Turbos for bikes?

[325rocket]

True words ... A $5000 dollar bike with $5000 spent on it ... is more often than not, still worth $5000 ...
.

or $3500

It can be done, but at the end of it you'll still have a very expensive small bike that's not worth much except in satisfaction

maybe, but a project is not always an investment so the money spent is just that, money spent.
many good projects turn into hobbies.

Sigh... Turbo a motorcycle by all means but go for a multi, a small single does not produce a smooth enough exhaust stream to make it work properly - many have tried, all have failed..... Singles also have impulsed inlet tracts and don't respond well to any forced induction so forget a supercharger too...

agreed, traditional methods of charging a single cylinder engine would not work very well. Though if the supercharger was designed to pulse pressure in time with the valves it could work, and you could even stick some exposed throttle butterflys sticking out through the front of the fairing somewhere, itd be porno as

Every time the Mitsubishi Cordia driver changed gear the airhorns attached to the pop off valve would "barp!" loudly, making old ladies fall over and break their hips, dogs run in random directions, and gap toothed Motuekan shop keepers run into the street shaking their fists.

Blow off valves are next on the noise control list.This guy is speeding up the process to put more power into the hands (and minds) of small ineffectual people like myself,whose only pleasure in life is to upset someones day.I glow with pride the more abuse is heaped upon me.....

I saw this video of a bike with a turbo and now I want one on my bike, but is it possible to get a turbo for a Scorpio? If so then where can it be done and what would be the positives and negitives of having one?

You can turbo (nearly) anything with sufficient oil flow provided you can match the turb to your motor, in this case being a tiny single it would take MUCHO DENERO to make it go well (if at all), you would be much much better to get a bigger bike first, then turb that

Positives - WAAAYYYY more power when on boost and the bank will give you heaps of street creds.

Negatives - it will cost your soul, your legs, a kidney and your first born child. Also way higher fuel consumption, harder on every part of your drive train, tires, frame, suspension etc. Then it will cost you more money. Then you will hit boost in a corner and it will hit the big red eject button....

Easlily timed to pulse with the inlet, by running the injecter switch off the exhaust cam. (Mount it proper though, ya dont wanna find bits of it in the sump).

Bwahahahahahahaha, that's so sick, and so funny.

What could you possibly say, by way of excuse for finding that wee gem Pete?

I was purely trying to point out the pros and cons of forced air induction.

An intercooler would help.
