Re: My EZ-Go Big-Block Project Thread
had a major tinker day today. finally got the last of my parts in to do the electrical work.
- 6.5” speakers - cheap little bluetooth single din - amber & red clearance lights - 12” light bar - fuse box - main battery disconnect i got the portable ac going in the garage after doing some yard and garden stuff for my wife, and went to town planning and accomplishing. here are some pics overall i’m pretty happy with how things turned out. not psyched about the fitment of the radio in the ball holder, but i can tweak and find a material to make a trim plate to hide some of the ugliness. the switch pod took the place of the old key and tee holders very nicely. i’m very happy i put it there instead of near the shifter or under the radio the running lights should help others see me at dusk/night the light bar is absurd. it may be too bright.

Re: My EZ-Go Big-Block Project Thread
fiddled some more today, really trying to get the kinks worked out.
fabbed a heat shield between the muffler and fuel tank because it was way too close for comfort. feeling better about it with this piece in place. i had an old stop sign laying around so i sacrificed it. i put some mastic on the underside of the seat and on the tank as well. seems to have made a difference on the seat. i temp wrapped the fuel line until i could replace with a longer one. all good now. also installed a solar trickle charger for long sunny rides or when it sits and heats up. i used to run around 12.5v with all accessories on, and in full sun this sits at 12.7 - 12.8v happily. pretty happy with how the cart turned out. aside from a few little tweaks here or there, i think i’m done with major stuff. hope these pics aren’t massive, i uploaded as small as i could Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: My EZ-Go Big-Block Project Thread
Looks good. Pics are much smaller, easier to scroll down. On the solar trickle charger, do you have a controller with that? If not, be carefull parking it out in the sun it can overcharge the battery. Doesn't the engine have a charging circuit? What voltage do you see at idle and at 2000 rpm?

charging circuit on these predator motors are really low. something like a 6amp charging circuit, i doubt it would be enough to recover extended accessory usage. i do have a controller for the solar panel coming in the mail today Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Re: My EZ-Go Big-Block Project Thread
Nice project! I have a 2013 TXT I want to do a 670 swap with however haven't been able to up to this point because of the clutch orientation being on the "wrong" side. Looks like whoever did your conversion figured it out; is forward reverse and reverse forward in your cart?

correct, and thank you! ill take any pics you’d like to see. the rear end doesnt limit speed in reverse or forward, so there has been no issues with this setup. im not sure what primary clutch is on it, i’d like to pull it apart one day and see. the secondary clutch is an EZGO part number. are you planning to do a vegas carts kit?

Re: My EZ-Go Big-Block Project Thread
considering doing a winch possibly. i do know i’ll do some rock lights and interior lights just for some zing and pep. lol. the controller was a good call, appreciate you there. i like that i can keep it topped off without worrying about an overcharge Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
