turbo / supercharge / possible group buy?

[Trirocket3]

Dude since you plumbing does not support the addition of a inter cooler you should add a alcohol spray and use windshield wiper fluid the 50/50 stuff. Just set it up with a couple pressure switches to stage it.

Be careful which fluid you use some are weak & have crappy soap in them, use coldest temp stuff.
I have a couple of cans of this in garage, & AEM water/methanol injection kit.

Art, I guess I was saying not every one really cares about 1/4 mile times, they just want their bike to go well. Warp,etc If one needs alcohol injection, surely this is not a practical setup for a street bike, maybe coffee shop bike.What about on a trip,? got to stop and fill the sucker up all the time, carry methanol etc. Drags maybe, why not tune the bike better. Or you could buy a couple of grand worth of gauges like TA and crash while looking at them under high boost scenarios, whilst worried about melting the piston...... I just do what Ruzz said, close my eyes. . Nothing persoanl TA, just my twisted sense of humour. Cheers.

No, but as Oldschool mentioned if the fueling is off a little bit you're toast.



I'm the guy. Can't believe that video is up past 14,000 views! And I'd say the only need to go boosted is if you want to match the power of the built n/a engine while keeping the redline the same as stock. Carpenter's higher revving 210+ hp bikes will be faster than my turbo bike in the quarter mile. My 0-150 mph time is quite slow considering Carpenter's race bike that does the 1/4 mile at basically 9 seconds flat at 160mph. I think that bike is more in the 260 to 280 hp range though. I do have gobs of torque down low however which is real fun on the street and is pretty much where we all ride right?

YES the CARPENTER NA bikes are faster and rev higher with a strong rush of intoxicating HP as the Turbos make power at lower revs and all the modded bikes are street bikes

Exactly! Perfect description for choosing force feeding.

Humor understood but just to clarify the failsafe gauge is only $300 USD and you don't have to ever look at it. It protects the engine automatically while your eyes are on the road. The other two gauges were under $300 USD combined. All three look great together on the bike and are just as much for show as for function. Certainly not meant to look at WOT on the street unless on a completely wide open stretch. The failsafe can display boost and AFR at the same time if configured that way and is really the only gauge needed. Very inexpensive and smart protection IMO.

) Yes, good work. I do have an aopology to make, I have a trade customer who does drag race a R3 in Qld, sort of forgot about that one. He is into the nines with only 220hp. Sorry Art, misinformed you..

Was that on forced induction or na with the high compression set you have?

 

[Neville Lush]

One of the numerous "set up's" . Just a street bike engine really. No forced induction. Just BP pump fuel.

GOOD to see some fast Rockets out there
