Hey VilentJ.....your right about the temps you stated. -459.67 degrees is Absolute Zero, and it is only a theory, as nothing known to man at this time will actually reach that low of a temp, I forget which gas will get close though, within a couple of degrees. -2400 degrees is WAY OFF! A little more info to let everyone in on, I deal with heat-treating different steels everyday, and if the frame your using is made from mild steel, which is most every frame in existance, except for aftermarket frames which are mostly chrome-moly, heat-treating or cryogenics is not needed to make the joint any stronger. If it is done correctly, you will not have any problems. Heat-treating is opposite of cryogenics, but same in theory, sorta. Heat-treating changes steel from a different state of a steels makeup, and relieves stressed areas, making the joint stronger and more durable. Later...

Do you have access to any encyclopedias? They are a great source of documented information. Now you claim that your father uses Liquid Nitrogen to freeze stuff to -2400. How is that so when the temp. of liquid nitrogen is -195.8 degrees C. or -320.4 degrees F. I would like to know where you get all of your info from. I would suggest you pick up a encyclopedia and read up. Later

 

Type in "cryogenics" in a search engine here on the web, and you will find all that you will need about the temps of the process. CryoOne is a good source of info, and actually a place that does the process, the process does work. But I think that cryogenics isn't what you are looking for in stress relieving welds, especially a mild steel frame.

 

RoostKing, I have 2 friends who each did a conversion with the Hurricane 1000. Only their's replaced the VW motor on a sand rail. That motor is really sweet and they wheelie at will, but, you may run into problems on a quad. First, it's a big powerplant and you would need lots of room to fit the motor, electronics and radiator. Second, this motor spins in the opposite direction from most others. This is why they chose this motor for the buggies, because it spins the same direction as the VW. Does that mean the sprocket is on the right side? I'm not sure, just what I have been told.

Good luck and keep us informed!

 

thats what I was going to say vilent, about 2400 below...lol yeah sure!

 

I like your idea but I have to agree with one of the other guy about the weight!! I have converted four quads over the last year 1000 /750 and 600cc and have found the 600 to be best overall. I used the Yamahe Exup motor as it is very small and lite. The biggest problem I have found with all the conversions is getting that power to the ground..Its seems that anything over 70 bhp in a quad, handles like a wild snake with a stick up its ****... Best of luck.. youll need it...

 

This is exactly what I was looking for, input from those who have done a conversion such as this. I have not bought the hurricane motor yet, Its not going anywhere, but with your guy's input, I think I am going to look around for something with a bit less wieght. Again, thanks for your guiys input, keep it coming...
