So who's owned one or has ridden one then?

 

Fookin Lunatic foreigners



























How are you Stef? Long time pal.. too long!!

 

I'm fine mate! And you? I'm waiting for parts for my supermoto, enginebuilder doesn't seem to be in any particular hurry...

I used to have an RG500 wich has THE MOST mental powerdelivery and I'm thinking a turbocharged bike must feel sorta similar only quicker

 

Theres a place called Big CC (in Wokingham, Berkshire) that run a turbo'd bike usually at the pod ...goes like stink

I've just recently got a Fireblade with a shot of nos but the thing scares the shit out of me

 

There was a bike built in Germany that actually used a YB head for its engine

Kawasaki did a turbocharged GPZ 750 in the 80,s

I used to have an RD500 and a mate has a collction of RG500,s RD500,s and NS400,s proper nutter 2 strokes when the power band kicks in - cannot imagine how much of a boot this would give if you had the turbo kicking in lower down the rev range as well

 

There's an XT600 in England that's supercharged as well, very neat install! Just can't remember who built it...

 

Theres a lad on here building one.. check the projects forum, its pretty damned impressive

 

Heres the details for them if you want to contact them:

Big CC Racing Ltd, The Speed Shop, Fishponds Rd, Wokingham, Berkshire RG41 2QL
Tel: 0118 977 6744 Classification: Motorcycle Repairs & Service

I cant remember the guys name but hes friendly enough as I've spoken to him lots of times @ Santa Pod ...

 

I think Russel savory built it (RS performance) he's the guy that did all the evo fireblades...

have a read on that

 

NICE ONE!

I was thinking of something other than a 4-pot though...thing is it's been done to death on gixer's and so on but what about a single pot....

 

there is a nice long gixer being built at the mo in a friends garage - had a large bore kit and nos last year , now has an even bigger bore, nitrous and a super charger all mapped on P8PRO

 

there was a guy that used to get on the forums (ford ones but not 100% if he was on here) called himself 'Schaeffer' or similar
he had a hyabusa turbo. i saw pics of it and it was meeental!
lengthened swingarm the lot,
said
'things can go blurrey with acceleration at whatever speed you are at'

quite worrying really! lol

 

Sean is the guy at bigg cc. Built many turbo bikes. The current project, called project pisstake is a Haybusa turbo 1500cc, ape block, mental cams, nos the lot putting out around 450bhp at the back wheel.
I have got an 1100 katana which will be turboed when i finsh off some other project bikes of mine first.

 

Big CCs Busa





Kwak 10

 

I've ridden a Kawasaki GPZ750 turbo & a Suzuki XN

Both shonky pieces of crap

http://www.holeshotracing.co.uk/index.asp

A 550bhp Haybusa sounds like fun tho, especially for 7k ride in/ride out

 

BigCCs Turbo project has 540HP

In the states theyre now seeing 650 from them

A friend owns a 320HP Busa and let me ride it

Genuinely thought I would flip it as he didnt lengthen the swing arm

The bike power wheelies in top at 175 which he didnt bother to mention

I keep trying to buy it off him but hes having none of it even though in the last year and a half hes done 32 miles

Id like to turbo the Blade but Im wondering whatll happen mid corner when the boost cuts in and Im hanging of the side of the bike

I forsee 3 things :

1, a low side as it just spins up
2, a high side as it just spins up ............... re-grips and fooks me off into a hedge
3, it spins up , re-grips and I do a fancy moto-gp power slide ....... then I realize that was just luck and the bike WILL at some point try and kill me



Yeah its being done at Holeshot racing in the Winter

 

The trick is to get a small and very repsonsive turbo I think: don't know if you're familiar with the old RG500's but it's a bit like this:


.................................................. .................................................. ............3000RPM............................... .................................................. .....5000RPM...................................... ..............................7000RPM............. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................9000RPM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG GGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fook all happens untill it hit's it's powerband and then it just fook's off so violently you'd think the world's gonna end....~GREAT FUN!

 

them busa just look so damm ugly though

 

Ill admit that they arent as handsome as your goodself but for a 200mph bike then aerodynamics must proceed over looks

 

such a nice reply for you deano

and there was me gonna come back with " i surpose you would look cool on one "

 

Once the bitch always the bitch eh Pops

 

 

I would have though a bigger turbo that spions up more progressively would be better?

A small turbo which is very punch could catch you out easier..

 

Now for the sake of our english viewers can we have that again please

 

The power with a reasonably small turbo is very progressive and does not get twitchy mid corner, it still depends on how far you open the throttle as to how much power you get. Mine on a cold day when the carburation was better would make boost from 4000 to 11000 revs giving 7000rpm of boost to play with The small turbo does restrict top end power, but there is a limit to what you can realistcally use on a road bike. 200bhp at the wheel feels fast enough for me.

EFI here we come

 

With a small turbo you know what's gonna happen and when it's gonna happen: big torque mid-corner isn't a bad thing as long as you know it's coming so it doesn't catch you out...

 

what type of coffin do u want then?

deano i take my hat off to u..u are a real man

 

ffs dont tell him that

anyway he was crying like a little girl when i put my back wheels in last night

I wouldnt exactly call myself a real man , just a few waves short of an ocean

 

once a sailor always a sailor is deano's moto

 

fook the coffin ..they'll just scoop u up

 

Your a touch optimistic arent ya ? they may not find enough to scoop

Now tweezers on the other hand in which case , sling me in a matchbox
