Reading an earlier post with suggestions for fitting turbo/supercharger, is it possible to fit one to a carb'd 898cc Blade engine and what can I expect with regards to the cost and the amount of work required.
Very possible, it will be my winter project
Looking to 180+ HP probably cost under £1000 in a locost stylee.
Have a look here..

It's a bit quite but building up steadily
I Met this chap at Stoneleigh for a bit of high tech med cost with water injectin too

Hi Barry, might be worth a call to Ashford Motorsport, their based in poulton close, dover.
The owner has a fireblade bike that he fitted a turbo to a few years ago.

Here's the expensive way:

If you are able to make up the bits then quite cheap, mine suffered clutch slip so had to invest another £400-£500 in a lockup clutch, with HD springs
on factory plates it was marginal.
clutch came from here, I paid for the cad drawings so should be less than I paid

It makes a huge difference to the performance..... well worth the effort, I shuddered at the cost of a decomp plate so only run low boost, 7psi but
this is worth 201bhp on the dyno 
I will see you at Lydden next week so come for a spin around the track.
Regards Mark

Thanks for the replies, how are you Roger, haven't heard from you for a while and I will see you next week Mark. Barry
Again, as per other post, told it would end up i a pile of molten mess LOL . If its a 'mess around; and you've got another engine, go for
it. I,ve got a gas flowed head for a sc28, if you want it FOC

Yes, 25th
Not anymore, cancelled so off to Woodbridge instead now.
i am playin with supercharging thro bike carbs with an st170 engine. Things seem to be going ok. Its just a matter of ensuring you pressurise the
carbs and adjust the fuel pressure according to boost.
