I'm not a huge fan of the cafe racer fashion (that said if i had the time i would have a go at one) but i do like the look of this; great idea to make it a prefab hook into the Suzuki Gsxr forks onto a GS1100. https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/v/t1.0-9/12039191_894621123954458_758080201074...

The brand new [ and cheap ! ] Turbo unit has just arrived and the system packaging looks extremely doable.

I've also come up with a couple of ideas for the new body style .............

PM sent

As mentioned over in tech - these units are now sitting on our shelves after being road tested [ by us ] for the past month.

We are waiting for the data spec sheets to come over and the final shipping / import costs to be sorted and then we will have a retail price available - couple of weeks max.

After a few false starts with trying to obtain Power Commanders and other suchlike, we eventually dropped on Dobeck Performance in the USA. They already produce an off the shelf solution for R1100S [ and others ], but we wanted them to come up with a unit suitable for lightly modified bikes - DeCat ...

the parts we DON'T want are all the fuggly bits - it's the mechanics / bare rolling chassis we're interested in. 2K is a very good price to pay for the donor bike, ugly as it is, it is a very good bike! I'll be interested to see what you make out of it. one question though, is the canbus electronic...

Pete / Neil yes and yes. We are choosing the relevant data to suit the relatively lazy twin. I did the same calcs for my AlfaSud hill climber [ IHI turbo ]. That said, I grew up [ mechanically speaking ] in the 60's and Mechanical superchargers are my first love. Shorrock blown Renault R8 Gordini ra...

I think that you could drop that ST off a cliff and it would still look prettier than it started :D Agreed ... but at two grand it will do for a donor !! I'm guessing the parts we don't want will make around £600 - £800, oh yes and it's just been MOT'd ! The parts we DON'T want are all the fuggly b...

Ooooohhhhhhh! If there ever was a bike that needed a makeover and a turbo"............ There it is in all it's glory!!! :lol: :wink: Please make it pretty and fast. Gus Ps ok , just make it fast then. :lol: No, the plan is "pretty" [ different ] AND fast !!! :twisted: Just as with th...

What's your target output? Normally I'd advocate sizing the turbo so that your target is 60-70% maximum compressor flow, no sense pushing it into the choke zone and elevating intake temps unnecessarily. I'm not so sure with a lower-revving twin though. On the one hand you don't want to make boost t...

Mind you don't over-size it. I did that with my first mechanical one and aerarted the oil pretty badly. Yes good point, we have all the relevant flow figures for these units - as well as 25 years experience using them. We're happy they'll do the job. Just looking for a suitable point to route the r...

The latest poor unsuspecting donkey ......... for the "new" project [ turbocharged ]

I'm currently looking at the space underneath the gearbox, it will mean an additional oil return scavenge pump - but they're readily available and inexpensive. Are you going to use an electric or mechanical pump? There's one version of electric pump which uses a plastic impellor housing and it's qu...

Gus, looking forward to meeting you .............. I know you have a hectic work schedule, but weekends are usually good for me and AC. That's when we do the bulk of our "scheming" - weekdays are taken up with the boring stuff like building C Types [ replicas ] ! Give us a week or two noti...
