just got a turbo

[triple7]

Green side is liquid side, grey side is exhaust side. Liquid side drives common drive shaft which inturn pulls exhaust through grey side? Hows that?

 

[triple7]

Na, I dont know what it is either guys

hey kona is that a turbo off an airplane? I have one in class that looks almost exactly like it.

 

[dustin_usmc1]

I thought it was a three piston, turbo charged, reciprocating ass-hammer.

 

[Macbuell]

Weird, my girlfriend calls me the exact same thing.

The three pistoned, turbo charged, reciprocating ass-hammer.

Thats a baby turbo, the ones we have on our CAT 3612 series engine is 10 times larger

 

[konarider94]

its a turbo off a cummins v16 50 or 60L. im not sure which one. The engine is used for a generator. They have similar turbos that they only use one of on their 19L engines.

It is certainly not a water pump. But if it gets to 88mph it does make time travel possible.

 

[browland]

Yeah think that one gets the job done a little quicker than my old turbo:

 

[konarider94]

my friend has a nice little turbo sitting in his room sized for about a 1L engine. i think it would be pretty sweet on the buell but i doubt he wants to get rid of it. it looks so tiny compared to that big one.

like i said before though i kind of want to turn the big one into a turbine engine.

Hey guys, stop dreaming and order piece of art from finland!

I'd rather build my own kit like I did with my civic... That way I know exactly what I'm getting with each part and normally end up with a lower cost... I would prolly go for an AEROCHARGER turbo: no wastegate no turbo timer no boost controller so less bulk added to the bike

 

[konarider94]

id be curious to see what that kit looks like installed. but i too would rather build my own

 

[BuddhaBuell]

Johny,
nice but for the price I would rather buy another Buell

 

[Johny Kidd]

Yeah, I understand

But here in finland, the cheapest USED XB's cost over 11 000$ (8000€), so that kit is kinda "cheap" here

Thats why many of us buy even used bikes from usa

Edit. New 2009 XB12S Cost here 22 400$. [down]

 

[BuddhaBuell]

$22 400!!!
wtf?

I feel for you guys....WOW that does suck...[down]

 

[Johny Kidd]

yep, that really sucks..
Gasoline can cost at least 1.40€ /liter -> 7,2$ / gallon
not so fun [sad]

 

[konarider94]

i live in the US version of Finland. The UP of michigan. In the keweenaw penninsula.

I say take that thing and do a DIY jet turbine.
