Re: Turbo Vespa
dude your crazy, a 125cc 2 stroke bike makes around 29-30 hp. stock
that vespa even though its 125cc it doesnt even make half of that, its air cooled non reed petal intake design, low revving, its a piece of ---- basically. they must have either done a shitload of internal work, or they are lying

Re: Turbo Vespa
people do that all the time in greece. its not uncommon to see them hang with bigger 400cc motorbikes, untill you reach like 120 and the wind resistence is soo great that you seem to be messed up with bugs.
iu recal reading a mag article ( in greek ) with a 50cc engine thgat pumped out 50+ bhp. it was on a mini drag bike though.

What do you mean whatever happened to it.
Right now I'm looking for someone to make flanges for the turbo. You also have to remember its not just slapping a turbo on it. 
I handbuilt an entire fuel injection system from scratch, helping to create code for timing control from a stator since there is none around, designing a charging system for a bike that didn't have one, and making an self-contained oiling system using the swingarm as an oil tank. It'll take as long as it takes to get it right. Also, I haven't really had time to work on it recently becuase its not my top priority in life. Pics: http://www.hmt-tv.com/hmt/matt/Banshee/

You smoking crack kid.
A Banshee has 6.5:1 compression stock, it doesn't get much lower than that. Also my Banshee has forged pistons in it and so does almost every other 2-stoke that gets rebuilt once. 370cc 175rwhp and it doesn't "melt." Try that with a 4-cylinder.
:
And snowmobiles are 4-stroke cause tree hugging hippie ******* basically made the 2-stroke motor illegal so noboby is making them anymore. Don't talk like your an expert on the topic when you obviously have no experience with what your talking about.
