My question is will this fit a 77 650 Frame?
He did not specify what year nor if it actually had a turbo or not.
I'm still waiting for him to respond...........................................................................Waiting.............trying to be patient...................

Just need some spacers to mount it in the 6509 frame.
Starting from scratch like you will be, a MegaSquirt EFI system makes more sense than trying to adapt a 25 year old wiring harness to the bike.
We have a 750 Turbo motor that's going into a 650 frame, I'm just trying to convince my nephew that he really doesn't want to run 30 psi of boost and race gas on the street. He keeps talking about running E85, but who needs 250 hp on the street?
Kids! :laugh:

The e85 cars have a sensor in the fuel line to sense if it is running on regular or e85. the way it tells that is the ohms. since fuel is an insulator it wont make the contact and the computer will know that you have regular fuel.
If it senses that you run the e85 it switches to a all new ball game with different timing curves and fuel to air ratio(25-50% more fuel). E85 is garbage fuel you dont want to run it. It is electrically inductive. All rubber, magnesium, and aluminum must NOT be used in the fuel system.
Besides E85 is more harmfull to the earth then regular fuel is. Due you know how much it takes to grow one gallon of fuel and then process it???
Your better off waiting a few more years for switch grass fuels. Way less toxic and corrosive, and you can grow it anywhere. It also grows 25 times faster then corn.

grass fuels?enlighten me oh wise one,can this stuff be made at home and how hard is it to make? you have my attention!E85 is highly corrosive and not to mension everything the fuel touches will have to be plastic or stainless steel. So if it sits in the carbs over night you might wake up to your carb foamy and the finish ruined.

The reason for E85 is that it's easily available, and you can run much more boost than with gasoline, not environmental reasons.
no carbs, EFI.
Haven't done the research (like I said, I'm trying to talk him out of it), but I know others are using Flex Fuel on older vehicles so it must be possible.
Think of it as running alcohol on the street
Like I said before, I'm not in favor of it, and I'm trying to talk him out of it.

Well worth using the turbo engine if you actually want to run a turbo on it, otherwise forget it. I wouldn't bother with Megasquirt though, the standard EFI is highly capable
