My boss is building him a fast mower. But I live in the Ozarks. Drop a dirt bike engine in it.

Seriously, moving that fast and your lawn wont be cut, you'll just have deep tire grooves in it. lol Vid of it going against your S12.

s12 would probably lose 1/8 mile, But would be horridly grotesque if it lost the 1/4... It has NO remains of lawn cutting. For exactly the reason you said. It moves too fast. Plus his lawn is small. So he uses his mazdaspeed mower.
But it's been running for 5 years like that now. So it's the most reliable boosted honda I have ever seen.

jay

so am i right? listen. the crank or whatever comes directly out the bottom, has two pulleys

a small one, and a large one, the small one is for the rear wheels, and the large one is for the blade

do i have to figure out a way to get that upside down? or should i use a different thing or what

ideas, to get it to the rear wheels..

Check this video out. I think I could use the stock T2 off my car. It looks about like what this guy is running

Turbo mower... Daily Drivin!!

You have the right idea. Go to a mower shop with the drive/blade pulley assembly like you have in picture 1, and take the "rear end" pulley. They will be able to help you. It should be a keyed shaft and they are pretty much standard.

David BMar 9, 2009, 11:36 am · #16

my main issue is how to remove that pulley in pic one

TalkingGoatsMar 9, 2009, 11:42 am · #17

Bust that nut loose and with a rubber mallet hammer downward. Since you will be hitting the blade pulley it doesn't matter if you bend it.

David BMar 9, 2009, 11:44 am · #18

hmm wow. you think thats all it is? now that makes a fuckload of sense if so true. lol thanks

TalkingGoatsMar 9, 2009, 11:51 am · #19

Do you have a propane torch? That will go a long way. You might need help to hold the top crank bolt in place.

David BMar 9, 2009, 12:01 pm · #20
