Gonna Turbo the Kat

[count_filth's_katana]

My friend found a dude that can turbo almost any bike, he did a job on a '83 Honda, so more than likely he can install one on mine, he'll be able to do it for around 700-900 bucks. I was gonna buy a '08 CBR 1000, but I think I should just stick with what I have now, n put my money into that.

$700-900? Interesting.

If it is a guy somewhere around Phoenix, his parts are JUNK!!! I can NOT stress this enough! Chinese turbos explode & send parts through your motor & destroy EVERYTHING in the motor! Ray.

You are not that far away from me. Does he have a site or contact info?

My frinds says he found out that the turbo dude, does some prety good quality work. He's right here in Espanola NM. Ill let you guys know how it works out once he's done with my bike n I've rode n tested it out for a while.

Oh yea, umm, ill see if he has a site, n if he doesn't, ill check if its fine if I hand out his number or info. Im sure he won't mind if it'll give him some work.

so considering just how hot our bikes get, even from just idling, i presume you've planned out a wonderful cooling solution for your bike?

or at the very least a convenient and fast method of treating the repeated third degree burns you'll be getting on your legs?

forced air produces that much heat?

[Rangerx52]

power to force that air's comin from somewhere.

+1 Also curious about overheating.

Why yes! As a matter of fact I HAVE. The front blinkers are gonna be removed and turned into vents, either for forced air or just air cooling. And im already used to the burns, I've ridden in 5 mph parades.

you'd need to do a fair bit of work to actually convert the marker spots into louvers, especially in regards to redirecting airflow to the appropriate area- you'd basically be forcing air at a 90 degree angle, which is kind of a nono. Even then it would all be moot unless you're moving at a good rate.

Thought about a larger heat exchanger up front? possibly an electric fan up front?
i contemplated an intercooler, but there comes the question of
"what is the ideal temperature range of the bike?"
