As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

Forged internals for gs650?

I am assuming the xn85 internals would work but it seems like a total crapshoot to find one... has anyone gone the forced induction route? I have searched the forum but haven't found much info other than the xn85 stuff... I'm thinking low boost 5-8 psi to avoid an intercooler. .. before I get harassed I know it's an uphill battle... I know it wouldn't be easy... just trying to feel out the possibility.... and yes you can run a turbo thru carbs but I'm kinda thinking itb's and megasquirt
 
The stock crank and rods are forged. Pistons are cast.
 
Well that's a good start! So I just gotta find forged pistons... I see guys running nitrous so I figure I can pull off low boost without lifting the head
 
Yeah, you can blow a turbo through carbs, but you have to build a box to TOTALLY enclose them in the pressurized air.

It is MUCH easier to suck through a single carb and blow it into a multi-port manifold.

If that manifold happens to hold some injectors, even better. :encouragement:

Fabrication is my strong suit... I used to have a race prep shop for autox and forced induction cars. And went to a diesel mechanic school due to my boost addiction .. I'm ending my hiatus with 2 wheels so obviously that boost bug is biting at my heels at every turn... I have issues... not denying it...
 
Hey man welcome to the club. I think most of on here have to have some kind of issue to do what we do to these bikes. I think it sounds like an awesome project. I would defiantly follow it.
 
To the best of my knowledge, the XN uses cast pistons. Your problem isn't going to be the hardware it's going to be cooling.
I think the XN uses under piston sprays like GSXR's. Given the limited fin area, oil cooling is going to have to be a priority...
