Default Buying First Dirt Bike. Want To Turbo. Which Bike? Turbo Info PLZ!


So Im getting bored with my current projects. A 88 Honda Crx that I just finished with a big forged motor, big turbo. Lots of fun. And my n/a 225whp civic.

My friends are into the dirt sports, 2 4-wheelers (700 raptor, KFX700) and my other friend has an 05 CR125

I wanna jump into the mix this season and start riding a bike I think.

Im 20 years old. I like to go fast, I like to have fun. Not into lollydaggin arond, we rip trails and rail beds and such, lots of flats and no dunes or sand or extreme heat or anything of the sort.

Im looking to spend as little as possible on the bike itself actually. Im a student and saving money is a descent priority.

The end result will be to make a semi-reliable (would like to go away for a weekend without breaking down, 3-5 hours of driving) dont mind doing regular maintenance or rebuilds and such though.

The main thing I want a bike for though is for a project. I want to turbo this bike. Because Im known for loving turbos and its just different I guess.

I would love any information anyone has on which bike and type to get. Sounds like a 250 4 storke or something might be a great start. But I dont know much about boosting a bike. What it takes. Where you get oil from and to, where you get your fuel from and how it accomodates for the positive pressure. And if the bike can even handle possitive pressure.

If anyone can give me any info, pictures or advise Id love it.

I searched but found pretty much nothing on turboing a relatively cheap bke

Thanks guys

You don't need a turbo if its a trail bike. You'll actually go faster investing in a steering stabilizer instead of a turbo.

waiting for a turbo to spool riding trials would be crappy.

if you really want to do it, find a bike with a oil pump/cooler, and you'll probably have to have a fairly large bike 400+cc to even spool a turbo you could find for relatively cheap, if you want to keep it cheap would have to draw through the carb, who knows if you can fab it up to keep the stock cables, etc... you'll need to make a intake manifold for it, or some wierd intake boot.
