Turbo On Carbed Bike Engine
scootz - 8/4/09 at 06:58 PM

What would be required to install a turbo on a bike- engine with flat slides?

I'm thinking:

Intake pipe and filter
Turbo (obviously)
Header / turbo flange
Link pipe to plenum
BOV
Exhaust pipe

Anything else?

Some more Q's...

Is an intercooler essential for a low boost turbo?
Where about should the BOV be situated?

Cheers!

higher pressure fuel pump, rising rate fuel pressure valve thingy, off boost 3psi fuel pressure, 12 psi boost 15psi fuel pressure required.

Something off an old renault 5 turbo maybe.

You'd need a box around your carbs too I think, something to equalize the pressure to the floats, unless they're already 'pressure proof' carbs.
I could be wrong, tis what my old blade had to have though

Ooh, and a sandwich plate with an oil takeoff from the filter - for the turbo feed.
