Re: Turbo Vespa
2 strokes dont have oil passages johnny. the head i sjust a dome with a coolant passage and a sparkplug hole. the jug is just s aleeve with the water jacket/powervalve assembly provided you have one.
the crank has no oil capacity, it draws in the gas in the intake stroke into the crank and the premix lubes the assembly. the tranny is a self comtained unit.
how many quarts will the stock swingarm hold? im curious, sounds like a descent idea provided you dont plan on much serious offroad action.

Re: Turbo Vespa
the snowmobiles im talking about make 250+ horsepower and they use 750cc and up street bike engines. the reason 2 strokes are made low comprression is because it fires every single time the piston comes up and it really only makes power mid to high rpm . a bottom end in a race bike will only stay strong for 35-40 hours before it starts to loose a lot of power then it blows its cookies. so your telling me its worth it to turbo a 2 stroke and have it blow its cookies on 5 psi and you have to do it all over again. i bet a banshee engine would not be able to spool a dinky turbo and with no expansion chamber it would deffenately run shitty and have a very short powerband. if its all that much worth it to you then go for it. a 600cc streetbike engine would most likey outperform the turbo banshee engine and outlast it by 80 times and you could boost it and be faster than you ever need to be.

Re: Turbo Vespa
i beg to differ, a turbo banchee would rape up on a banchee with a 600cc crotch rocket motor stuffed in it.
the banchee has a power stroke every other stroke.
hes running wiseco pistons and im sure a pair of hotrods. hes good to go.
