Hi all,
The company doing Turbos is in Sydney. The guy who did it has a Suzi car and reckoned he had to do the busa because his little 4 wheeled suzi could out accelerate the busa in standard form - he claims it produces 550hp
They have done two busas and they are not only turbo'd they also run custom made intercoolers as well. They estimate they can get the bike up to about 300hp but so far have "only" made about 260 hp.
They will do it for a price, takes abot two weeks to fit and costs run from $6000 to about $10000.
Peter Tainton is in Stud Road vic and he has done some electronic and exhaust mods to produce about 220+hp as I recall. The bike was clocked at Avalon airfield at around 324kph on the radar. He has kits in stages from around $3000 to $6000 I believe.
The Mr Turbo kits come from the USA at around US$4000 but I would not like to fit one myself so unless they have an agent out here I would be taking the bike to Sydney.
Oh, the other downside of the Sydney mod is that you end up with the air cleaner sticking out of the lower left hand fairing - a bit like a trainer wheel.
Hope this helps guys - I am considering the same change myself next year hence the research
If anyone wants the actual address of the place in Sydney email me at bmacone@hotmail.com and I will go find it for you.
