    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Did a search, didnt get any results that answered my questions. I have access to a t3 turbo for 50.00, so that got the gears in my head turning. Im a welder so making the plumbing is no problem, with that aside how hard is it to turbo these bikes? This bike is my daily driver so i need reliability and want the engine to last. This something that can be accomplished with around 100-200 dollars, and keep the reliability? I dont want to dump a ton into this project.
 
Sure, if you can find all the parts you need for $200, you could do it for $200. I would leave it stock myself. Why muck up a good thing?

T3 is waaaaay to big and will spool up next week. Oil pressure will be insufficient as well.
 
Would need some sort of waste gate or pop off valve that was adjustable. Being this is your street bike, Driveability would be an issue with a turbo that large. This sounds like a major can of worms to me. I've built my own system, after many years of running "kit" turbos, and the results were less than I had hoped for. I wasted lots of time, money, and a perfectly good ZR1 motor in the process.
 
i decided its too risky to attept. My bike has under 3000 origional miles on it so i dont want to do any unnecessary wear and tear on it.
