Turbo Vmax

[Hooligans]

I am done building my daily Vmax and have enough parts left over to build another one. I probably don't have the money right now but for the next Vmax build I'd like to do something different, I've noticed people talking about turbo kits over the years, has anyone actually come out with one?

We're getting closer! I do have one setup left in the Muscle sale album. It's not as cosmetically pretty with it all out in the open. The new setups we're doing are a lot more tucked in and will look sweet. Hopefully will have more info after the first of the year. I've been posting updates in the facebook turbo album.

I do have some chain drive stuff on hand you could make a pretty bad ass bike with? I even have my old dragbike with chaindrive and hillborn fuel injection setup on that I was going to contemplate converting to turbo.

Sean, any updates on your turbo?

Mad Max, Paul has gen 1 and 2 turbo bikes.

Not a lot of new progress though the exhaust builder did contact me over the holidays. Here's some preview pics. Not a lot left to do.

The compressor will tap into the oil system someplace off the main oil galley, or off the oil pan? And a single carb which is pressurized before the carb? Then it blows into the log ram manifold? Do you expect using a larger cooling system radiator, or an oil cooler too?

The fabrication looks very clean from what you've posted. I'm just afraid the cost is going to be what my bike is worth, or more. What type of pressurization do you expect to achieve, for what % of increase in RWHP? Will it need lower compression pistons and forged, to be able to 'live?'

Looks great, like it came with the bike. That's what I'd want for an install if I ever went turbo. Maybe someday, when I'm done trying to squeeze 1 more HP AND 2 lbs of extra torque out of my stock engine.

nice look sean. makes me want to buy another gen 1. how much will it cost.

 

[one2dmax]

No idea on costs yet but it won't be cheap for sure. Lots of custom parts. Hopefully I can get the machine work done on a more production type basis instead of one off basis. Development costs are always rough.

Power will virtually be unlimited to what you want to try and see what your parts will take. Low boost settings (4-6 psi) should make 140-160 rwhp. Draw Through HSR Mikuni is what we had planned to use.
