Ultimate turbo bike build thread - 600cc 91 Katana pwns all
Well, not really.
Bike was free, I agreed to donate a T25 and wiring/tuning if the guy buys a Megasquirt for it.
Anybody know a bit about these bikes? Engine family/interchange with later ITBs is mostly what I'm curious about, although I'm pretty set on building a traditional single plane IM for ease of tuning.

do it anyway, but as cheap as possible. keep the carbs, fiberglass the airbox, and no intercooler. Stick the turbo where the rear cowel is supposed to be so you can run the stock exhaust, and so the turbine wheel faces straight back.
Just be careful not to roast your ***.

I know plenty about that bike. Well at least enough to know it's a shitbbox. 
Boost shouldn't affect it too badly thermally. I've seen ******** run the ---- out of bandits (same engine) with no problems.
Oh, yeah the bandit 750 (?) motor might fit in there as well....
Horizontal draft, center driven cam chain heads suck anus BTW, so don't expect a million HP. And I think I've heard a gixxer engine could fit in there.
