In the not too distant future I will be buying one of the following cars...

MK Midi
Mk Indy

My choice would be the Midi as I like the weight over the back.

The demonstrator has the ZX12 engine, reasonably easy to get hold of and slightly lower price compared to a hayabusa .

However I want to turbocharge it, and most of the "kits" on the market are for the Busa.

Anyone here done a ZX12?, Or can I be pointed at some threads please with home grown turbo installations on bike engines.

thanks

Holeshot can do you upto a 300ish bhp turbo kit for the ZX12. TBH though I'd drive it first if I were you, it'll be plenty fast enough for most.

^^^^ wot he said.

You'll have enough go for track and road without a turbo.
Plus... more reliability.


I went for the R1 and love it

Will look at Holeshot thanks...

it would be worth while sending imp paul a u2u as im sure he has just done a turbo zx12
after speaking to him in the past he definately knows his stuff and the right places to source information
HTH

I was swayed toward the more torquier ZX & Busa engine, I could do with a drive of a few different types before I commit.

R1 prices are also easier on the pocket.

I am still reading as much as I can on the subject, definately want bike engine (noisy & light).

Location added, any takers ?

I went out in the Midi demonstrator on friday afternoon, get over to maltby and have a go, it's insanely quick as it is, think it would scare me to death with a turbo on !!

Come along to the NE7ER's monthly meeting at the Church Mouse in Chester-le-Street.

We meet there about 7pm onwards on the last Wednesday of the month, so this month it will be next week on the 29th.

If the weather is good we usually have a dozen or so cars there.

Not much in the way of BEC's though, usually just me and very occasionally a ZX9R powered car.

Personally I'd be starting off with the ZX12, and getting it road legal, then upgrading to a turbo.

Hope you go for the Midi, as when I saw it at Stoneleigh it looked really nice.

Cheers

Mike

Im travelling to Stourport monday to collect a rollcage for my Niva...

All being well I intend dropping in on MK on the return leg for a look at the Midi.

Paul the links are spot on, zx zones toys are extensive.
