i saw some videos of turbo bikes.
I was wondering who here has a turbo'd bike, whered you get it and how much did you pay? How do you like it?

 

Are you seriously considering doing that?

 

no no no no just wondering how they like it, how different is it.

 

well heres a pic i found from a site that fabs up kits ... but either this kit isn't completed or the builder is a dumbass because he put the pipe that should route the intake charge back into the intake/TB's, into the atmosphere lol.

hmm. i guess it would be cool to say "ya i have a turbo RR" ... but i could really care less, hate to see that turbo spool at peak boost in the middle of a corner and have the rear slide out

woops forgot the pic ..

 

that just looks....i dunno......the 1000rr looks much better on that site i posted up

 

I know a couple of guys with turbo busas and one with a turbo 10r. They are almost no fun anymore as the power is so freakin insane you fear fro your life when you twist the wrist. As a drag bike it is a kick *** thing, but on a stock length bike, it's just insane. As far as boosting 600's, I don't see the point as the sudden rush of power negates their entire purpose and corner scalpels. A liter bike will make the same power as a turbo 600 and it will be more usable as it is smooth.

 

here in cali theres so much traffic. you get up to 80 and have to slow down and split lanes... its insane on how much cars their are here...

 

there is a guy on here i think he's "busa 1300" or something, he has a turbo busa with 490 hp at the rear wheel. hes not on very often but he is here...no idea what he paid for install or anything though.

 

I Love white lining and pulling up next to car with a driver on their cell phone and revving the **** out of my RS3 right when im next to their window....serves them right!

Bite your tongue. Turbo bikes are way dangerous, though.

I wasn't trying to be a dick.

 

That setup is an automotive application - would seem problematic (my guess/opinion).

Ya gotta pay to play - $5k-100k - just depends if ya want mild or wild.

Low hp kits (200-250 or so) are quite streetable - just make sure hat yoiur tuner is local and reputable.

those are hot! clever, but it seems like that much plumbing might cause a little lag.

 

If you're ever out at bike nights in Orlando FL, theres a few riders out here who have Turbo Busa's that come out. I think one guy was from TotalKaos or SuperKaos who owns a Busa thats a Light Grey Color. Not sure was crew yet, but I do have a video at home, of the guy mashing out on the highways here in FL. I'll check for you guys.

it's routed in that black plastic.. i never realized it until recently.

 

"slip on" turbo kit - LOL sounds easier to install but looks like crap, hell that looks like the tire will contact either the filter or the compressor housing if you hit a big bump.

 

...and just hope that the oil line doesn't crap out all over the rear tire.

 

yikes - I didn't even think of that! Even some drippage could be dangerous. SKETCHY.
