ZRX is interesting in that it looks like it has a inner cooler for the turbo. The box under the cylinder at the swing arm pivot is curiously low to the ground. That could be the picture angle. Nice looking bike.

Please keep us posted.

This makes me think of the RC motors relying on exhaust valves to control RPM. Not that it relates. Just makes me think of it.

Well I have found out that just about any carb can be used in a blow through set up, except the CV vacuum type carbs. The bowel vents need to be tied to boost, a boost referenced regulater, it adds fuel pressure as 1 lb of boost adds X number of pounds of fuel pressure, some are set some are adjustable and obviously a fuel pump.

It seems the reason the KZs are all draw through is the amount of room behind the carbs. Since I am moving my battery and electronis to a spot above the rear tire I may be able to pull this off.


Exactly.

CV carbs have been used with much success as well.

www.turbo-bike.com has quite a few.
