Anyone ever hear of someone doing a light custom turbo on a 600cc bike? I have a 00' F4 and i dumped it, so now its time for a paint project/all around project... I'm learning how to do everything myself, and if anyone has any advice on doing a light pressure (4lbs) turbo kit on a 600cc bike... the advice would be great... I have someone that is willing to help me (older guy) did some turbo kits on old school choppers with old volvo or saab turbo's... said they ran good... please let me know all your thoughts... its going to be attempted either way, advice is just nice... thanks every, I will post some before after pics of the paint as soon as it gets done... got i hate blind turns with gravel... and guardrails...

 

I used to have a vid of a turbo GSX-R600, so its definately possible. Good luck

 

Thank you for your quick post... never saw the turbo gsxr 6... however, I hope i can pull this off... not really wanting more speed yet, just want to surprise some people...

 

stop putting ... after every sentence, its annoying

and i'm sure it can be done with good amount of fabrication

 

it can be done i've seen it on a F4 and a F1 Hurricane it was fast pushing only about 8psi.... on the F4

 

i have a vid of a turbo gsxr600. comes up every time he gives it throttle. super fast...

 

I have that video of the turbo GSX-R600, it is sounds awesome when the turbo comes on and it comes right up no matter the speed. I can e-mail you the video if you want.

 

http://www.cmperformance.com, there is a turbo f3; little older but carbed nonetheless.

 

thank so much guys, bike is gettin painted beg. of july, and sanding is well, going... haah taking forever but its going.thank again. If you want to email me that vid do it to punkrockbmxr@aol.com thanks so much

 

I have a CBR F4 myself and I saw an article in a motorcycle magazine years ago(Cant remember which, but Im sure I have it around here somewhere) about a Mr. Turbo F4 but I dont think it went into production because I was never able to find anything about it on there site. It had a pic of it and with the bodywork on, it looked just like a stock bike with a slip-on. Im sure if you sent them an email, they'll be familiar with it.

 

yea man i have seen alot of f4's and f4i's with turbo's latley but no one knows where to get the kit from. i have a 2001 f4i my self and i thought if i cant find a kit then i would build one myself. hey i did it for my car and it was a fun learning experience and if i had just bought the kit and had someone put it on then i would not of known half the stuff that i know today so i think i might just build it myself again.

 

too bad its way harder/expensive on a bike than a honda.

 

do a google search on this... there are several options out there for turboing your honda. I looked into it last year, but kinda changed my mind when I saw the power gains that were attainable... the bikes were only able to handle 6-8 psi at the most and were seeing aobut 130-140 whp as a result. I was thinking I'd be able to catch a couple of liter bikes off guard, but after those numbers I wasn't so sure... still an awsome concept though.

 

Just buy a liter bike!

 

i would if i could sell my f4i. my boy will sell me his 2001 gsxr1000 dirt cheap but i cant seem to sell my bike.

well, I've talked to some peopleand everyone says you can't buy a kit, however, a custom "junkyard" turbo kit (Saab/volvo turbo) is totally do-able on low boost (4-8psi.) We will see how it goes this winter, and I will continue posting. Thank you guys so much for the links, and whoever told me to emial Mr.Turbo, I am about to... Thanks again, pictures will come soon.

 

hey project f4 i want to do the same thing this summer so lets keep in contct cause we might be able to help each other out.

 

One more thing; I'm sure you know that Lovefab manifolds for D/B/H-series motors are great, but I'm pretty sure they might able to help you with a custom manifold for your F4...

If you all decide to go the commercial route (as opposed to the junk-yad route) let me know, as I've got a business license as well as a friend who is the parts manager for a big honda/suzuki dealership. He told me once that if I found a company, he'd setup a wholesale account with them and pass on whatever savings he was able to get, to me...

 

well let me see what i can find cause in the past month i have seen 2 turbo 600's on ebay.

 

Why not try sourcing the turbo offa the Honda Watercraft they have out now?

TotalKaos,Psychobike,Motorhead,Dragbike.com will all have some info for ya - ya just gotta look around.

 

Sizing the turbo for the motor is key, watercraft snail might be a good thing to check out.
