SUPERCHARGER

[chris0710]

where do you get one of the hyper chargers at for 03xb9r

 

[konarider94]

would be kind of hard to ride that supercharged bike. my knee would have a serious interference problem.

 

[07Bolt]

any HD dealer can order them; or just go to Kuryakyn.com

 

[bardo688]

so does that hypercharger do much for performance or is the stock ram air with a K&N just as good

 

[Abs]

I found these ones....

 

[atc5011]

almost all of the bikes, have to be 06 or earlier... most of the turbos go through where there is the cut out-- as mentioned in a previous post i beleive the 06- present, this was welded up--- wish there was a bolt on type kit!!!!

Procharger makes a kit for Harleys, so dont know how much work it would take to make it fit.

the Aerocharger unit for Harleys (no different for the Buell) runs 8-12 lbs of boost and requires no 'beefing up' of the motor.

But where would you put an intercooler on a Buell? The Larger Harley Cruisers have space for the intercooler which allows them to run the 8-10lbs of boost, but try to run boost that high on anything with hot air and you are going to make no power as you are just forcing hot air into the intake which we all know is a power robber.

Yeah forcing in more air will give you some gains but not what you would think it should. Hell you could even tune it to run off E90 then you dont need an intercooler but at $6 a gallon it might just not be worth it.

IMO, you would be best off with some internal work and a custom tune which would probably cost less and be way cooler....

You could mount it under the seat, with a small puller fan.

 

[stopie20]

intercoolers are not required to make power with forced induction, true they increase gains by a percentage but you can still pull 30-40 percent increases with a "hot-air" turbo..... but we are talking about a procharger, this is a mechanicaly driven set-up and that means no exhaust gases to heat up the intake air, so plainly put, a supercharger (roots or centrifugal) will only slightly heat intake air due to friction.
So no intercooler is not a huge problem.

 

[slag kustom]

been thinking of pulling the blower off my ironhead drag bike to see if i can make it work on the buell

 

[bardo688]

if we could get a procharger on a buell with a little beefing up it would jump numbers up greatly and wouldnt have to worry about doin much for others mods

 

[ANIMOSITY]

I still beleive in No replacement for displacment. The power of a turbo or a blower would be great, but who wants a buch of junk hangin off your bike? Adds weight, throws off the balance. These bikes where built for the twistees, If you want a drag bike, buy a ZX12 or ugly ass Busa.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[BRomanowski]

Stopie - For any boosted setup you should cool the air. The reason it heats up is from the compression of the air. The amount of heat transferred from the exhaust on a turbo setup is a lot less then the amount generated by the gases compressing.

Someone had mentioned a ford probe turbo but that would be way too big for these engines. I did a setup on a TL1000 at my old shop years ago but I can't remember what turbo we used. I sourced it right from turbonetics though. Give them all the info on your engine and they will let you know the perfect turbo for your setup.

This place does turbo kits for Harley's, Suzuki's, Yamaha's, etc...

I'm sure with some small modifications they can be adapted to a Buell.

if your gona put a turbo on your bike you need to make sure you have an inter-cooler to regulate the air temperature...

No electric driven fan has so far worked on any automobile except when the testers use an external battery not connected to the engine. Soon as you use the vehicles own battery the power drops back down. The alternator draws equal power to charge the battery as it adds to the engine.

You need pressure to get Hp and fans are bad at building pressure. An electric driver supercharger does work. But its not a radial fan...
