Well, for you real sickos out there, for whom "too much is never enough", here's a dyno sheet from one of the de-stroked (1487 cc), turbo-charged , Rocket III motors that is one of two Carpenter Racing mills powering the Triumph-Castrol Streamliner out at Bonneville.
This particular pull was done at a very low boost setting!
I apologize for resurrecting an old topic, but I must know more about this, and a Google search didn't reveal anything. How exactly was the motor destroked? How much boost was being run? Compression ratio? I have some experience with sporty bike motors, a lot of them you can just pop on a thicker head gasket to drop the CR, and then run 10-12 lbs on pump (premium) gas with a decent intercooler. No major internal modifications required. In fact I put almost 15k miles on a GSXR1000 with just a thicker head gasket and 15 psi. Then my brother wanted to see if it could handle 20 psi.... It could not
If this is possible on the Rocket, I may save the turbo that I was going to put on the BlackBird... I think a 16G winding up around 3500 rpms would suit a Roadster rather nicely.

I told a girl at the bar that I wanted a blower on my bike. She slapped me.

Morris do not rush into things blindly. Take your time as once you go down the HP road it gets addicting. To be honest all three styles of making power sound great and well NA is the safest bet but hey I do not set a good example for sure. I am not sure what compression TTS gives with their kits it could be there is multiple choices. Remember the higher the compression the more chances of detonation. Now as for pipes the CES will probably not work with the SC kit. This is my opinion from looking at the pictures on this site its to close to the unit and the air ducting. You might get away with it with the use of Richards inner-cooler so long as the pipes do not hit the SC body.
And Blaine is right I bet you can drive a turbo with the CES header. There is not much room to hide a inner-cooler but maybe you can do a water to air one where the air box is. That is where the air ducting is on the Boost is good kit. You seen the dyno graphs of the boost is good kit so you can get a idea if that is the kind of spunk you want and more important where you want it. It was also pointed out to you about the power band verses RPM. So you need to figure out am I going to race this thing or just spunk around a bit. Racing and winning will take the rpms + HP IMO the 240HP Carpenter Kit will beat the 240HP TTS kit because of the rpm band. The Carpenter kit will be just in third gear and pulling harder then the TTS kit will be in fourth gear. So ratios/rpm and power will end up at the line first. This is important to make your decision as Carpenter is really the only high rpm game in town. I do not envy you as I have had both and it makes for a hard decision. Supposedly the newer Roadster Transmissions shift smoother then the old style I would like your Honest opinion on both since you now have them. Other then that the ECU's are different and time will tell as to whether its good, bad or indifferent.
On the bright side you will get to know the inside of the engine unless your full of money and can pay someone else to turn wrenches for you. I believe you can definitely do or learn to do it yourself in the long run it will save money. And if not let me know I will take the 09 off your hands as I wanted it anyway but would not bid against a friend
Hi, people ask for advice and then they do exactly the opposite, go for the Carpenter 240 , I've got that ,it Works, pull the throttle at 120 mph in second gear and the rear Wheel starts spinning, think that should be enough for most of you. Top speed , more than 200 mph., Regards, Hans.

Hey Hans long time. I suspect the beast is still running well.
I suspect I am a bit bias here because I have both on one of my Rockets and then the NA on the other. In fact I first started out with the blower kit before the Carpenter stuff was on the market. They all improve there kits as they go I must say I like some of the new changes Richard has made to his blower cover in his kit. Personally the only factor I keep in mind is quality of the fuel you can get as it is important when your running forced air. It suck being out in the country on a trip and you can not find premium fuel. Your either adding boost or riding like a grand ma to stay out of the boost until you find proper fuel. Not a worry with NA motors.
Either way you go it will be fun.

Yeah, sounds about right, maybe a little low, near 90 in first.

If it's no Scottish it's CRAP!
Just came across this while searching through various CL markets:
2005 Triumph Rocket III TURBO-230 HP-Incredible Power-
Anyone on the forum? (or know of the bike?)
Absolutely no affiliation with seller - just thought might be of interest to someone in the market for an FI RockeT
Price is certainly attractive for what it is!
