    Turbo Bike Draw-Through Carb Knowledge Thread

    I have been toying around for a while with the idea of building a turbo GS. I have the engine knowledge and resources I need, and I can do all of the fabrication. What I don't know a thing about is the carburetors. While I do like fuel injection, I think I would prefer not to try to find a home for a fuel rail, injectors, a pump, a filter, and an ECU on a motorcycle.

    Please share any knowledge or resources you have on suitable single barrel carburetors for about 120-140HP worth of air and fuel flow that are still well-mannered at idle and low load situations.

        There is an entertaining turbo 1100 build on "On Yer Bike". I think they did about 18 episodes but have not posted anything new in quite a while.
