Blower on a fxr150

[TZ350]

One could use a more powerfull leaf blower thats driven by its own two stroke engine for the supercharger. Just fire it up before the race. I spent a bit of time in Bunnings looking at leaf blowers as I was toying with this idea for forced air cooling on my GP125.

Others have run their water pumps from a battery as there is no rule that says the supercharger or forced air cooling fan or any other accessory has to be driven by the prime mover and can't be run by its own internal combustion or electric motor, but I didn't really want the controversy and it looks like the copper is working out.

As the GP's carburettor is in its own plenum chamber a fun thing one day when we have the bike on the dyno would be to pressurise (supercharge) the chamber with a leaf blower and see what happens.

Or maybe I could get one of the other's to let me do it to their bike, now thats an idea.

Now here we go:-

Drive the compressor end of a turbo with one of those cheep 2-stroke mini bike motors to pressurise a plenum chamber with the carb in it and you have an arrangement like this. I reckon it could be done. I almost want to do it, dam superchargers are exciting.

Thanks YAMASAKI for the ideas.

how about an electric supercharger like here.... http://www.electricsupercharger.com/...uper-eram.html

Would an XL100S engine blown actually be compettitive against a tuned FXR?

I rekon a blown XL100S would spank a FXR big time!!!!!

They are a rip off, snake oil.

If an external blower motor sneaks into the rules, than maybe chemical supercharging would fit as well, NOS isnt fuel so could sneak round the fuel rule. gets rid of all that mechanical complexity

now thats one i would be interested in
do you have to release it as a gas into a plenum
or can you just sniff it under your helmet

this could be an interesting season coming up

I reckon a Turbocharged CB100 would be a formidable weapon. The little 100's go quite well if you keep them wound up. Avalon/Keith Biddles is a good example. In the right hands it's at the front of the 'A' grade pack

The Turbo from a 3 cyl Diahatsu Charade is one of the smallest around and quite a reliable unit (If you can find one). I saw one setup mounted to a manifold for fitting to a pit bike. No reason why it couldn't be set up for a CB100 tho

I was playing with the idea. But when I told granma Wobbler she had a Hissy, told me I crash too often as it is.

There's some photos on here somewhere of a turbo hooked up to a CB100, the oil supply from the motor would be pretty marginal

In the end it all got to hard so he decided to go a different way

Turbo was off a 660cc Suzuki car

Nos is great but when you squirt Nos you have to squirt extra fuel too. Easy to do if the extra fuel is from a small LPG bottle.

But just in case anyone needed to know.

If the compressions not to high and you have the bike all nicely set up and tuned just right on petrol.

You can dribble lots of nitromethane in front of the carb and allow the motor to just suck it in when you open the throttle. More nitro = more power, lots more nitro = lots more power and I expect it will run perfectly.

Thats easy piesy chemical supercharging. Nitros about $25 a litre from your aero model shop.

Don't tell anyone you heard about it from me.

I think there is a rule covering that

I was wondering if someone was going to say "you can't do that, it will blow up".

This has got to be tried don't you think, imagine your nitro powered bucket at a track day.

Next time we are at a dyno we might see if it realy does work.

try it on bike #72 first please

[TZ350]

try it on bike #72 first please

Thats Chambers bike. Yea all we need is a squirt bottle. Next time they are running #72 up we can just give it a bit of a squirt and see what it does. Its that simple.
