turbo ATV
well now since i'm on the hunt for a Yamaha warrior cheap... I'm thinking about turboing it
This shouldnt be a problem as my buddy owns a CNC machine show to make me flanges and ----, and i can weld at and my GF's father is a bike mechanic who used to build race bikes for a long time.... He said he can do the carbs and jetting for me so all i need is, is to build the turbo kit itself
The problem is finding a proper turbo, of course I would love to use a garrett gt12, as it is almost perfect but i would really liek to find something that came OEM on some vehicle so i gan get a turbo a bit cheaper.... did any motorcycles or even cars come with a super small turbo... i know theres ones out there but i need some models and stuff to help me search
and of course for a FMIC, I will be using a stocl DSM sidemount!!! what a perfect FMIC for a bike LOL

Re: turbo ATV
Too expensive for his project. One half of the Maserati IHI RHB3 would be more like it:

Most of the power made in that engine is in the engine and the fact that it has two dinky turbos. The compressor wheel measures 52.5 mm major but the minor diameter is 32mm. The turbine is even smaller and max CFM is barely 150 cfm. Each turbo is barely capable of 100 hp and that would be at max boost.

Re: turbo ATV
not tryin' to knock the turbo idea, since that's what this site is all about but figured I would throw you an idea...my buddy and his dad own a bike shop(they've been building bikes and cars for years)...they have a older model Kawasaki Mojave quad in their shop that they fitted with a Ninja ZX7 750cc bike engine, I don't know if building something like that would be outta your price range, but that 4 wheeler is sick..
