Following with interest. I have an emerald ecu knocking around somewhere and keep getting tempted to turbo my zxr. Ime the 2 hardest bits are finding someone willing to do small bits of fab on the cheap and jetting the carbs. If someone can weld/knows a friendly welder and is going the FI route then it's fairly straight forward.

If someone fancies giving it a go wants to learn more the best 2 books bar none are these

The guy on the superhawk forum has converted his to FI, nice plenum chamber with an injector per pot so no secondary.
Need me a TIG welder haha.

As long as the turbo seals are good and the crank case is vented well it will work ok. Not ideal obviously but sometimes you've got to work with the space you've got.

Just wondering why there are not many Turbocharged bikes??
Is it because of the change of handling characteristics or increase in torque ???any way there must be a reason.Good luck with your project m8

You could try a supercharger, less engineering

For a good supercharger build, have a look for the VFR800 project, wicked read it is.

[warped one]

Been talking to the old man, and he said he'll ask one of the lads at work next week about the chamber.

IIRC there is one lad there that races at Santa Pod, and makes pretty much everything himself.

ill weld the shaft into the bush, when i get some stainless tig rods.

https://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad233/chris-bracey/turbo/IMG_3315Medium.jpg



then weld the penny to the housing, im gonna go the scrappy and pick up an old turbo to practice on, to make sure it doesn't just crack or something.

https://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad233/chris-bracey/turbo/IMG_3316Medium.jpg


thats it for today, still waiting on the guy about the headers.

any ideas / suggestions for welding stainless to cast welcome.

Exactly what I did mate

Works a treat, and its minimal work! Although I think we actually took the rod off the penny, so there was room to weld the penny in to place, then cut the rod down, and welded it in separately. I asked my friend where it was so I could take a picture for you, but he said he thinks he threw it away, which is a bit of an arse! At first we just locked the penny down with some wire, but it bent open, not suprising with 28psi running through it!

Also mate, I have a gasket exactly the same bolt pattern as that, with some locking washers and bolts if you would like it for free?
