Okay, this thread jack is becoming gayer and gayer.
More turbo talk... and I want to find some forged pistons.

Chuck the turbo on the clicky motor. When it goes bang, it should be spectacular!

lol stop mucking around and throw a screw blower on the sod will work better than a turbo or roots type blower any day of the week

would love to.... but the price and sourcing of such a thing for a bike in li'l old NZ would be faaaaar too out of reach.. the only reason I'm concidering a turbo, is because I have one... and I'm a bit of a dab hand with f-glass (to a poin, I havnt tried farings yet!!! :P ) so I can make a lightweight plenum and induction tube

Here's a thought.

The bike wont last long with a turbo on it anyway. So put a draw through carb on there and get it done over a weekend.

I might have a couple of SU carbs lying around
Keen to see how far a leg can go out of bed in a ZXR?

Best advice so far.

With video of said leg heading to the heavens of course.

well, because this seems to have migrated to being a turbo thread... and because i just love the idea: has anybody had any experience with a draw through carb setup on a turbo....? aside from the inherent and massive lag; I guess they would be easier to tune for the rev range? however then they must also have terrible idle... would it be possible to use a carb with an accelerator pump; then just re-route the flow from this function, to a jet right close up to the manifold.....?

lol but turbos just pump mixture into the engine and don't work very efficiently on street engines, only as it reaches optimum speed & as with roots type blower they pump heat in as well. If your going to fiddle with the motor you want something that'll work at all speeds as well as or if not better than a turbo at optimum speed.
A Sprintex S82 is especially designed for bikes or you get a S102 (same as fitted to some range rovers) run 7psi pressure and come away with a engine running 40% more power
