A workin' Turbo... Too cool!

Let us know how it went eh? It's a damn shame most of those things were built in the too ugly for words era (like my Mk2) when all makers were struggling for the next great thing because how mad would a turbo R1 be?

That will get the long arm of the law tapping out words of support :Oi: But I can relate to that. When I rebuilt my 85 Gixxer I had it on the road for a few test rides. :o Not much was needed at the time to get it up to a warrant standard. Just rear breaks tyre replacement damaged swing arm and weld the frame. Other than that it was great. But it did wheel stand well. ;) Once I finished the rebuild I treated it with respect. :Punk: Did to much work to crash it :ride:
It is a bright sunny day down here in Hawkes Bay. This is such a great place to live. :bleh:
:Police: :Police: Take care they just might come out to play today.

ugly, YES!! just did 200km nearly MTd the tank, i think it needs a tune up as when i chopped down throug the gears it was back firing, and i think the clutch is ready to be replaced, it felt like it slipped a couple of times, ..
up Pyes Pa way they have closed the road to rotorua.. i have (from my place to the end) 19 km of fast windy road that has only the locals using it, and (as far as i know) no cops...hint hint hint, but i think that the way i rode it today i maight have well ridden a harley!, i have a brand new rear tyre and it needs a bit more leaning to scrub it in properly!
next itime eh!

When I had me GSX750 I came across a CX Turbo on the southern motorway one day.I thought, Aha a 500 I can take this thing.
I came up beside him and gave him the hint.
I just had time to see 650 on the bloody thing an he was GONE. :blink:
I chased him all the way to the city but every time I got close he would do this mad excelaration thing again.
Wasn't any of you lot was it?? :niceone:

Na wasent me..... and if it hadent been a 650 then ya still would have been left behind once the rev's are up they haul serious ass......... braking on the other hand is a different story.

ps: I had a GSX750ez

well as you can se there is a few parts there, actually the only thing thats missing is the turbo, it is curently natraly asparated..... it is a go'r make an offer on the pile of shit if ya like.

[ajturbo]

looks like your mate has a mission! on his hands!! i'm not into doing the T. up it's my mate's that i'm looking after and i think the turbo is a bit "old".... but i had it up to 190 today, i think it is slowly freeing up after toooo many years of neglet.

[StoneChucker]

Going back to your question about the R1 - Turbo... It can, and has been done. They are selling a turbo kit for my bike now, takes it from 180bhp to 251bhp. Add in a PC3 USB, K&N air filter, Full Akrapovic race exhaust, nitrous kit (yes available), velocity stacks, and numerous other performance enhancing devices, and I'm sure you can easily crack 300bhp. Kinda scary on a 172kg bike :devil2: :devil2:

[ajturbo]

holy shit!!!! holy shit!!! you would have to tape your hands to the handels!

[StoneChucker]

Holy Shit is about right. Saying all the above, it would cost you around $15,000 I'm guessing. It seems too much of a waste, especially when I can't use all the power of the bike standard at the moment! If I was a lotto winner, I'd definitely do it up, just to see what it's like!!!

Hell, you could get a pretty impressive time at the Flying quarters, just don't put your arms out, you'd probably take off. :crazy:

Say, don't I know you? hmm, Team Pink bucket racing? Woodbourne??
