most newbies dont know even the basics.and expect to get faster by paying 5th class fail roadside mech's who dont have an idea what their doing

..i think you shouldidnt even think of touching your bike till you actually know what your are doing..nothing on earth beats a DIY job..and thats only possible if you try to understand the basics first..that takes time and you need to actually get involved with your bike..and not just pay some dumb mech..

according to you guys ^^^^^^^

I dont know what the experts might say, I would certainly second that statement. If you are using it as a daily bike i.e..

Dude I would love to know more info about this... Please put some light

^that was just an example

what i meant to say in short was we can turbocharge an average zma/pulsar by upgrading the internals so that they can handle the boost . refer to wikki and see how a turbo works then you can understand better .

I ran across a web site of a guy using chevy v8 air pumps as superchargers for lawnmower engines.

Thanks for those links madrussian

At first The second one seemed hilarious to me but thats quite a tool for our traffic though not for potholed roads

I was wondering how small could a 160 cc engine be

after watching those pics..
Is there anyone here in India who had successfully kitted a turbocharger to their bike? I would like to know more about turbocharging our very own single cylinder babies in India

themadrussian · 06-22-2009, 05:06 PM

i heard there was a turbo karizma which did 160kmph on speed gun .

well a 160 cc engine can be quite small . half the size of a 300ml coke bottle

another theory i have is a small supercharger running low boost (so that it dosent rob much power off the crank) and a turbo , which will be aided by the supercharger and help it spool faster .
just a thought .

a turbo and supercharger clubbed

... ok its theoretical.. but is that possible practically

There was no such Karizma in the country.
ofcourse there was a guy who claimed that his karizma would lick 160-170kph and on the speedgun, it did 124kph.

FYI, turbo charging a single cylinder is not easy in any sense. Getting the right turbo, piping it right, getting the right ignition and setting it up, making it reliable and achieving the desired results etc etc is almost close to black magic in short.
An NA engine can be more reliable and there is lesser complication.
