Greetings from turbo owner
30 Jun 2026 06:11
Hi all.
I live in the UK and work on lot's of TC's and turbocharged Zeds and CBX's. I've been working on turbo bikes for over 20 years and often have to rebuild damaged motors.
My love for turbo Zeds started with when I bought and restored this 1979 S+S Performance Silver Saxon 20 years ago.
I owned it for many years but sold it to a dear friend in Scotland.
Today I run a late Stardust Z1-R TC which I built 3 years ago with a massive engine spec.
Hope to hear from other turbo owners on here.
Thanks Will

Welcome to KZR
Real nice bikes
I know a little about turbos too.
Mine has been turbocharged since early 80s
I used to be part of a race team Back In The Day as we say.

Not being familiar with the Silver Saxon Will, is that basically a Rickman framed equivalent?

Welcome from Canada Will
Normally aspirated here, and one fuel injected ride.
I am curious how the Turbo set up works on an inline 4 motor.
Someone have a basic schematic or diagram?
I know air/fuel is forced into the combustion chamber.
I hear about gates etc
And single carb sets ups, or more.
