Is it just worth it to go turbo with the 1197 or 1197 carbuerated motor:unsure: WIREMAN :whistle:

well one of the good things about the turbo is you could run a smaller motor and still make as much if not more power and still be drivable,but its not cheap;)or look at it this way what does it take to make a reliable legitimate 150 rwhp with a carbed bike,now what does it take to make 150rwhp with a turbo bike?

The prices i'm getting to rebuild my motor seems around the same price.Cylinder studs,bore/hone block,backcut tranz,welded crank,timingchain,camz,piston kit,carbz,and upper case.I would like to build somthing HP.

in order to make 150 hp on a carbed bike youre gonna need a 1327 a huge set of carbs and cams,lots of compression a really good head......and it will be a unreliable, overheating ,tempermental hand grenade that you have to run on race gas constantly.a 150 hp turbo on the other hand can be a 1075 with 8:1 compression,small turbo cams ,a mild head with small valves and no fancy valvetrain parts and a turbo that little 1075 turbo will tear that 180 rear tire a new one.and you can turn down the boost and drive it to church on sunday on pump gas.:evil:

the man knows his motors! hes built them all:woohoo: (now if he would just build one for me:whistle: ....):laugh: :laugh:
hurry up with the new turbo/NOS project and get it on the dyno allready:laugh: :laugh: I want to see that sheet!

An 1197 turbo is 50% bigger than my little bike...

And if you need any more convincing, look what a lowly 810 turbo can do to a big bore 13.5:1 1270cc ZX12R from 6500rpm upwards. Blue line is the 810, green line is the ZX12R.

yours is not a typical turbo though... ...it would take a lot of lucre to build a motor of any size with that kind of power, even with a turbo.

Depends what you call "a lot". My 810 cost about a third of what that 12R cost to build.

i allways wanted a mr turbo kit
still after 16 yrs i still dont have one
and now i live on the island i doubt i ever will
45 max speed limit here lol.
