How many of you own a ZXR250A/C?

It would be a nightmare to run :/

As a guess I would say you are looking at about $4000 or more.. why not just drop a 400cc motor in (if you were blessed with the coolness a zxr can give you :P)

How in the world would you ever turbo a zxr250? Surley the 5c coin sized valves and friggen tiny cylinders would mean any decent boost pressure would send the piston across two or three lanes of traffic?

But not as cool as a Ducati CBR426F K5 Ninja F4 Super Corsa!!!!!!!

How easy is it to get a 400 motor in? Are the 250 and 400 practically the same except for capacity?

Screw off with your CIBBER.

Yes they are pretty much Idetical, may need work of the engine mounts but I doubt it - I will be doing it at the end of the year - will only need to throw in larger jets in the carbs and a new CDI and you have some 400hundy loving.

As for this turbo shit - shut up dont even think about it - its beyond you (not being sad, But its true) if you want to get a decent gain in HP fuel inject it - you will get more reliable preformance and be pumping out the same if not more power than a 400.

what do you think my odds are getting away with it as a 250 during warrant time?

They dont check engine numbers very often

but anyway - just take it to a bike shop - they will let it slide

just explain it to them.

I don't actually see the point in Brand rivalries. If I ZXR came along before the CBR, I would've brought it. They're both as good as each other

You have the better bike of course, with its blinged fairings. I've got no fairings, no brakes and a rather large dent in the tank that's beginning to rust. It was such a nice bike when I brought it. Sorry Her_B4

And of course the whole idea of a turbo and shit is way beyond me, at least at the moment. Maybe when I've done my course at Vic uni and might give it a go on my Litre bike I have at the time

Also I can't mod the bike if I wish to continue racing it anyway

yeah i just liked the look of a zxr better than a cbr, mind you cbr250rr is realy nice too, but then thats zxr250c's competition and i recon zxr takes it again... just. Alot harder to decide based on look with the new ones.
My bike was in the right place at the right time...if it was a cbr, id be a honda suporter now

Turbo'd 250's have been done before. Honda apparently made a cbr 250rrrrrrrr(XJWXY whatever it was) and it had about 92hp at the crank, very rare and I doubt if you would ever see one in NZ anyway

Hell I have seen turb'd 50cc scooters. By the time they make enough exhaust to spin it up they are at top speed anyway so its sorta useless, they also have turbo charged RC planes.. they are about 25~cc or so (from memory) and have specially made turbos for them.

So don't think it aint possible... my lawnmower could be turbo one day
