How hard would it be to install a turbo on my 05 cbr 600rr???
What would i need? How much?

also if there is any webs that i could look at too!!
thanks

 

All i can say is your going to get flamed for this post most likely by others and.... it would be a wiser investment to move to a liter bike and mod it out.

 

No flaming -- this ain't a wienie roast. But it's true that putting a turbo on a 600 is gonna cost more than it's worth power wise. A nice dry shot of nitrous might be an easier project.

 

My suggestion would be to have a good answer ready for when you do get flamed. I don't think you'll find too many people on this forum that have a turbo powered 600. I would agree that a small shot of nitrous would be a cheaper way to go,you just don't get that aweome sound like you do with a turbo.

 

alright so if i trade in my 600rr ,there only goin to give me 8 for it and then i got to spend like a extra 7 to get a 1000!!
i tho that to put a turbo on would be cheeper than that also be faster then a 1000??

or a dry shot of nitrous stiill the way to go??

 

This place wants $2500 and they'll install it. You gotta pay to have it shipped there and back also. boooooost! I'm not recommending these peeps -- never dealt with them. Just giving you an idea of the cost. Oh, they put the turbo all the way in the back under the taillight -- can you say "UGLY" boys and girls?

 

I am not sure about the math here but the upgrade sounds a little pricey. To me, a used liter bike (or busa, zx-12/14) is really the smart way to go. They are fully engineered solutions all the way through the transmission/clutch/brakes, a turbo, or even nitrous is a set of problems waiting to happen. Whether it is from cooling issues, wastegate failures, low bottle pressure, solenoid failures...These things are fine when new if installed correctly, but over time they are problems.

Keep us posted on your choice.

 

Liter bikes are not that much more than a 600, price wise...if you can get 8 for your 600, you can get a 1000 for mid 11 grand. I think putting a turbo on a 600 is a ticking timebomb, your just adding another problem that could go wrong. Everyone loves Honda's due to the fact that they are low maintenance and they barely never brake down, adding a turbo lessens that option.

 

Wow, that is quite possibly the worst turbo installation that i have ever seen. A big turbo sticking out from under the tail just doesn't make much sense to me. I guess maybe a 1krr doesn't have the clearance or room that a busa does in the fairings. At least i hope it's something along those lines. Also seems like a pretty long way for that air to travel. AND it's $2500 for all that, sounds like a bad deal to me. But maybe they will put one on my 600 F4i, oh wait , hell no.

 

Why would i go with a shot of nitrous, when a turbo is a all time power
