So I think I want a blower on my Rocket

WELL whats the point of a turbo if you cant use the power in a 270 HP package SO you have to be a real HP JUNKY and be able to ride your ass off
 
Indeed, very true.

IMFASTOO, do you happen to know if the injectors are peak/hold or saturation type on R3? Just looking around to see whats available off the shelf.
 
I have just put about 400kms on a blown rocket for the customer. I have to admit to not really being a fan of the supercharged kits I have seen. Mainly due to tuning issues etc. This one has turned out real well. Engine is all stock apart from heavy clutch and some cams I did to suit the F/A. We went from 217hp to 280 odd with cams and rework of the kit. I have spent a lot of time getting it nice to ride and it IS. I can trickle along at 60km/h in 5th gear, go around roundabouts in 3rd gear at 1350rpm etc just as smooth as butter. OR if I rev it she goes like the space shuttle. So it can be done. A turbo would obviously be different, done plenty on other make bikes but none on a R3 yet. I think as ART alludes to, getting too much low end would be the problem, it would break stuff and be hard to ride. Re doing the cams/package and electronics would fix that, but it is a bunch of $ to put into a daily rider,as against a drag bike.
 
Not sure if you have ever used an Eboost 2, but it lets you control the waste gate per gear via rpm vs tps settings, so you can adjust the onset rate and onset RPM of boost. Can't say I have ever used it on a bike, but I have used it on a car and pushed 400hp/300lbft through stock axles that were known to break at 180hp with na motors. Survived like that for 3 years daily driven.

Might be a viable and fairly easy method to calming low end boost/torque from a turbo bike.
 
WELL the idea is to not break anything keep it simple and user friendly I havnt seen any turbo or supercharged rockets run any spectacular 1/4 mile times yet that mimic real world street confrontations or stoplight shootouts that are so popular with the hot bike crowd
 
BUT is it useable and can you actually race it and win ?
 
Just incase it hasnt already been said " im yet to get a blowie on my Rocket as well ".......................
