I think half is more likely. Then it needs a fill.

Why you should own a turbo busa...

**AllanB** · 8th August 2013, 20:45

You'd need to turbo it if you are that fat ..........

That aside theres no doubt the thing would be well quick in a straight line but even with the extended swingarm removed hows it going to be for anything bar a straight line?Would like to see some graphs re how/when the Turbo kicks in.Bloke on the TL forum that supercharged his TLS for the hill climb events got to 203 hp which was fucking amazing but after racing the thing he sold the motor and ended up racing a TL with bigger jugs and no charger.That said its horses for courses eh,that busa would be fucking quick.

You would most likely run a boost controller on the street and have it set to the wastegate spring pressure (6 - 8psi). Apparently you can still make 230 - 270hp at the wheel on the standard swingarm with a GT28 Garrett. There would not be a need for anymore boost on NZ roads, with the right sprocket combinations a setup like that would see you going well over 200mph IF you wanted to. I think the boost comes on at around 5500rpm on RCC kits but there are ones that can bring it as low as 3000rpm.

Idealy I would like a bike with bolt on extensions that can be taken to the track for LSR and Drags and then reverted back and the boost toned down for street use.

I think you will find his BMI chart will indicate he is just a bit short for his weight....

No way that guy is massively over weight. 110kg max. But fuck that anyway.

Heres a real turbo busa...

You reckon? .....hahaha....that was wasted on you wasn't it

**AllanB** · 8th August 2013, 21:32

7.38 that's faster than my Hornet ....................

Maybe I should extend the swingarm :-)

Just add turbo, $30,000ish and a shitload of R&D lol

**AllanB** · 8th August 2013, 21:37

There was a turbo one on a US forum - lots of R&D required as he kept popping internal bits. Home made set up wound up way too high was the verdict.

I do wonder why we do not see more supercharging on motorcycles - strikes me as a fairly easy way of adding power. I have seen a VTR 1000 kit on the net - shit that would be cool.

think you might find that's a 1/8mile track, not a 1/4 mile one..

Very hard to DIY a supercharger for a motorcycle, and most of the right hand fairing needs to be removed on a sportsbike. Kits would definitely be the way to go. My brother just installed a Twinscrew Eaton on a 1.6L 4AGZE Toyota. Things sounds fucken insane and it does stand out from all the turbos on the ricer scene. I welded the majority of the mounts and plumbing for it and it was a bit of a nightmare getting everthing to fit but the result is a cool 300HP+

Turbos are easy for the DIY Guru but chargers are definitely the way to go if you want to standout

think you might find that's a 1/8mile track, not a 1/4 mile one..

Highly fucking skeptical of this statement considering 199mph was achieved...
