    you can turbo almost anything..
    I've seen 250s and less with turbos, and even some with compressors (spelt with a K if you work for Mercedes)..

    It's all relevant for the size of the turbo vs size of the engine vs size of the required power

    suzuki do a 900cc car (cappachino?) with a turbo.. that'd be a nice size..

    MarkAuckland had a bloody pit bike with a turbo on it. I'd get 4 of those and put one on each cylinder, with different pitched blow off valves..

    Ah...now you'll have to make ya mind up , do you want a 4 or a 2 stroke bike ???...4 stroke Turbos are easier to set up...2 stroke turbos major head fuck tbh (but i could be wrong, has been a while since I fooked about with turbos).
    Doesn't play well with others

    how about a turbo off a GT charade GT ti....i would imagine very expensive to set up but sure would be something different. you can buy a kit with fuel to air intercooler but its up around $7-8ooo.takes for instance a yamaha zeals power from 28hp to 85 at 16000 rpm.

    Why don't you just get a bigger bike, cheaper in the long run. Factory standard turbo bikes had different compression ratios and stronger engine components than standard machines. I guy I used to work with had a CX500 turbo, and reckoned it was frightening in and out of corners, because of lag and boost timing.

    Easy things to sort I had no problems, and at the end of the day ya best of learning to ride it beter and avoiding the power comming on at the wrong time and keep the revs out of the lag.

    nezorf/frozen for fuck sake mate, not being able to spell is one thing, but useing text and crude spelling even puts the shits up me, try harder will ya.

    Nothing wrong with car turbos, they come in all sizes and shapes even a skyline turbo will work on a 750cc one advantage is you dont need a wast gate.

    What you should do is get 2 bikes. Get a good road legal bike that you can ride (safely) and you dobn't need to work on. That way you've got a bike that doesn't rwuire anything (and you're riding). The second bike you want is probably something like a 4 stroke 250 that needs some work. It doesn't have to be road going (or going for that matter) but it does need to be able to be fixed. Before you think about how you can turbo it, learn how it works, how it fits together, and what you can do to change it's performance. Once you have that learned knowledge fitting and tuning a turbo will be easy. As a bonus you'll be able to tune and service your road going bike.

    Just my 2c. But I reckon you should focus on the basics first.

    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.

    we will remember them
