@therenaissanceman59: Torque converter vs Centrifugal clutch comparison on a 223 wildcat engine. I love both sets ups but this engine did not perform with a torque converter on it like it did with just a clutch. It felt sluggish and took forever to get moving. Pedal to the floor and the kart felt like it was barely doing over 30mph. I wish the mph was working on the go pro to see the difference in acceleration between the two setups. Needless to say I'll be putting the clutch back on the engine. #comparison #torqueconverter #clutch #wildcat223 #gokart

Steven Kinnison :

Did you try a juggernaut torque converter?

Jesse Sarabia :

I had the same issue. They belt was slightly off, so I fixed that and switched out the secondary pulley spring with a higher tension yellow spring. Fixed the exact issue your talking about. Insane torque with good power and thru the gear. max rpm is limited tho

MootMoon :

If you ride mainly flat ground like that just stick to the clutches bro, torque converters are mainly for wheelies and off roading

Celsius :

gearing ratio and pully ratio is what makes the difference in performance

Jahir Perez :

Try out the juggernaut driver for the torque converter it makes a big difference.

austin_yoinks :

Change gearing too

Thunderfox45g :

Having a bike or gokart fast with a tourqe converter is all about tuning stall rpm, driven pulley spring tension, over drive lockout, gearing, belt alignment

Leonard Edler :

Do a stage 2 juggernaut on it. and do some gearing you'll love it and it will increase your acceleration and torque and it doesnt eat belts like the stock driver will

Dat guy :

Alen Eckhardt :

Possibly need heavier weights on the TC so it will max out faster, lighter weights require more rpm to fully engage.

danny :

I race electric carts and this is a different side of go cart racing that i don't normally get to see, it cool

Abishia Dively :

It's not the TC. It's your gearing on the sprockets. Go bigger on the drive (front) sprocket. You'll pick up more torque and acceleration.

The_Small_Engine_Shed_YT :

Can you tune them CVT by changing the real spring or changing the roller weights ?

Jesse🇺🇸 :

maybe the stall? I ain't no transmission tech but like stall makes a huge difference

cdrbn :

do you have to have a clutch to have a torque converter or can you have either?

Ŵâŷłǒñ :

Get the juggernaut driver it will help a lot

theoneliam2 :

My clutch tops out in like 4 seconds and rips burnouts right off the line so I don’t see the benefit as much of a tongue converter

Batwing :

You’ll burn up a clutch wayyyyyy faster

Gabe_moto :

Y not a semi auto ? Best in my opinion because u only have to let off throttle

Huddog :

I took the clutch off my mini bike and put the torque converter on and I could not believe the increase in power and speed top and bottom end. The torque converter is so so so much better

WSTG RDC :

Keep working on it!

Jeremy Booker :

it's prolly the gearing not the clutch

Matt Popp 🇺🇸 :

You mean a CVT vs Centrifuge Clutch. It’s not a TC.

TakeTimeToThink :

more of a CVT. it's weighted wrong.

Flying Hooks Racing :

you can also change the weights in the torque converter, usually less than $15
