Turbos

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by WavyDavy\(Mobile\), Sep 7, 2006.

  1. Depends on application (I was influenced by big diesels and stationary
    engines) and if you're happy having the turbo going at insane speeds
    higher up the engine rev range - which they do nowadays, of course.

    It's amazing how they've progressed in the past few years. Wasn't really
    all that long ago they were rare and expensive add-ons. Now they're just
    another thing we take for granted as factory fit.

    Thankfully. At least we get *some* performance out of what otherwise would
    be dog slow diesels these days.

    Yep, but I need to check the forks first and make sure they're not bent
    at all (and, if they are, have them straightened - they're worth too
    much to just bin). The bike took a fair whack that all but destroyed the
    cockpit (headlight vanished, clocks pretty much imploded. I've not
    stripped any of the rolling chassis down yet, just cosmetic and dangly
    bits, but you're more than welcome to take a punt on any bits that
    sounds interesting.

  8. Super Cooper.

    It's the standard supercharger as factory fitted to the MINI Cooper -
    often replaced with an upgraded model by the hot snatch brigade,
    resulting in a glut of cheap brand-new 'chargers on eBay. The M45 fits
    engines in the range 1300cc to 3000cc. Usually sell for a hundred quid
    or so - bargain.
