This is old, and some of you may have seen this already. I was reading the forums and someone said something about some swiss guys that built a VFR with twin turbos. So, I did a search for some information, and came up with this artical. I thought some of you, who have not seen it, might like to read it. I also thought it might be fun to see what people would say and play around with the turbo idea. Here is the link of the artical: http://www.emagick.com/bornhall/turbovfr
That layout design would seem to generate a lot of heat for the rider especially near the family jewels. That might extend the riding season in Sweden but OUCH!!!!
Well, what are you waiting for John? Point that purty VFR in their direction, get a test ride, and report back with the details of 120kph power wheelies!!! :smile:
Woud've been simpler to use a small supercharger. No lag either. There's been some talk in the bike mags about using them on future bikes. Instead of using all these exotic technologies to wring massive HP out of naturally aspirated engines, they could just slap on a charger and get the same results.
There was a write up on VFRD where I dude took on the project of adding a super charger, last I saw he had the charger and drive done. Been thinking how much work would go into this. Just so Happens my son is into the turbo scene. with JDM imports of all kinds. I've seen some 1600cc inline4s putting down nearly 500hp to the ground with out much trouble. trick with the VFR is where all the plumbing should go. I can see why the tank space was used up, very interesting. Man would that surprise those on a Hybusas huh?
