To a point yeah. I have a sidecover from an RZ350, thats the street bike that the Banshee motor came from. It has an oil injection system on it. I'm using the gearing from that assembly to spin another higher volume oil pump. the only thing I don't know is which pump would be the best to put on their. The oil pump is like step 10 of this turbo project, right now I'm worried about step 5. So one thing at a time.

It'll easily hold 2 quarts without a problem. With baffeling it should be no problem for serious off-roading. I mean most swingarms are hollow inside anyways so might as well use that space. Therefore the swingarm will be as strong as stock.

Wow, are you just making ---- up as you go along?
With no expansion chamber a Banshee motor won't even run. A 2-stroke has double the exhaust energy as a 4-stroke so a 350cc 2-stroke would be comparable to a 700cc 4-stroke. Yeah, its really going to have shitty spool time compared to a 4-stroke. A GSXR 600 has around 100whp and thats what I'm shooting for with low boost and I can easily pick up my Banshee motor with one hand, can you do that with a GSXR600 motor?

Well you already proved that you have no clue what your talking about so what you think really doesn't matter does it?

Re: Turbo Vespa
whitey i was referring to you needing to put the fitting to draw oil from the swingarm near the axle. and on the bottom of the swingarm a rock or some ---- will rip off the an fitting an then your turbo goes poopie

Re: Turbo Vespa
You can get 2 stroke snowmobiles still, but everythings going to 4 stroke. watercraft, snowmobile, atv's, dirtbikes. and im sure the turbo banshee will be fast as *****. But not quite as fast as drag snowmobiles. and street bike engines? wtf? thats a hell of allot of machining for the slider clutch and the engine break and to even fit one of those in there when polaris already makes turbo 750cc 4 stroke motors, and 900cc 2 stroke race snowmobiles.

I think thats longer than the manual gives a stock banshee motor until it needs a rebuild. My Banshee will be like your Mustang's gas mileage... turbo it and engine life increases.
:P

Have faith in the master plan. I wouldn't build something shitty.
