Swirl Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Ive seen a used turbo kit for sale,the kit consist of.... Garret Gt15 turbo custom made airbox with air pipe to turbo x2 actuators oil feed line x4 airbox rubbers screamer pipe it is listed as for a 600 bandit, question is what else would I need to fit to b12 lump,would it be big enough for a b12, or would it be better suited to a slingy 750 lump, I presume it'll need a manifold building anything else needed, the price is £350 for the above list of bits, is that a good price, be gentle i'm a turbo novice.

clivegto Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 I would not consider myself an expert on turbo bikes even though I have one, but that looks a little small for a B12 lump. Also going to need fuel regulator scavenge pump boost gauge among other bits n pieces. Quote
Arttu Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 GT15 is definitely too small for a B12. How that thing is supposed to attach on exhaust? On stock headers I guess? That doesn't look like optimal solution. Long exhaust before the turbo will slow down spooling and reduce efficiency. Is there any evidence the kit has been actually working? I'm wondering that since there isn't any mention about pitot tube and I can't notice one in the photo. And that is pretty essential in blow through systems. Like Clive mentioned there are fuel system parts missing, fuel pump and pressure regulator. Scavenge pump isn't necessary if the turbo is located above oil level. Quote
Swirl Posted February 16, 2016 Author Posted February 16, 2016 Cheers Arttu, I'll give it miss, a lot more learning to be done, its a route I would like to go down for the slingshot fighter Quote
