Turbo bobber build thread.

I have heard some rumours about boost pressurised tanks from very early times of turbo bikes. But I have no idea how successful these experiments were.

A wideband is a good investment, helps to avoid molten pistons and other similar incidents

I turbo charged my 81 GS1100. I was originally going to due the original 750 engine but the more I read into it, it just seemed easier to swap in a 1100. Not saying you cant do it.....here is my build thread from OSS

I made a ton of mistakes and then a ton of corrections it was a awesome learning experience.
Hopefully you can catch some of my mistakes early and save yourself some headaches.
Bike looks sharp so far good luck!!!!!

Back in the early 80's, I bought a turbo Yamaha XS1100. The turbo was set up by Mr. Turbo inc. It was a Rajay turbo with 1 carb and was mounted behind the cylinders. The fuel was delivered by gravity and the exhaust spun the turbo. It was street friendly with about 180hp. I ran it at the track with 20 PSi boost on 120 octane gas. It was agood for Low 9 second quarter mile times... Probably my most favorite bike.
