Video of my turbo bike running
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etqnNeJOzrs
My girlfriend Jordan did all the video stuff.
The thing I'm screwing around with is the adjustment bolt on the back of the blow off valve. At ~2:30, you can hear it a little. I didn't set the bike up to build boost, just to run some air through it, but the BOV was functioning every throttle blip, just not moving enough air to shriek. I hadn't clamped the plenum down onto the carbs. But the turbo is instantaneous and flows air like I couldn't imagine. Those were all ~3000rpm blips, with the largest at 7000. There won't be any sort of lag when the bike hits the streets. Perfectly sized.
Couple more odds and ends, then get it tuned, and turn the boost up until it clears 200whp. I'm aiming for 225 though.
The exhaust sounds cool and all, but the turbine sound of the turbo is better. The only thing that might top that is the sound the blow off valve will make. If you don't know what a HKS SSQV BOV (Super Sequential Blow Off Valve) sounds like, search on youtube or google. A bike blowing off is pretty sexy.
