Haha, good one Buggy. That Cary on the Kawiforums cracks me up.

If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
with the set up you would need to run 18psi the turbo lag would not be cool. at a guess at 6psi he'd still be running stock pistons with standard comp. maybe bigger/thicker head gasket so the bike would still pull like a standard (more or less) K4 off idle. sounds like the guy has met a very good compromise![]()
I don't have pics, there's nothing much to see. Engine is stock, reliability should be like standard at that boost. Boost starts at 3000 and is very progressive.
K5 owners should be careful of standard looking K4's wanting to play.
This thing has the latest model magic mirrors too.

to turbo a motor seems to be a fairly easy exercise in the right mind..
once the warranty is up on mine, on goes the blower..
Lou, those magic mirror are bloody awesome aren't they!Originally Posted by Lou Girardin

given that all normally aspirated vehicles run a vacum rather than positive presure and so do alot of forced induction vehilces...I would be really interested how you came up with that figure....and more interested how it is relivant...as horse power is generated out of an engines ability to flow air...the volume of air... the PSi or bar figures crap people wank on about is as meaning less to a engines performance as steak is to a horse... all it seems to do is give boi racers something to talk about...Originally Posted by Marmoot

Oh I see....
From one of my threads a couple of days ago...... "I like the factory fitted magic mirrors and they are so easy to operate... If you see pretty red and blue lights flashing in the mirrors just twist your right hand around and hold it there and you will actually see the pretty lights get smaller and smaller in the mirrors and then they actually vanish altogether."Originally Posted by vifferman
This looks pretty mean, putting out over 220 at the wheel....
It was on another post.Originally Posted by vifferman
Magic mirrors operated by a switch on the right grip. Twist it hard and everything in the mirrors gets very small, very quickly.

Ah yes, but it does seem to come minus the magic mirrors.Originally Posted by Fishslayer
At full throttle a naturally aspirated engine still has a slight vacuum.Originally Posted by cowpoos
In contrast, a forced induction engine has a positive pressure in the intake, in this case 6 psi. Or nearly half as much again as N/A
In effect this increases the capacity of the engine, which is why motorsport has a multiplier formula to maintain parity with N/A engines.
In F1 it was reckoned that a turbo'ed 1.5 litre was equivalent to 3 litres N/A.
Which we all know was bullshit, it was more like 9 litres.

Do ya know what kinda turbo he's using? And was it intercooled at all?
It's just one of those days, where you don't wanna wake up,
everything is fucked, everybody sucks,
You don't really know why but you wanna justify ripping someone's head off
