to turbo or not to turbo?

[the goat]

Hey Rev, are the supercharged Busas able to be "legally" road registered in NSW?

Pan I checked it out and superchargers are legal if you dont tell the RTA. LOL.

Obviously the FMB club you guys,

F....... mad bastards.

F....... mad bastards.

Nothing mad about increasing the volumetric efficiency of a motor & reducing exhaust gas emmisions. ---nor is there anything mad about increasing acceleration when you are passing a road train with only 1.5 meters space to get past because the considerate road train driver has put one side of his road train on the bulldust so you can pass. You must remember Jamdonut, not all Busa riders use their bikes as Dee Why Commuters in Suburbia.
Cheers

Thanks Rod

...so, do any people have any further ideas about turbo or not...? I've been thinking about it for a while.

You all know I have a very nice 01 that's just run in at 54K that would be perfect to put a hair dryer on it LOL

What about these superchargers from the UK? anyone seen one in person? Having the extra HP's in the lower revs as well as up high could be fun! The seem to work out to about 10k including exhaust! should give around 280HP apparently(if I read it right), I will try to find the site and put it up.

Seems odd that a week ago a bloke here was selling his ready-to-go, tried and tested turbo Busa for $12,000, yet we think paying $10K for a kit may be good value

[Maj]

So right Pan

superchargers miss out on a lot of mid range hp, they straight line where the turbo has a huge torque hit
google a few dyno charts and compare

[Corpsedealer]

Unfortunately having 12k spare is not possible espescially when only toying with the idea!
Also even if it was, Convincing the Minister of War and Finance that this would be a good idea may take 12months!

I do wear the pants in the family But only when she tells me which
ones and when I can put them on!

Thanks for the the basic info Maj I will look up some power curves and suss this shit out. I also need to find out a bit on the tuning/programming side so I understand what people are telling me.

The company in the U.K. is www.tts-performance.co.uk for those interested. I also over stated the gains for stage one kit, It happens to be 230bhp.
