A little turbo help

[tylermts]

A frind of mine pointed me to these fourms for help.

I have a 2003 r1, 1000cc bike and im looking to build a turbo setup from scratch. Im not new to boosting but new to turbos.

Im looking for a small turbo that would spool fast for a bike. Im only looking to run 5-9psi. Any help to get me pointed in the right dirction would be great.

crazier than a **** house rat

i respect the size of your balls

maybe better trying a bike forum though. plenty of turbo bikes about.

I would say the little Garrett GT1548 ,this will do up to 200 hp,
is that scarey enough for you . :mischeif:

You can use the small Mitsubishi turbos on diesels and small jap cars

Turbo charging super bikes is quite big in the states, I've seen R1's running GT30's and about 400bhp, check out youtube for some inspiration. What ever you go for it's going to be mental.

I have a blackbird turbo...... quite fun....

I would sugest you join a more specialised forum, maybe... http://200mph.net/

Also, you would get help from the likes of bigcc racing - avoid holeshot like the plague....

Have fun

Also, if I had my time again, I would be supercharging my bike, not turbo....

Hi Matt

Oops, I gave you the link to Holeshot too LHD, whats your experience with Holeshot then??

LHD, whats your experience with Holeshot then??

I have A LOT of experience with Holeshot.... all of it bad...

They are incredibly unhelpful above all, even if you spend a lot of money with them... simply avoid them.....

what are some company who make super chargers for bikes.

I was going to go turbo because I can build most the kit myself. small turbos are cheap on ebay.
