TURBO SHOVEL HEAD.... Yea a bit different for sure. Draw through IHI RHB5 VF 40. This will also have a remote starter that will hook up to the kick starter. We modified it internally so the starter will just connect and spin. It's a bit more complicated but will work fine and avoid all the creative kicking in order to avoid ankle and knee injury. Why you ask? Cause we can and will and it will be truly functional without damaging the engine. I've debunked the nay sayers before and shall again with simple physics. Ok, not simple but...we'll just make it work right! I'll add more pix as I move along on it.
Also have this little Duesy of a ZRX1100 where hoping to see around 200 or damn close to it with a safe amount of boost on pump gas. It will be a daily driver as well so were not going to crazy. Two 1.5liter cans for water meth, variable oil control for turbo oiling, Garret TD04-15g hybrid design and a plethora of other goodies. Part of the work was adding the front fairing and getting a place to put gauges. This should be a reasonably efficient design set up. Should he not be to throttle happy our tuning will give him a much better MPG for his trips across Tejas.
Yea, so looks like thus far I'm going to be the only one to turbo charge these things. This one is used for touring around the US. The customer wants to have the power to pass and have a bit of liter bike performance while getting the better mileage of the 650. Having the power on tap plus even better mileage than stock, is the goal. Instead of buying another bike, he'll have something unique and fun to drive. I'm working on having a tight "factory" look to this. The pipes will get ceramic coated black (we think) and exhausting gasses will be evacuated through the stock exhaust cans to maintain even more of that stock look. Some of the stuffing will be removed from the cans in order for those gasses to run free. I'll remove 1lb from the stator for extra safety. It will have boost control from 1lb to 6lbs. A modified water injection system of my own design. This is being modified/built for longevity, reliability and mileage. I made approximately 48K miles on my SV650 before breaking a ring landing on the front cylinder piston. I was being greedy with the boost of course and pushing 10-12lbs. More pictures and video when this dude is running or further along.
