Welcome to our Hurricane section Dpasch
I had a Kwaka 1000 with an ATP Turbo Pack fitted , for over 35,000 klms
...28 lb boost !! lowered 6.5 to 1 compression ratio ...geared for only 230 klms per hr ... the word quick did not quite explain her adequately... sick chit !! , nearly killed my self a few times on that beast ..
good luck with your jet ....

Big bore and turbo definitely sounds like it could be fun. Or a disaster...
(but mostly fun... lol)
Steve.... you were pushing 28lbs on a Kawa 1000?!
And it went for 35k kilometers?
Wow.... and wow!!
Seems like even with low compression pistons, that thing held up good! (especially with you on it.. )

Yup.. its was my commute too , to some degree ....I lived up in the mountains , with a 70 klm run into pick up my truck for work most clear days ...and some very wet cold days ..
I did not use 28 lbs everywhere , or I would not be here now LOL...
200 klm per hr power roll on wheelies !!! and that's the gods truth ..
$4000.00+ for the engine build to drag bike spec ( by Peter Allen ) and the Turbo Kit , way back in the dark ages ..
I have posted this all up before , but what the heck ...here's a pic ...
Built 2 turbo specific ..engine's identical ..mine and a mates , in my workshop at home ..
BTW ...my mate made it about 4 klms from home and high speed wobbles at near 180klm per hr caused him to wreck his immediately... !! they were bad news !! but fun ..I got used to mine and could do some mad chit on it .....great memories , but not what I suggest anyone try ...
