    I tried this in the garage. Not a lot of interest. Blowthru turbo.

    KKK turbo from an Audi. 10lb boost. Been messing with it off and on for several years.

    Turbo 400 updates. It's been a while but i didn't give up on it.

    Fixed the turbo dump pipe leak, tig welded a new one. Found out after three different modifications to my fuel pressure regulator that it is not properly constructed "taiwan". Till parts come in I started on the seat/ tail cowl. One piece when done.

    From what I gather. My video is an mp4 apparently not compatible. Any fix for this

    If anyone is looking to eliminate the kickstart internally I can make these. This is the first one I made.

    Yes I filed down webs and drilled the front rim for balance. I have put three different size tires on it and never needed weight yet

    I got this bike 10 years ago in pieces from a good biker friend that tore it apart running to make a hard tail chopper out of it. When real money or fab had to be put in it he gave up and dropped it off to me in boxes. I couldn't ebay it away for some reason. And here I am.

    It's raw but road test ready. I want one of my buddy's to chase me with my truck just in case. 2 days and no helpers. Burnouts in the garage are getting old.

    Since I can't post a video..Proper intake manifold for an engine of this style. It is a stubby tin box the size of both intake ports as close to head as possible. I have a V divider inside that comes near to the top of the throat for the carb mount. I have made a half a dozen different ones...

    Reg/rec wiring

    I know that you have to run both boxes on a stocker. Rectifier and regulator. I'm in the middle of the same. Battery no charge if you don't install both or a retrofit.

    I have tried to upload a video of a startup/run/revs for the last three days. 40 baybe 50 seconds long from my phone. New phone, can't figure it out. Any suggestions?

    Turbo 400 updates. It's been a while but i didn't give up on it.

    Definite video post when it's roadworthy. In my many tests using revs or a wall dyno I'm satisfied enough to make it go somewhere without needing a truck. It has a very unique sound not like any bike I've ever heard seeing I have ridden the old cx turbo and ninja turbo.

    Battery box and battery fitted. Now to start some wiring, very simple. Bar mounted On/off switch and start button. Hot lead installed on battery, ran out of solder on connectors. Back to the store. Few pix for now.

    Turbo 400 updates. It's been a while but i didn't give up on it.

    I have figured out how to not only run a 400 properly off a single carb. I have tried several makes and models of carbs testing things. I have tried a few types of homemade manifolds with widely varying results. I'm happy with the results of the yz450 fcr carb. Once boost was applied there were...

    Slowly going back together. Eliminated kickstart components and cut a plug for the case. Took clutch apart and machined the boss and pressure plate to accept big bear plates and more of them. Trying to hide battery under swingarm at the moment.

    Runs like a scolded dog against a wall. 7/10lb boost. I stripped it to weld the frame up. Trying to fab a rear brake.
