I am looking to fit either a turbo, supercharger or fit nitrous to my carb'd R1 motor & would like some advice on the pro's & cons of each in a bec?

Budget around 3-4k but would be nice to spend less

I have been looking at holeshot turbo kits & tts supercharger kits, but wondering if there is maybe a locost alternative?

Any help & advice would be much appreciated

Thanks,
Lee.

hi mate il tell you what its easy with your engine,im turboing a pinto on zx9r carbs,

how can you run carbs on a boosted engine, surely you need an efi system, ecu, injection, tb's etc. as well as an array of sensors, boost, inlet air temp, lambda, tps, map etc etc

no no my man,vac bike carbs=turbo d

1-build a air tight chanber for the carbs to suck thrugh 2 outlets from the chamber to the 2 inlets for the vac on the carbs"that preurerises above the diafram,than the big charge inlet you have a 10mm pipe across it with a pilot hole in it,these 2 outlets go to the fuel breathers on the carbs ,this presurerises the floot boles

im crap at spelling

jamie


mate all your gona need is

a carbed turbo fuel presher regulater from burtons
a turbo t25 or t3 i think the t3 might be to big
maniflud
air tight chamber
inj fuel pump

oil pump

i carnt think of anything else,theres bound to be somthing i missed

Supercharged R1 will not produce as much HP as a Turbo.However the driving experience is very different.If it is for the road use it may not matter but if you intend competing the charateristics of the power delivery are vital.Mine produced just over 200bhp at the rear wheels and feels like a larger engined car to drive.It is frightening on the road as the car weighs just over 400kgs.Very reliable over 1k miles and apart from the supercharger cost(Rotrex) the rest is straight forward.U2u if you need more information.

Nearly all the info you will need to turbo an carded R1 can be found here www.turbo-bike.net

This is the site i used the info from to build mine from, two years on and still going strong

thats the site,
well done mate

Do both, turbo and nitrous

I likes your thinking

Do all three !!!

Is that even possible?

It's not impossible, but how feasible it is on an R1 in a BEC is the real question!

It's been done for years...
TURBO & SUPERCHARGING

If you would rather not do the work yourself then give this guy a call:

His name is Malc, number is:

and he knows his bananas (to be fair he knows a lot about turboing bike engines too!) Oh and he's a spot on guy who calls a Spade, a Spade and is a nice fella on top!

turbo well set up say 300bhp

+noz well i dont know much about it but lets add 100bhp=400bhp

400bhp+bec400kg=800bhp per tone,i think.
the word undriveable comes to mind!

i think you should just stick to a good turbo set up,spend 1/4 of your budget and save the noz for the drag strip!

you might need a cupple bags of sand over the back though!!

good luck

to true,forge pistons are cheap for a bike,still it ant gona be much to get it,to that spec

speek to a bike engine builder,


[Edited on 5/5/09 by jpindy3]

is it,i thort i saw some bike forged piston on ebay,thay were deffently cast then

crist thats a klot of money!!!!!!!!

get a pinto,

?what is your project???

the inj will be alot easyer to set up,and do you think the inj engine might be a bit stronger like it is in cars???

[Edited on 5/5/09 by jpindy3]

thats the sane problem i have with using inj,
im just gona start using my zx9r carbs as that link you gave me shows that it not hard to preshure the carbs,and there for cheaper than getting a ecu.
when i have finished this project,then im gona go to a megasqurt,and bike tbs,and a stronger bottom end,then some big boost,
i have nerley got all the bits i need now,im gona use a decomp plate,witch i got in the post today.
i had a result getting,a 4x4intercooler,boost gauge,and a silly dump valve,all for 60quid.
so the turbo dream gos on,
not far now
