if you can get a turbo off a tiny 600cc diesel car it might work.. but the boost will kick in late and it will kick in hard.

Double shot!!

Just in case you are actually serious, I will say this.
A while ago on here I told somenody they would be wasting money doing a mod to a bike they owned, someone replied to my comment saying that us kiwis are known for our ingenuity and fucking with things, The hamilton boats for example, people told him not to bother, what if he had listened?
Look, if you are worried about throwing money away, want reliable power etc, DONT do it
BUT
If you want a fun project, have some money you can afford to throw away, and have heaps of time to tinker with stuff, and are willing to go through all the crap that nobody else has developed for that bike yet, then go for it.
Yes it can be done, at a cost, (quite large) in both time and money.
But if you just want a bit more power, but a zxr, or a cbr, Hey I have a TZR 250 for sale if you want that!!!!!

actually sounds like a far better idea than turboing it, would give similar results without the turbolag, and save lots on fabrication tooOriginally Posted by Drew

Sure, you can weld all sorts of bits together, but nowhere there does he show you the boost gauge.. It's a fantasy, and not a bad one, but a fantasy all the same.

Big problem with turbocharging a single is that the compressor does not like having the door shut on it, as in when the inlet valve closes. Compressor will go into surge condition and fail shortly after. Multis (ie 4cyl and up) don't have this problem as there is usually at least one inlet valve open all the time, so the flow from the compressor remains fairly constant. You can get around the problem by having a plenum in the intake, the volume of which should be at least equal to the engine size, but bigger is better. Honda 650 v twin turbo used this idea, whereas the suzuki and kawasaki 4's didn't need it.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

haha nah mate I managed to close it quickly enough and remove all traces from my history before anyone noticed

Of course it's a better idea. I looked into it when I was gonna turbo my FZR. The only real draw back, was the finite supply. If I could produce No2 while I drove, every vehical I own would be kitted.

Back in the 1980s I had a mate with a Yamaha RD400. He put a Turbo on it and then took it off again once he had repaired his bike. The old Turbos had a serious lag before kicking in. I am sure the new ones are better however the extra power burst may be hard to control.

Turbo's are great, Iv had a IHI VF23 (Subaru WRX) modified to suit my project Z1300, the pipe work was pretty easy but Iv nodified the frame to be able to use standard headers and run the turbo behind the engine under the seat
You have to try things in life, whats the worst thing that can happen???
A, it doesnt work
B, you blow it up
how will you find these things out if you dont try?

Crikey mate, you're a keener man than I, to put one on a shafty. The old girl gonna try and snap the shocks when ya feed it the message.
Cool as all fuck though!!!

Drastic measures taken in that department the old girl is now sporting a Hayabusa rear shock and a soon to be constructed thicker driveshaft with 2 UJ's rather than one (cos I have a much wider wheel) the weakest link is going to be the tyre
