The Kustom Work, or actual the "Kustom Shop" is where I've been able to restore classics back to their original "state of being" or modify the crap out of something, just cause "cool" was the attempt, or to "go faster" was the need. I've been in the auto work and mod since 1994 by Publishing "Rod n'Racing Magazine" and then up till 09 publishing "the Southwest Motor Enthusiast News". I work now making more efficient use of natural and man made resources and... learning as much as I can!

06 Vstrom 650 TURBO
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.

Are you using a microsquirt on the Vstrom? I have a first gen SV650 I would like to install throttle bodies and a microsquirt. Do you sell the microsquirt with a starter map to get the bike running? Thanks
Not sure if you got my email so I'm posting what I sent you: Hi Donald,
The vstrom is just running stock computer with fuel regulator and pump for inrichment. It runs speed density which makes it a bit easier and at 6psig it wont over saturate the injectors. I do however like and use micro squirt at an after market programing system and have one on my other bike. The maps I have wouldnt help you but I could probably give you starting parameters if your running naturally aspirated as apposed to compressing. But for optimal tuning, yes a micro squirt is a good way to go. Hope that helped you some. :)
