Turbo?

[birish3]

Hey guys so I've looked all over and can't find anyone that has put a turbo on a 09-10 xb. Any advice or info? Has anyone done it?

ericZ immediately gets raging boner everytime he sees the word turbo on this site. sure he'll be chiming in shortly with all the info you'll ever need. he seems to be "the man" with these things.

Its impossible, no one can do it. Ignore the comment above, he is lying.

Yup and I have tried to get him to devlope a kit but its a no go. He doesnt have to time and is too busy with his daily life just like all the rest of us.

Their are companies out there that will though. Aerocharger is one of them and this is another> http://www.proboost.fi/EN/wp_buell xb.html

Alright I'll give ericZ a shout and as for loki nothing is impossible that just means your a quitter this is happening one way or another. If I said "its impossible" every time I ran into a problem at my work nothing would get done, the solution is there you just have to find it.

Youll want an older model buell to work with. Just saying, these things are very turbo-able. But your frame is the issue here.

Yeah I'm probably gonna have some work done to get around that issue, could cut a new hole in it. I have an 04 as well but it's got like 50000miles on it.

Oh yeah it can and has been done with impressive results. I've heard the lifespan of an engine is like almost 500 miles. HDs primivitive design of the Vtwin pushrod motor is perfect for turbo chargers and or nitrous.

See y'all in the fix it threads

The 9's have holes in the frames already - for a turbo pipe. http://www.buelletinboard.com/forum...e-Erik-Buell-comments-on-Buell-Turbo-History!

My apologies - I think it wasn't just the 9's.

Correct lotus. Original Buell plans were for a turbo. Three models where to be offered, a 9, a short stroke 1340 and a turbo called Diablo. Hardly and Aerocharger couldn't work out cost is the only reason the XB didn't debut with a turbo, and the reason the 9 debuted in late 02 and the 12 didn't come out till the 04 model. All of Buell's problems were the bitches holding the purse strings that only understand assless chaps.

Turbo.....Yay!! I hope I can help out! I just want to see another turbo XB that actually goes down the street and has some real development that is shared online!
