If you go 150cc, gy6 is the wayyyy! hit up a taida dealer, taida make blocks for their 232cx setup. A guy in hawaii is a taida dealer and d*** is his ruckus fast!
Seen couple gy6 turbos, but dont think vids do them justice.
Oh and lmk if you'd sell that kymco block. Lol

Oh and nice setup btw. Sohc-v turbo gives more action than you expect.
I know its in an ek but was wondering, is it a z6 or y8? Or mini-me build?

its a y8 completetly built 1000cc injectors gt35r eagle rods wiseco pistons cometic mhg arp hardware twin disc clutch. done alot of work for this guy.
on a side note. no luck today with finding an engine, i did however find 3 85 honda elite 250s but they are watercooled and are very noticably NOT a 49cc engine lol. gonna order a piston and ring kit for the time being just so i have something to ride around until i get the 375 for a 150 gy6

I'm pretty sure he relocated the upper shock mounts higher on the fork assembly.
After seeing his last year I did the same thing.
