Golf Cart

**hccumminssmoke** · 07-11-2007, 05:36 AM

Im not sure where to post this, so I've decided to listen to what you guys have to say. I play golf constintly!!! Im going to college for it!!! So since I love diesel power so much I want to find a small like 1 cylinder or maybe 2 and swap it in!!! Would it work do you think? I saw the 700 Artic Cat in Diesel Power...so I would think a golf cart could work...Any input would be great!

Thats going to be a pricey swap. There are some small diesel motors with transmissions becoming available now that you may be able to make work. Or since you don't need to go that fast, a generator engine may do well for you. You could always gear the rear end high, and then do a divorce mount transfercase to work as a 2 speed, but shift on the fly would be tricky without a clutch. I guess you get to start engine shopping.

I found one new on Ebay for $400, its 10hp, but the only problem i see is when a golf cart stops it doesnt idle...it just stops ya know??? I also saw a pic of a cart in diesel power with a stack...the guys give me looks and yell when i pull up blowing smoke in the parking lot...what would they think if i let some out driving hole to hole!!!

u could use a clutch set up like the jd gators have

**hccumminssmoke** · 07-11-2007, 03:13 PM

Well I guess I could just find a JD gator thats a diesel and do a swap like that...and Sean I think it would w/o a doubt roast some tires, but i really want it to blow some smoke!!! fab some twin stacks and run them out the sides away from the plastic...oh man!!!!

I think it'd be pretty hard to get to work. But if it did, it'd be awesome, and you'd get like 200 MPG.

That's the way most golf carts are.

I wouldn't mind doing something like that in the future because the party of the country where I want to live I have freinds that live about a mile in each direction. So I'd probably have to put some bigger tires on it because I'd probably have some driving I'd do in open fields.

**hccumminssmoke** · 07-11-2007, 04:51 PM

yea...it would be cool every once in a while on the course, but id like to see it with like a 2 or 3 inch lift, bigger wheels and tires...and did i mention stacks???

You'd probably have to put a stack or two on it to keep it quiet on the course. The stacks do a good job of channeling the sound up where it can't reflex off of anything.

Usually 20 hp set ups.
