For a while there I was doing really well in the turbo stakes. I had a Nissan Cefiro with a RB20DET(with a modified TO3) and a Mitsi L200 with a 2.3L turbo ford engine plus the McIntosh Kawasaki turbo. Down to just the bike now, but, I have just started getting serious again with the blown 125 twin - does that count?

Did have a CX500 turbo, It was the most awesome bike I've ever ridden just love that high pitch sound as it winds up, role on speed was increadable.
A mate had the only (at that time) CX650tc in the 80's and that thing just wheel spun that skinny tyre every were.

The idea of turning wast energy into usable HP is great unlike supercharging were you use HP to gain more HP.
The bike I had went up to Auckland a few years back when I sold it I brought it at 6800k adjusted the wastgate and opened the pipes out by using the std shape pipe but replacing the inners to that similer to a moderen race can which made for a much better mid range and making the lag less which is the only downfall of a turbo twin.

Yip hes got one but just done the turbo in on it, now its just a turbo oil sprayer until he gets it fixed.

While we are talking turb's a mate has a ('man I realy dont want ta say it') Yamaha XJ650 turbo and he needs a turbo for it. The question is what type of turbo is on it? I think it's a Mitsi but need to know which one.

As you lot will know the XJ runs a suck through rather than a blow through turb so it has to be the right sort.... I think, as the only other jap turbo, the Z1 ran this set up.

You sure it's a draw-thru system?I thought they blew thru the carbs....

Arrr..... yeah, sorry thats what I ment. The XJ being carbed draws the fuel mix through the turbo were as the CX, XN & GPZ are injected and the fuel mix is pushed into the manifold so this is why the XJ turbo differes from the rest, make more sence this time
