alcoholbanshee Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 I'm guessing Whitey will blow a lot of motors also during the development stage......if he does'nt he certainly is'nt pushing the motor. I race with a guy with a turbo 350 with nitrous. Very reliable motor when you consider 160+ horsepower. He breaks more second gears than anything! The only advantabe I can see for the fuel injection will be much better throttle response which in turn will spool the turbo faster!!! That is also the only problem I have seen with the turbos I have seen. They are turds out of the hole, but the top end charge is awesome. Quote

dajogejr Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 Bout time you got this thing going... I remember all the posts on this some time back. Get some friggin chrome on her for Pete's sake. Seriously...this is a cool looking project. I'd love to see/hear it when it's done! Keep it up! Quote
locogato11283 Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 i wanna see it run. but without some aftermarket pipes your performance is gonna be a little on the downside... Quote
BigRed350x Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 I have a few streetbike motors that I picked up here in town. The problem is that I don't have any good frames to put them in. I'd like to build one just to ride down at walden on the hills. I have a yamaha FZ600 motor, and an R1 motor. Both run, have all the eletronics, fuel system, etc. I just can't afford a good frame right now. I thought about tearing apart my 450 and stuffing the R1 in there, but then I realized I would probably die. I think I will probably end up having to buy a Craptor like loco did and put it in there. Only problem with that is that I am nowhere near as good as him at modding stuff and getting it to work. It will probably turn into a huge disaster and I will get mad. I also have a turbo off an old (early 90's) subaru. Haven't figure out what I am going to do with it yet, but I have one! Anyone interested in a turbo? lol Quote
alcoholbanshee Posted September 11, 2005 Report Posted September 11, 2005 I always here this when people first see what I'm doing and I always ask them why its going to blow up and they never have a good answer. Boost doesn't blow up motors, people blow up motors. You are absolutely right.......I guess sometimes I assume everybody is in my world. I drag race quads, and if your not breakin shit you're not trying. We run on such a ragged edge that you break parts.....there is no way around it. I still bet you will go thru some parts. For instance do you have your cases o-ringed? If not you will suck tranny fluid and/or air and you will grenade your motor! Unless you keep it below 6-7 psi of boost. But what sense would that make....as you could make that kind of power with a set of good ported stock cylinders or out of the box cubs!!!!! I don't know maybe i'm just a know nothing mother f@#$er with nothing better to do than hang out on the computer all day and keyboard surf. I guess thats your call. Quote
