Jdeac Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Hi all. Dont have a turbo bike at present. But am about to start a project and I'm curious if the snail can be hidden behind a fairing. Oil cooled slingy. Looked/looking through projects pages etc. Pics would be a great help. Cheers Quote
Fula28 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 So many years ago now, I managed to squeeze one behind my slabbie turbo fairing. Hardest part is the exhaust elbow angle I had 2.5" elbow and really tight angle and made exhaust same I.d all the way to 63mm outlet can. Its possible but time is needed to mock up pipe bends and tack in place. Obviously airfilter I found piper cross cone 60mm I. D was best placed as was taperd and fitted well. I lost three different makes before I found this out... 7 Quote

clivegto Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Just paint everything black or black ceramic coat. Most people round hear on there modern bikes don't even realise you are on a turbo bike until you go past them on the open road 1 Quote

IhmeJanneFIN Posted August 13, 2023 Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) My contribution to this thread. Turbo placement is not ideal, as the fairings get a bit too hot for my taste, even with the turbo blanket and exhaust wrap. Will have to redo my turbo manifold when changing turbo with new engine, as the current is the biggest possible turbo to be fitted there. Will try someting between the "usual" placement for the turbo and this install to get proper oil drain and exhaust away from the fairings. Edited August 13, 2023 by IhmeJanneFIN 3 Quote
