Hey Gdy
Gary or Tony are probably better people to answer the technical questions, I am only the discple at the moment with only hours of gleening information to my credit.
Well here goes:
The maintenance part I was refering to was mainly the bottle refilling, the occasional solenoid rebuild and filter replacement (Nitrous and Fuel if its a wet system). Like anything all depends on the quality of gear you use.
Other aspects to keep in mind are, the Bottle pressure must be kept between 900 - 950 PSI usually by heaters/coolers, fuel pressure must be kept constant, the system should be purged of any air pockets and I am sure there are others.
I like Nitrous because the motor doesnt need to be pulled apart unless you are unlucky of course, anyone with reasonable mechnical ability can put the system together, your bike can go in for its usual service at the local dealer, when the bike is to be sold it will probably have a better chance of selling as not everyone wants a turbo nor will the banks loan money for one I would expect, the wow factor is nearly the equal of the turbo. You can run on Premium fuel for most of the time rather than buy drums of race fuel all the time.
If you are a regular user you could always have your own filling station!
Approximate Costs
All prices are US, just easier to put together a List
Most of the gear can be bought in Australia though
Nitrous
These are only Basic Kits, relying on the nitrous spraying past the air sensor to adjust fuel. Larger doses may need to a controller and the fuel to be remapped through a Power Commander or the like. They all definately require accessories to create a reliable system ie gauges, warmers at a minimum
Dynotune 40 Dry $229US
Muzzy 50 Dry $430US
NX 40 Wet $619US
Big Block
They say the standard injectors and pump are good to about 220HP so you might get away without changing these and same for the throttle Bodies. Exhaust with the extra capacity might be an issue especially the 1661. I know Brock Hindle make a system for at least the 1397.
Ape 1397 $478US (requires block modification/boring)
Muzzy Big Block
Crank $850US
1661cc Block $2850US
Turbo charging
Ghetto comes complete nothing to buy except new jocks
Ghetto Kit $4500US
Phew that was long
Hope it helps
