Why is it bad to turbo a smaller engine than a bigger one? Is it because the smaller engines can't handle the stress easily? Can't you get forged pistons etc for smaller bikes as well?

gsxr250rr's are as much a hand grenade as anything else that does 18500 rpm all day, ive heard the same story all the time there crap, there unreliable, they blow up, but i have never had any sort of problem even when i turbo'd it just keep the mantanince up. and in regards to the last post 250's are harder to turbo cause they arnt as strong yes but they are more fun and thus worth it.

My old GSXR 250 did 102,000km untill the speedo cable snapped, then more spinning to a redline of 61,500 rpm.
Sometimes saw 20,000.
Blew a head gasket, when I fixed that It looked mint inside.
It is still a functioning bike now.
16,500 sound like a lot of revs but it only had a 33mm stroke so the piston speed would have been lower than most modern bigger bikes.

XN85s were a 650cc bike that supposedly made 85hp, hence the name. They were turbo'd. Someone must have converted it.

Someone did after the turbo shit itself

Yeah I know mate.. got one in the garage (see pic) havent you been up with my XN thread? the guy that just re built part of the exhaust had a XN, the ECU was blowen so the turbo and injection was out of order... so he put a supercharger and carb on it... that super charger is now for Neils CB100.

Turbo's are fun, Iv added one to my spare Z1300, I had to remake the frame to strenghten it up a bit and beef up the swing arm, add zx12r forks, brakes and wheels along with a Hyabusa rear shock.
I put the turbo behind the engine cos it keeps it out of the way, turbo is a custom build made from a Subaru WRX STi 5, apparently the turbo is good for 245 bhp, not that I expect to produce that from the Z engine

So are you going to make the bike look old school or what?
Got an awesome starting point for a street fighter there!

Street fighter has to be the right way to go, Im not going to use the original tank, I'll make a new one to look the way I want it to, have to make the side panels, tail section and fairing too, all I have to do is decide on the right look
Looks better with handlebars though
