    6lb ain't much. Has it been run any higher? would be interested in seeing what it puts out at around 18lb

    I sense a lifespan of less the 5000km
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    not nessascarily, Snipe. If it's built right, and it's not being over stressed, it could carry on to be a reliable engine.. These engines are designed to be hacked around a track their whole life, so the added pressure of a light turbo done right for road riding, with some things upgraded like bearings etc, no reason why it wouldn't be.
    I've heard of a ZX6 that was turbo'd, and it's happily done 10,000 miles since it was put together and still going

    Fair enough, but I was under the impression, that a bike built like a K4 was built and tuned to get the absolute best out of the motor. Adding the extra pressure of air from a turbo would add undo stress to the motor.

    Of course, I have no proof and its just a theory.

    Ok sod the lot of ya, I'm not posting the link again, but there is the article on here about the 91 GSXR that's been turbo'd and is poking out 306kw (yes, kw, not hp) that is time proven to be reliable.

    Good on the guy for having the balls to chuck a turbo on his gixxer. But I'm with Fishslayer - wind up the boost and really stretch her legs!

    I wanted to get a turbo off a little 660cc cage motor and put it on the 250 to how that would go.

    BIG UPS TO THE DUDE FOR SLAPPING ON THE TURBO

    If my calculations are correct, with 18lbs it essentially becomes GSXR2100
    If everything runs well, a figure closer to 350 should be on the table
