Turbo's

[notsure]

I just uploaded a photo to my pix to see if anyone knows who makes this turbo?

That guy put together his own kit if I remember correctly. Aerocharger makes a kit for the xb's which was supposed to be the supplier when Buell was to make the Diablo bikes.

The picture isn't super easy to zoom in on, but...

Looks a lot like this T-25 I've got sitting here next to my bike.

It's a small car turbo, probably from a mitsubishi.

Your mileage may vary.

:EDIT:
Just a note;
Mitsubishi made a smaller turbo for the 3000GT. I think it was a TD-14 if I'm not mistaken. In it's natural state it was responsible for 1.5 liters of displacement. That might not be a bad place to start.

That guy is a senior member on Badweb. Forgot his screen name but he has had the set up for a few years and he did it himself. beautiful bike and the guy knows it.....

Hi notsure,

Here are some videos of that bike I've found in the Youtube. It I-I-I-S badass for sure. Loks and sound killer. Especially that whistling turbocharger.

Thanks Johny! I knew it was Eric something but I couldnt remember. He used to be on Buelletinboard all the time but havent seen much of him lately.

I love turbos as much as the next guy and even thought about putting one on my next bike. But when we red line at 7k i find it hard to put something on the bike that will make it go to red line even faster.

That sounds soooo bad ass!

on that note. . . What does it take to raise the red line of a motor?

ECM Spy

[bttrfngrz]

titanium valves, stiffened springs lightened crank, con rod, lightened piston. thats just for starters.

ecm spy will only take off the rev limiter it will not prevent you from blowing your motor up by revving it to 9000rpm especially since these are push-rod motors. On topic now i wonder if he will share how he built that setup, it sounds nice and i wonder how it performs and reliability.

I know he blew it up at one point by cranking the psi while it was leaking and not remembering to turn it back down after he fixed it so he could set it right, he has pics on buelletin board of the damage, I know he was looking for parts after that, but I hadn't heard anything else
