Supercharger, Turbo or don't be silly

Spend the money on other stuff. Radar, better leathers/gear, rep helmet, penis enlargement etc.

i couldn't find the option for both, so i just ticked supercharger.
turbos are great - but i shit myself when my bike hits the extra valve so a turbo would be tad unpredictable boost wise in my mind

What about a gloss black paint job, black leathers, black helmet, black michelins, black engine covers, black beard, black teeth.....

TURBO BRO!!!!! After building up my turbo mini and enduring endless "Why?" type questions I can tell you from experience that nothing beats the first decent run on full boost as the fucker spools up and you find yourself grinning like a complete idiot.
I worked with the guy who had the S and R Pro (Aussies, in any Rapid magazine) guys build up the GSX1400 turbo used in the K and N adds (in most Aussie bike magazines). I've seen the thing in the flesh (parked in my driveway!) and the workmanship was superb. He was rapt with there work and sent it back for an even hotter upgrade, couldn't speak highly enough of them.

Don't think about it, ignore the naysayers, DO IT!

Option 1 and 2 - Go for the land speed record.

Turbo it, superchargers are shit as you take a third the power of the engine just to drive the bloody thing

Supercharge the sucker I say

Couldn't have said it better myself... some people will just never understand.

Supercharger would probably be my choice bro, looks like it's the better bang for buck, plus i expect it would retain better ridability with a smoother power delivery. And if it runs a toothed belt drive then it'll sound fucken horny!

Be aware that 'bolt-on kit' would usually make a good Tui ad aye!

Would also enquire bout how much boost they run, how much boost it's safe to run before fitting a thicker head gasket/intercooler. And availability of different sized pulleys.

Supercharge it. It sounds better than turbocharge

More money than sense. I like your style

Hidden option 4: Give generously to the Deviant Esq's Next Bike fund...

p/t

I vote supermacharcher. More linear power than the turbo... with the turbo things will come in stepped rushes. Low in the rev range: no boost, off cam. Revs get higher, boost kicks in, kiwifruit falls of the back. Top 4000rpm: on cam, on boost, traction optional, kiwifruit long gone.

Pics when you do it! We need more bike porn.

sc more usable down low (where turbo out of efficiency/usable range etc) but slightly less power and those kits cant be pullied any more from what i've seen meaning no boosting up with out buying another sc to up the boost with otherwise you run the risk of overloading the damn thing.

tc is pretty open ended, can be opened up a little more than normal boost once forged/worked engine etc is installed.
i have a spare engine and am looking into this myself, (either cammed or forced induction depending on money i can save) probably aiming for turbocharged. apparently it helps to swap out the ti valves on the 10s with stainless ones so they don't burn too bad

so not completely 'bolt on'. also muzzy kit don't have a pc3 either???

also, can't beat rolling it on in 4th out of boost, hearing that thing hit start to hit boost ,spool up and then throw you back in the seat and onto one wheel

so yeah, i'll look forwards to seeing your results if you go ahead with it, i know i'll enjoy working on mine soon ^_^

Turbo all the way mate.

**Mr. Peanut** · 24th May 2007, 12:28

BwoooaaarRRR!!!! ChittitituuuuUuuuu!!!
Whhiiiineeee!!!!!!! KSSSS!!!

Option 2.

**DingDong** · 24th May 2007, 12:37

I say Turbo, if your going to make an uncontrllable monster Alan killer do it properlly... you should out run those piggies too (not that you'd ever do something as wreakless as that)

Best advice... NOS... it cheaper and will fry your valves quicker
