Which Hairdryer will be best for Busa

[Bill Gaheer]

Hi All,
Due to work constraints I have access to a massive resource of Turbo's from 2.2 Ltr to 50 Lts Engines .

If I want I can pick one up for my bike. All these turbos are for diesel engines question is.

1. Which one to pick
2. These are branded turbos but will a diesel engine turbo suite a high rev Busa engine
3. If I am able to pick one then is it worthwhile to turbo a GEN1 Busa or should I pick the GEN3 (08) and turbo it????


I was thinking of picking the one which is designed for a 2.6 or 2.8 Ltr engine and start the project. Kindly recommend......

Sorry bill cant help with the sizing.
there Gen 2 busa's .
Right now atleats it would be a cheaper option to turbo the gen 1 busa.

Diesel turbo's will usually be way bigger in the exhaust and smaller on the inlet than what suits the bike.
diesel rated power for a turbo is ~1/2 that of the same turbo on a petrol
a good starting point will be a 150 hp diesel turbo with small ex housing, but would need some measurements to get some idea of real potential

Getting the turbo is the easy part of turboing a busa, I think you be better of purchasing the correct turbo for the job rather than wasting time and effort trying to get the "almost right" turbo to work.
