Yep... another 250 turbo thread. Turbo newb needs help.

I think this is just the thing you're after:

I say go for it! But defo get yourself a second engine to experiment on.

Those guys are a fucking crack up!!! Dodgiest welds too!!!

[R6_kid:Me]

do it tristan. once you have a turbo its all fab work and engineering... so its not *that* hard. just $$$

[marty]

quoting myself - how sad......

oh you guys - leave him alone. he's a 19 year old self confessed poseur - let him turbo his bike - it's a GR thing.....

says the man who's looking at a $4k turbo kit for the busa.......but may have to shelve it pending the purchase of new toy by the end of the week

no2....................

Save your money and buy a new GSXR600 or R6. It'll be as fast, or probably faster through the bends... even it was to weigh more (which it pretty much doesn't), it hasn't got shagged 10 year old suspension, and the suspension is of a far superior design and spec. That, and the extra 60-80bhp means why would you bother?

Somthing to consider about performance, reliability and sound design... The Japanese have incredible skill, and large R&D departments... why haven't they built a turbo 250?

Because no-one else has

Thank you for your comments... some interesting things pointed out. Modern 600 has a slightly higher dry weight than my bike WET, yep I weighed it myself at buckets once.

I'm not doing this as a wheelie/stunt machine, just the fact that it hasn't really been done (heard rumours of a zx2r going 90kms then popping with a turbo on it :|) and the uniqueness. I also love my bike, still do this day my most favourite bike ridden... done the k5 600, zx7r... 600f, and most of the 250's apart from the 2 strokes (will ride an rs250 in a week or so), rg150 blahrdy blah Liked the power of the big bikes but got sick of it on the more linear delivery types. I love the handling of my bike and so does everyone that has ridden it, I love my bike.. plain and simple. Little bit more oomph and sound would hit the spot to be honest.

I also love turbos and things that spin and make noise. A micro jet engine might be easier, but more expensive and less rewards. - I'm a nutter.

edit: LOL at the australian exhaust manifold.. farkin hell that's classic. I couldn't dream of being more rungi than that!

The torque increase will make it a wheelie machine? It'll probably still have less torque than a 600, and they're not exactly wheelie machines... If he wanted a wheelie machine, he could go up 6 teeth on the back.

.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I've gone up 6 at the back and 1 down at the front (running a 15 52 set) on the 600 and sure it comes up really fast in first and can bump it up in second but it's not got the wheelie capacity as most thou's. The good thing is that the 600 still has enough HP to get the pull on the large sprocket. On a 45HP bike (and thats on a good day) you'll really see a difference and It will still be a mission to wheelie.

great guys, so you are doing this N4CR?

PM me if SERIOSULY so, because i can/will help in various ways. Mainly to help make it cheaper for you, however, if you dont have a good few thousand ready for bits then no time wasting

Theory is there.... And no you wouldnt go getting a Supra turbo. I love some of the great advice given on KB Very very small turbo, esp. for the point of it being a starting point, then worry about psi rise/compression and where the next weakest link is.

Maybe a turbo from one on those honda city's or whatever... they are pretty damn small . I would be keen to see what comes of this and stuff. Oh yeh and you might want to talk to DEATH INC as well he is the man when it comes to this sort of stuff.

AS per Winja, Nitrous Oxide

[jonbuoy]

If you have to drop compression won't you loose out on a lot of power when your off the turbo? You probably woudn't notice it much on a bigger bore bike, would be quite a drop on a 250 - no?

[imdying]

Because no-one else has

How would you explain the 6 cyl Goldwing? Or the Rune? Or the king n queen seat scooters? Or any one of a number of unique JDM models? They're all tiny buggers, and yet they've not built a tiny turbo bike... cause they've never thought of that? The land of turbo everything? I sense another Tui add coming on...

[FlyingDutchMan]

The reason you don't see factory turbo 250's is that 250s are limited by jap law to 40hp (used to be 45hp pre 94). Since they can do it without a turbo why would they stick one on?

[ducatilover]

do it too my spada. then ill rangi some rs250 fairings or cbr250rr fairings onto it, then ill machine my own tripple clamps and fit rs250 usd forks and ... and.... maybe i should try it!

[HDTboy]

I just read the first post in this thread, but if you're serious, keen and have the neccessary dough, I'll talk to you about it at Taupo on Snuday.

Alternatively, KK sounds like he's on the right track
