"Built completely here in the shop, this ultimate pit cruiser has: 4130 steel tube chassis and pedal assembly, 160cc overhead cam Honda hemi, teeny IHI turbo, a handmade billet belt drive oil pump (for the turbo), custom ceramic coated 1 1/4 inch header and 2 inch exhaust, billet aluminum intake manifold, fabricated aluminum gas tank, cross drilled hydraulic disc brakes (maybe a little too much brake), Dunlop slicks, etc...

Oh yeah, and a "spool" haha. (remember, spools don't wreck cars, people do)

The answers to the popular questions are: No I don't know how fast it goes due to health concerns, but race karts with similar gearing go about 70 mph. Yes this turbo is available and I will sell you as many as you want for $1400 each, you can be the first guy on your block with a turbocharged lawn mower.

And remember, almost everything that goes through my shop gets turbo'd, so be careful where and what you park around here.

What a waste, why give it all that power when it will tip at like 5mph. Those parts could have been used to create a really wicked go-kart.
