R1 turbo kits
hearnia - 7/4/06 at 02:28 PM

Does anyone know anyone else other than holeshot racing that does turbo kits for the R1?

I am tempted to do it myself but am not sure what turbo is best to use?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Its a 1999 engine.

Thanks in advance
Joe

Best advice is to double what you think it will cost because the Holeshot prices tend to end up rather higher than the initial indication would suggest.

I'm not planning on fitting anything until the long summer nights are over anyway, just wanted to start collecting parts and information so I can be ready for any eventuality.

I've found that a T25 or similar size turbo is a good one to use and can source these pretty cheap inside the UK even if I have to recon. one myself.

Has anyone got any experience of turboing a bike engine? Things to look out for with fuelling etc.?

Cheers
Joe
