get a big one. ;D

i dont think i have ever seen anyone on this site turbo a bike. seen turbo bike pictures, but no one who has done the project.

Re:turbo bike
 

An IHI off a Ford Probe might work :P

Re:turbo bike
 

rpm's have nothing to do with overboosting. The wastegate controls the speed of a turbine, if it revved to 500 or 500,000 rpm's the boost would stay the same.

Re:turbo bike
 

ya it would be the same boost if i use a big wg like a 44mm, but im not going to use a big wg just so i can use the worng turbo for the bike

Re:turbo bike
 

Maybe an IHI, or something off a twin turbo car like a Supra, or a 3000-GT. I dunno what size twin turbo Rx-7's are but you could try them too.

Is your bike carbed? Might wanna look into blow-thru carb setups if it is.

Re:turbo bike
 

A turbo's usually only overspool if you run them without resistance to the compressor such as no chargepipes. As for overboosting, thats caused by a too small wastegate, not A/R's of the turbine.

If your planning on running a small turbo on a GSXR than your already planning on running the wrong turbo ;)

Re:turbo bike
 

i agree... wastegate controls boost settings. not size of turbo or how high you rev. big turbo, 38mm wg. and you'll be fine...

Re:turbo bike
 

basiclly your turbo sizing should be looked at like you have a 1.3L or so.. You only have .6L liters, but it spins twice has fast as most enigines.

My local turbo builder just bought a busa that he specificlly bought to turbocahrge. He's going to use two T-25 turbos from the twin turbo 300zx ( they support 400hp on the 300zx ).

I'm thinking a TD05H-14B would be in the middle. ONE T-25 would be small. And a T-3 would be big.

I'd go with a TD05H-14B, or T3 .42/.48.

I'm a turbo freak, but I'm not sure I'd want a turbo Gixxsa. When the boost comes on, its going to be insane, and I just can't see it being predictable while doing wheelies, high-chairs, and other "power needed" stunts.

You also need to concider the weight. Weight is everytihng to a bike ( almost ), if you plan on racing it..

I've riden 3 different 03' gsx-r600 s, an old ninja 600R, and a 02' gsxr1000 ( no freaken R6 or R1s !!! ). I gotta tell ya, its going to be hard to catch a 1000 !!! That's a scary bitch !! For stunts, I'd buy a gsxr750, for speed a gsxr1000 and both would have a 50shot...

I like pizza...................... and bikes.

Re:turbo bike
 

if the turbo is so small that it cant hold what the wastegate is set at 10psi (engine sucks all the air before the turbine can replace it) it could overspool.

ive heard of this but it falls into the retardmo class of why did you put that turbo on that engine

Re:turbo bike
 

Make sure you get a power commander that has ignition capability. I know a lot of guys that have boosted GSXR1000' and 'Busa's and fuel management is a problem. Most of them go with an extra set of injectors.

Re:turbo bike
 

just squeeze on it...100 shot gets me hot

Re:turbo bike
 

seriously, put it on the bottle. or get a bigger bike, any liter bike will do.

if you boost the 600, you won't be able to keep that front wheel on the ground if your life depended on it.

Re:turbo bike
 

thats what im lookin for.
and as for buying a 1000 its to much $$$ i can boost the bike i have now for 1500-2000$ or i can sell my bike for 5k and spend another 6k to buy a 1000

Re:turbo bike
 

thanx but dosent help much

Re:turbo bike
 

figuring out what turbo to use and even putting it on and even fabbing it up is the easy part.

Its how are you going to control fuel and timing?

Whats your HP goal?

Re:turbo bike
 

as fare as fuel gos i was going to use a safc2 and i havent really put ne thought into the timing.

my hp goal is just a bit more then stock.

ps: jeff do you want to help buld hmts 1st turbo bike? ;D

Re:turbo bike
 

Nah Actually I think Fierogod backed out of that turbo bike plan. He gave me a yell the other day actually and is going to be continuing with the bike soon and doing some pretty sweet stuff to that little Fiero. I'm sure he'll fill in you guy's when the little beast is done. I havn't seen him on HMT much :-\ Wish he'd chill out here more often.
