Phill106 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Is a ihi vf17 too small for a 1216 gsxr set up? Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Google doesn't have much info on that unit but it seems that it may be a derivative of the RBH5 unit which was considered suitable 'back in the day' for 1100 size engines, so should be ok for a sub 1 bar boost set up. Better be very cheap as spares may not be common! Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Gotta be worth a punt then as long as it ain't Fubar'd Quote Link to comment
Phill106 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Went and had a look at it tonight and I don't like the amount of "Normal" play in the shaft. I instead took a punt on a oil cooled td04 unit. happy days Quote Link to comment
Reinhoud Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) Depends what you want. I think it's about as big as the turbo I had on my bike, TD05 (Lancer EVO III), 1245cc, it started spooling up at 5000rpm, and started really kicking in at 5500rpm. When you were riding it at normal speeds the turbo wouldn't really kick in, but when you hit the 5500 line... Edited May 28, 2016 by Reinhoud Quote Link to comment
