Toro's Supercharger Kit - 159RWHP 5th Gen

Sorry if this is a repost but I was unaware Toro finished his product, he did and here it is:

A&A Performance - '98-'01 VFR800 Supercharger Kit

Now, all I need is a 5th gen and $5,500.

 

What exhaust is that?

What exhaust is that on the orange bike? Looks awesome! Love the paint too.

 

I hate to be the repost police, no offense.

Already been posted by the owner HERE.

Btw, it's a custom reverse cone exhaust he had someone fabricate for him. He's looking into getting a production run if there is enough interest. Check out his post on here or the grandaddy of the entire project over at VFRD HERE.

If I remember correctly he was looking for a paint color called "tangelo" or something that he saw on a Lamborghini...iirc.

 

yeah, yeah....saw that about a minute after I posted this thread. I'm blaming my cold medicine for the brain lock.

 

no worries, just trying to direct all the questions in the right directions

 

His bike looks awesome. Custom orange paint color is fantastic, custom headers look sick, exhaust is sick, and it's freakin supercharged.

'til someone other than him has a supercharged VFR I'm gonna have to hands down say his is the best VFR on the planet right now.

 

I disagree that a bolt on Ohlins shock or Racetech springs would outdo the upgrade he's come up with. Look at the detail: It Is Now Time For Some Serious Modifications... - VFRD

He might have done the suspension upgrades, couldn't hurt to ask?

 

Exactly my point.

No other modification can come even CLOSE to getting 159HP out of a VFR. It's ludicrous. It's got almost as much HP as the first version of the 'busa. A supercharged VFR would be competitive with modern day literbikes. Plus, it's a VFR! I was thinking of buying a K1300S next year, I might divert the funds to a torocharger instead.

 

Hey guys,

In case you were wondering, the paint is House of Kolors Tangelo Pearl. It looks even better in person.

As of right now I have a fully adjustable piggyback Elka shock on the rear and am just waiting for some free time to drop on my fully Kyle-valved RC51 front end setup with radial calipers.

I didn't upgrade the suspension due to the supercharger -- I weigh 215lbs and like to ride hard, thus the stock suspension just wasn't cutting it for me. I am actually not looking forward to losing the linked brakes as this is a tremendous braking system, more than capable of slowing a supercharged ride. Plus, I don't know if you've noticed, but I like to tinker, and the suspension is one area that needed some tinkerin'.


PS - I don't like to quote horsepower numbers as there is far too much variance from bike to bike and dyno to dyno, but the day I recorded those numbers I was actually seeing an uncorrected 167hp at the wheel in the dyno room. That's right around 190 at the crank. Who knows what it pulls on a nice 50degF day...

 

I am ready and put my order in for the first gen 6 kit!! I have a black bird to chase down....

 

We're gonna find out!!
