any one heard of power outputs on turbo applications?
with the cbrkf that is.

what would be involved?

 

Well, first you need a turbo...a small diesel application would work. The turbo needs a pressurized oil supply and a very free flowing return line.

Next you need to plumb the exhaust to it and plumb the intake tract to the intake on the engine. There will just be extensive bent pipe cutting and welding.

From there you need a blow off valve on the intake side for those shifts and you need an adjustable wastegate on the exhaust side to control boost.

You can probably get a single (bigger of course) carb for the fueling. You will need to tune it (install a cheap A/F gauge) and run octane booster.

You can probably do it for under $500 (used turbo, used parts) if you do ALL the work.

 

If you google to [cbr1100xxblack birdturbo kit]there is a blackbird kit. can not find a cbr1000f kit.

 

Installing a "low budget/medium power" turbo installation is no magic task, as WhiteHawk also wrote. To get about 40% extra power you dont even have to do anything to the base engine.
BUT... I would not use carbs for a turbo installation. Why not take a look at fuel injection like MegaSquirt?
The cost will be a little higher, but still a lot cheaper then the very expensive turbo kits that is sold to other bikes.
Also there are some ignition "timers" that should be used to alter the ingnition during pressure.

 

Before you up the power to much on a cbr i think you should up the brakes. 230kg+ rider takes a lot to stop

 

But geez it would be fun to build a Turbo CBR as a sleeper that looks normal but blasts anything away.

 

I must agree with that statement! I like the blasting away part!!

Can it be done ?

 

Any think can be done if you look in to it but you need the right turbo to start with.

 

there was a guy in canada i think....
that would do it. or so said some one on post wayyyyy back in the blasted past

lol yea kinda want the flying couch sleeper

could you make your intake tube from the turbo possibly go through the gas tank with some ......no thats not a good idea....those things get hot never mind

 

they have 110+ octain out here on the peninsula...you just need to know where to get it
