Ive been offered a turbo kit, for my GIXER 1k streetfighter.
its from a guy that went to the dark side and now drag races A KAWASAKI, $3000, bucks he said for everything and he said he would install it for me, he rekons I wont need to do anything to the motor. what do you guys rekon, this is gonna be a street bike,
Now I know I dont have to have much of a boost, anyone know what I would have to do to the motor to still have a bike that dosnt detonate itself,
:evilred:

If you keep the boost low....no problems....It's when you crank it up that things go POP:evilred:

Yeah..what he said. What kinda setup is it? You shouldn't have to do anything with low boosts, but with higher boost, you'd have to look at lowering compression, installing larger injectors etc. Have a chat with Ethan, or see if you can pin down James at Walt Healy...

from what Ive seen of it it looks like a home made JOB. and he fitted it two the gixer 1000 by removing the oil cooler and using the send and return....sounds a little mickey mouse for the amount of money he wants for it.,

 

[endo]

Yeah it does...who made it Joe, someone local? Is it Dr. Gixxers setup? He was selling his for $3K obo and he had a lot of work in it. Had some stuff made up himself, but it has worked for a couple years and put down good numbers. It's a Velocity Stage 1 kit...he also had the airshifter (which I want!), Yoshimura Stage 1 cams, Yoshimura EMS, and swingarm extensions, all for sale.

so there's no oil cooler now? I think you would DEFINITELY want an oil cooler if you're running a turbo on a stock motor, even if you keep the boost low.

 

[g-style street-fighter]

Yeah, if anything you'd want a larger cooler because the turbo's gonna up temps dramatically. Too often these set ups come from someone who used to drag race, so the cooler and other safe guards weren't necessary. Watch out using these for street driven bikes, though. I can say to re - implement a cooler system wouln't be too hard. It's just that for the price, you may not come out too far ahead, when you consider most decent kits will include matched mapping etc.

I'll just mod my post and say yeah, an oil cooler is a must...short and sweet.

 

[The Green Lantern]

your gettin ripped pff dude,id go back there and shove that turbo up his ass

 

[endo]

How do ya figure? If you're gonna say that, explain why? I modded a couple of my posts because I don't believe he and I are talking about the same person.

 

[The Green Lantern]

i had my turbo done on the r1 for alittle less then that and he told me everything that was happening ,it kinda sounds like hes leaving BRIT in the dark,or it could be that thats just what he told him so far
i dont know,and if he is plannin on yankin the oil cooler then theres a hudge problem.im gunna hold off on aying anything else untill he posts up more information,then i might have to mod my post

 

[endo]

Cool...I wasn't trying to start shit or anything lol, just curious as to the basis of the argument! Do you still have the turbo R1? That's fuckin cool! My buddy Tyven has a turbo busa...and he just ordered more parts for more power!! 260rwhp now, gonna be well over 3.

 

[The Green Lantern]

no that was my 04 r1,i todaled that off but before i did i yanked out the turbo and put in spray (less maintence)

ya a guy that lives a couple blocks from has a zx14r that hes trying to twin turbo
