before I get chewed on for being a newb, I have turboed a few cars, 4 out of 5 faster than any superhawk on this site
I am a also nitrous express dealer and installer, so im no nitrous newb either
some of you turbo naysayers and even nitrous naysayers should do some more reading before you bash this guy
yes a 60-1 is a HUGE turbo for a 1000cc, so yeah i see some bs on that, its good size turbo to make 500hp on a 302 v8, the turbo in the pics doesnt look like a 60-1, looks smaller, maybe its the angle?
BUT
putting a turbo on a bike is not that hard, the carbs take a little time to get right but its not bad, a couple jet changes and adjustments and your good
You do not need a fuel pump to run the carbs, you pressurize the carb bowl and the tank via the pilot tube method
Yes 7psi of fuel pressure for nitrous is correct enough, its a carb style kit from a car, or maybe a custom kit for a bike, but that is correct pressure for what he "could" be running
flame away lol

well for i4's fi motors it should be pretty easy. v-twins are a pita because of the placement of the turbo because if it's placed in front of the front cylinder the exhaust manifold will have different lengths. Also making a box around the carbs poses a problem due to room as well as needing proper jetting to support the increase of fuel required. Also how on earth would you get by without a fuel pump of some sort? pushing any type of power you'd most definetely need it. basically it's going to have to be a completely custom system and as anyone who's done any type of work things never work right the first time around. cars are simple because it's easier to get the manifold right as well as the fact you typically already have an intake manifold. except for carb'd cars of course. you have lots more room and already have a fuel pump as well

All of your points are valid but can be overcome, and of course it would be custom and you'd have to work at it. But don't you have to do that with any mod? I never said it would be a cake walk, just possible and remeber I was the first one to ask for video. :wink:

ah back to this thread
putting a turbo on a car and a bike are not that different, i didnt say all my turbo knowledge was with fuel inejction, people with cars use carbs and turbos too
you do not need to make a box around the carb, it is fine without it, you put a pilot tube setup together and its fine
different length headers, not that bigg of a deal, loop the front header down and up to the turbo to gain a little length and forget about it, just dont put some crazy bends coming form the rear cylinder
you get by without a fuel pump by pressurizing the fuel tank and the carb bowl, put everything at manifold pressure and it flows like it's at atmosphere
and your correct it wont run perfect the first time, I never said the guy wasnt full of **** but it is much easier than you think to put a turbo on a bike, if 15/43 gearing and timing advance cant settle my need for power i might put a turbo on my hawk
