-kart applications. This is because, without the oil, the foam will not effectively filter out damaging dust particles.

* Re-jetting the carb - A carburetor is a point where the engine's fuel and air are mixed in a Falcon engine. The ratio of the mixture is what is responsible for the performance of the machine. You can thus, buy a range of different engines available of websites online with different configurations so as to maximize the performance of your go-kart to the maximum. It's usually affordable to get your carb entirely replaced on a GY6 engine which seems a viable option.

Conclusion

With the above ideas in mind, there are various additions available online such as a Go-Kart reverse engine, a buggy engine with performance transmission, etc., which will help make your go-kart performance-centric.
