anyone know anyone who has a turbo of a VW???


need a smaller turbo to build something on my TL1000R.. been thinking and chatting with Tom today, and he wants to try to tune it if we can find some program to tune with, then I have to build the piping...

woot woot

 

You want to but a turbo on a bike?

 

yep.. whether I ever will is another thing... but hey.. cars can be fast but a fast bike thats even more insane.. YES PLEASE...

 

I can talk to a guy I work with. He has a K03 Sport out of his jetta.

 

well if my dad grows balls and goes with k04s on the s4 I'll let you know but that probably won't happen for a while.

 

trying to make up for the lack of high end with the v-twin AWESOME!

 

i wasn't going to go there.

 

If you can find a RHE/RHI series IHI turbo those work well on bikes, but cost more than k04/k04 sports off of vws. You can find the k series turbos in any 1.8t car, golf gti, beetle turbo etc.

I see them o cheap on ebay a lot.

 

*wondering how the hell I'm going to hold onto the laptop while on the back of a turboed bike*

lol.

 

they make these crazy things called bike dynos

 

I would cruise mnaudi.com tons of guys sell their tiny k03s. Do you plan on making some sort of a custom manifold/exhaust setup for the tl?

 

when you are done with this let me know, I've been toying with putting a k03 sport on my scooter too.

 

bike dyno?

 

I can't imagine how you'd route exhaust plumbing to do that on a V-twin. Where would you mount the turbo? You'd probably be better off getting cams and good P&P work if you want more top end. If you want a turbo bike you'd be better off doing it with an inline engine. Then buy an airport to drive it on.

 

just thinking.. hey I work with exhaust, I plan on buying a pull bender (so tighter bends will be ok)... doubt whether this will ever happen, but i am definitely thinking...

top end.. what you call top end??


at 145mph in 4th/5th (cant remember) the thing was pulling me off the back of the bike and I had lots to go... not sure how much more top end you guys want...

as opposed to what?? it may not rev like your inlines, but it has more pull then a 15yr old boy the night of his prom!!!

 

nate- have you thought about just running a small, drawn out shot of nitrous?

 

Or a big one, not sure what exactly you're going for.

 

neither am I... am daydreaming.. its one of those.. I wanna own a turbo bike once in my life.. then maybe build a gixxer cart with a turbo...

 

yes, please build the turbo gixxer cart.

 

I have one at my Dads in the mother land with a YZ80 engine.. never finished it.. got to get it shipped over

 

gixxxer carts are too heavy. 2-smoke FTW.

 

Yes, put a CR500 motor in and do wheelies in your gokart.

 

250r would be plenty, lol

 

the small power band in which you actually have low end torque.
