First of all can we do this on our bike?

Second. if so. how hard is it. and what mods are required to add a turbo.

lol you think? if it was easy then everyone would do it.

I wonder what kind of tuning had to be done, because I really dont think you could just fabricate a turbo setup and bolt everything up and think the stock mapping would accommodate boost.

No, not slip on... and for the $$, crap, you might as well buy a liter bike.

Arguably yes, but where is the fun in that. Just think of the hours to install, tweak, make it work, have it mapped, and then grenade it when you are out pushing it. Oh yah!

I've thought about it. I think it would be good fun for sure. I dunno if a piggy-backed Power Commander would do the trick or not.. if not then a Microsquirt ECU definitely would. Anyone wanna sponsor me?? lol :~

 

[Sputnikk23]

that is just sick looking..

I seriously looked at turboing my 650 with a garret GT12, and still may at some point. just for fun though, dont expect much out of a project other than a fun build and a unique end product.

 

[LuMpY]

I would sit down and do the math before jumping in face first, but I was looking at something along the lines of a TD04, K03, or even a GT25/28. ~7psi and see what happens. The ER6 in the pics above does not appear to have an intercooler and is tuned with a Power Commander. I wonder what people have done about the air box.

Someone said last time that the power delivery of a turbo motor isn't the safest thing for a bike, better to just get a liter bike. They are just about as light as the 650R these days... esp. after you add all that turbo crap, lol.

 

[Sunderer]

I would think that the turbo would spin the tire right out from under us....

 

[WasDrogan]

Im currently planning and building a Turbo mod for my 2010 ninja 650r using an aerocharger 53 series turbo. because i can.

 

[Leg_of_Tape]

I installed flux capacitors and JATO rockets on mine.

I peel the road off when I launch.

I would be paying supersport litre bike insurance rates for something that didn't even perform as good as a supersport litre bike. That is if I could even find a company that would be willing to insure it at all.

Would be great fun if it wouldn't make a bunch of hassle. I have enough hassle with insurance on my 23 year old Porsche.
