Hawk 250 supercharger
Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has put a supercharger on a hawk 250? I ask that because why not? I know I could rig something up just don't know how well it would work. Also felt like it was worth asking about before I try and do it and see what others have tried....

I have read comments from some of the vets on this site that it's a bit risky for these little motors because parts aren't "proformance " rated.

I was reading about people using smog pumps as superchargers on small engines. I don't think I will ever try but it's nice to think about.

Interesting, I was thinking of putting a battery of sterling engines on the exhaust, just a thought though and I guess more of a turbo then a super.... (point stands) while you may not get more than 4-5 psi hey its something.... Good to know about the smog pump I will most likely try that....

A smog pump won't work and neither will one of those electric blowers. To supercharge it you'll have to rig a way to get a pulley onto the crank or drive it off the chain but then it'll only work at high speed. A turbo would work but it's gonna be hard to find an adequate one without dropping a bunch of $. Either way you'll have to figure out plumbing, carb set-up, timing retard, possibly lower compression, possibly a fuel pump, etc. Unless you can design, build, and install the majority of the stuff yourself it'll probably be cheaper to just buy a more powerful engine.
A nitrous set-up would be cheaper and much easier. Being that it's so cold entering the engine it helps off-set the extra heat made by the extra power, especially when compared to the super heated air off a turbo or SC. I've searched a bit and haven't found anyone who's done nos or forced induction on a china bike so no clue how much the motor will handle before blowing. |

The smog pumps have been done by others you can see video of it on youtube. Would need to rig up a pulley for those. There are also some electric smog pumps not sure if those would work. I also doubt the stator puts out enough juice to keep it running.

NOS is the only thing I would even begin to humor.

That looks expensive to run.... I think a foger system under the carb then that.... I have been looking for a excuse to build a spark mill for awhile now....

I heard of one that does in fact work, catch being it only makes 4 psi and lasts about 10 seconds before the battery dies....
