Thanks for posting such a impressive project. Turbocharging a carbureted engine is a hard thing to accomplish successfully. One of the last things I would like to do to my future aerobike is a turbo. Seeing other success is encouraging and insightful. Do you have any more specifications on how you turbocharged your bike? My bike is a 250cc, so I would need a really small turbo. What size is your burbo? Hybrid? It looks like its the right size by the response of it as the engine speed increases. Seems very responsive from the video.


Your other projects are impressive, especially the use of diesel in a gasoline motorcycle engine.

On a side note. You should go to a track day and test your bike in a safer environment.
I have attended a few with my car. It's a great learning experience. I feel more confident driving my car at high speeds now. I was able to determine the effectiveness
of a front lip on the car, it understeers less in the big wide corners.


Be safe out there.
