ALSO... MY NEW CRAZY IDEA...
I know Copper Isn't the strongest metal, But i want my charge piping and Intake manifold to be made out of Copper.
I wanna braze it all together. They do it for hot water piping in houses... The charge pipes can't get that hot~
PS- my handlebars are 7/8" copper pipe sleeved with 3/4" steel pipe. CLEARCOATED so as to not oxidize.
I like the copper charge pipes and Intake manifold idea, but would the copper and brazing for welding handle boost? (12psi MAX)

Re: Turbo Suzuki Bike project CARBURATOR questions
Just my experience from building a blow thru setup.
As long as the carb's are sealed and you use a boost source to keep the fuel pressure ahead of the boost , you won't have any issues...
track down the regulator from a maserati BI turbo (they still make them for about $50) they had box'd carbs and used a boost source from he factory to keep the pressure ahead of the game.
My carb'd blow through corvair
good thread..My next project after the GRM civic is putting a bike motor into a 56 Isetta I have.. looks like I will turbo it now!

I'm a Migger. (no one ghost edit that!)
Not a very good tigger am i.
I think i'll just braze it. Read up alot on it online, and it's pretty damn strong brazing copper to copper butt weld style. An intake manifold isn't very difficult.
