vizman Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 intercoolers help...as does decent fuel and of course a good set-up...but then so does riding like a big gurls blouse, commuting 140 miles a day 5 days a week on mine resulted in a new back tyre every month. Quote Link to comment

DC98 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Interesting read......I'm planning to turbo my ET so was going to be asking slot of these questions. Does most of the oil cooler info go for the air cooled as well. I was planning on using stock Pistons but will I be needing to uprade to something else sorry to hijack your thread.

Phill106 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Go for it bud. They'll probably be questions I'm yet to ask anyway haha Quote Link to comment
vizman Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'd have preferred a draw through efe lump.....but my over stretched budget got me oil boiler power....mucho' cheaper. Quote Link to comment

Gixer1460 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Oil pressure and modern turbos! Plain bearing turbos will not survive with std GSX 5 - 10psi pressure. Has to be increased and even with 750 gears the 30psi is marginal based on turbo specs. Ideal would be to use a BB cored unit - more expense though! Rajays still work well on draw through installs - harder to find these days but the bearing arrangement suits low aircooled oil pressures! Quote Link to comment
Duckndive Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 what makes the air cooled so much more expensive?It can cost more to do the crank and buy a set of straight cuts ....than it cost to build my 1216 turbo motor................. 1 Quote Link to comment
slingy1157 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 My turbo bike on cast suzuki pistons, 18psi.That looks awesome JR. Any chance you fancy doing a little thread about it, a few more piccys and components used, spec, general experiences learned along the way etc. Would love to here the story behind it:-D Quote Link to comment
DC98 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 It can cost more to do the crank and buy a set of straight cuts ....than it cost to build my 1216 turbo motor.................I take it that some of the internals don't take turbo power to well then. What would the crank need to take the load. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I take it that some of the internals don't take turbo power to well then. What would the crank need to take the load.New bearings, fully welded and straightened - ideally dowelled as well + the straight cut primaries!. Easy way to spend a grand! Quote Link to comment
DC98 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 balls, that'll make a dent in the budget. Quote Link to comment
