RE: FAAAAAAST lawn mower
I havnt made much progress on it for a while as I was at a friends house. Today Im going to finish up putting the hoses on. Diesel fuel it kind of does sound like a real turbo when its starting up and after you shut it off but when its running it sounds like a vaccum. Im going to get it all done tonight then il take it for a drive and tell you if it makes much of a difference.

Well the turbo is all complete. I took it for a drive today, and didnt notice a huge difference, but there was a bit.

I was watching some lawnmower races last night on speedvision and it looks like most of them are switched to chain drive with straight axle like on a sport quad, or go kart perhaps.

RE: FAAAAAAST lawn mower
I finally got around to taking pics of my lawn beast. Like I said before, I squeezed in a Kohler V-twin OHV and and changed the engine pulley, nothing too dramatic. The hardest part was the wiring. Wheelies a plenty. I use it as a puller. Can only get up to little over 10 mph.
