Just wondering if anyone on the site has turboed there hawk. I was wondering what you came up for in regards to mounting the turbo.

 

I have read a few posts about it. Personally it seems like to big of a pain in the ***. Piping wise, time wise, money wise...etc, etc.

 

Although it would be a good candidate, it's low compression and has good torque to make up for the lag.

I used to own a 1984 Kawasaki GPZ750 turbo, that thing was a blast in a straight line but not the best for carving corners. I needed to get a second grip on the bars so I didn't fall off when the turbo kicked in. First production bike to dip into the tens!

 

want me to save you endless headaches and lots of money?

sell your superhawk and buy a ZX10/GSXR1000/R1/CBR1000/hayabusa/ZX12R/ZX14.

Cause a superhawk turbo is only going to make about as much as they make stock, and will be a huge hassle to do. The reason inlines are great for turbos, is because it is easy to make equal length headers/manifolds for the turbo to feed off of(plus they are fuel injected from the facotry these days).

 

One of my old riding buddies had a buell st something or other. You know the one with a flip up seat. He put a MR Turbo kit on it and it would keep right up with my hawk and gave me all I could handle. Now if it can help a pig like that I'm sure it could do pretty well on the hawk.
