I think ACS bikes look dead hard with a turbo fitted,

I'm with ya Dixiedog, i'm nearly there, getting tempted to bolt my turbo kit to my trick EFE

and just run 5 or 6 PSI so I can sample it

Go for it! I shall watch how it goes? I need to have a turbo carbon sealed for draw thru and i should be able to cobble something together? Are you using a fuel pump? Any chance you can show us a detailed look at what you kit consists of,so we can all "ohh and arrhh". And copy. :lol:

Ive just found a draw thru plenum id forgotten about in the "rubbish" in my workshop,buy its for an oil cooled 1100. Maybe I should experiment on one of those before tackling a proper bike??

Im a member,if thats the right term on the turbo bike group on facebook,but even though a lot of people are running turbo's,they arent very forthcoming with info at times. I realise that if your lucky enough to have done a few turbo's and your in business,you might not want to give your secrets away,and i respect that,but a few simple things such as can you recommend what wastegate/bov etc surely wouldnt hurt.

So to repeat what ive got,a bag of stainless steel premade bends,a welder,3 turbo's (mitsi volvo TD04,Audi/vw KKK and a garrett),for the efe,a one off alloy inlet plenum (FastByMe) and an ex big cc racing mikuni hsr turbo carb (ex kat1500 turbo). I need to add an oil feed to the turbo,and an oil return back,possibly an aftermarket wastegate and a bov. Does that sound about right???

The bike will only be a streetbike,not a drag bike.

Im not sure of what i think of blow thru's on aircooled stuff. Too modern?

Is this the one from the top of the page?

This would have looked great with the proper engine fitted,cheeky b***ard fitting an engine like that one,should be hung from their balls. :lol:

I definately aint a expert with turbo bikes bud. But love them hugely blow thru is obviously the better way to go. But not for me. I love draw thru on old acs. Im determined to build my motor right. Starting with a very good bottom end. then working my way up ;-)

. I will post some pics of what i have tomorrow when i take some. Gonna save for a hsr42. Would like stainless headers but can use what i have for now
