its a nice mod and can boost the power if done perfectly.. but i doubt on the reliability... can ditch you anytime.. i wish companies start focusing on this factor and it comes as stock in future..

Re: Turbo on bikes
As now the day turbos are used for getting nominal power from small engines in cars, it is going to take ages when we will able to see superchargers/turbochargers in small road bikes.KTM RC390 - Current
Yamaha R15 v2 - Sold
Hero Hunk - Sold

Re: Turbo on bikes
Turbos can't be used in india on bikes, we don't have that low temperatures here to justify the use!Comment

Re: Turbo on bikes
What with Low temperature? Sorry could not get the point.Originally posted by shrirang Shivankar View PostYou're never lost if ya don't care where the road is headedComment

Re: Turbo on bikes
Chargers increase pressure and Temperature of air to improve ignition properties, if air temperature is already higher, it will result in pre ignition and drastically reduce efficiency.
As per my understanding though!Last edited by shrirang Shivankar; 01-02-2015, 05:39 PM.Comment

Re: Turbo on bikes
I dont think ambient temp is a major hurdle , one could always use Intercooler to get back to normal temperatures , and/or the other detonation prevention measures can be incorporated. Turbos are doing duties in all sort of vehicles from Sahara to artic circles.Originally posted by shrirang Shivankar View Post
I guess no Turbo maufacturer has a turbo small enough. Small bike engines below do not generate enough Exhaust energy to spool up a Turbo and provide any useable boost.You're never lost if ya don't care where the road is headedComment

Use of other components wont justify the cost was my point[emoji4]Originally posted by dustom_99 View PostComment

Re: Turbo on bikes
How come cost is coming into discussion when no one seems to have even a prototype. I said small enough turbo are still not available.Originally posted by shrirang Shivankar View Post
How are we discussing cost of something which is not even available.
I guess you had temperature trouble in your first post , not cost.You're never lost if ya don't care where the road is headedComment

Re: Turbo on bikes
Agree with your point, I just had understanding that use of charger will not be justified in india for 2 wheelers.Originally posted by dustom_99 View PostComment

Re: Turbo on bikes
Whats the point of having a turbo? Motorcycles have already reached the maximum usable power limit. (250BHP is more than enough for everything)I am back!

Re: Turbo on bikes
I guess around 120 bhp is more than enough for any kind of motorcycle for road use.Originally posted by Cleaner View Post
There are a lot of bikes making way more than that already , very few make use able power for average Joe .
Most of the bikes make all that power way up the rpm band ( good for a race/ Track), and less than 5% people actually explore it regularly on road.
Turbo can make that power at very low rpm bands.
A bike making 100bhp at 4-5k rpm is way more use able and makes that power because of Torque , rather than Rpm. Is also more fun to ride and less stressed.
IMO ,A turbo could be best thing to Happen to Cruisers and street bikes.You're never lost if ya don't care where the road is headedComment
