Turbocharger for those that need it.

They don't recommend that for under 150ccs. I don't think that will stop some folks here.
 
That's sensational!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Think this through. Honda don't use them on any bikes now, and Honda know a lot of what there is to know about bike engines.
 
But it "looks nasty good" and imagine that beautiful (non-return) blow-off sound when snapping the throttle shut - i wouldn't care if the engine with turbo made less horsepower than in naturally aspirated form.

Sometimes aural and aesthetic qualities are worth more than optimal engineering principles!
 
you could do it with a small ducted fan from an rc jet if you just wanna blow some positive pressure in and feel some boost....be tricky to regulate though.
 
even if you could get it mounted up to a china 2 stroke AND have it actually make some boost, the china bottom end would not hold up to the boost pressure.
you'd have to fabricate an intake manifold and exhaust to make it work and to mount it, but even if it was just for looks and noise, it would look totally cool hanging off a china 2 stroke.
 
Looks interesting, but I didn't quite understand how it's powered, from the engine magneto? I thought we looked anything up to this power source it would kill the engine? Thank you John

Really? A turbo does not require any electrical power. Its driven off of tbe exhaust gasses. Exhaust blows into one side of the turbo and it spins an impeller. This impeller has a shaft which has a second impeller on the intake side which also spins. The intake air is compressed by this impeller and forced into the engine (boost) . The more air and fuel that you can force into the cylinder, the more power the engine will make. A turbo is definitly the one thing that can give you "free" horsepower because it uses unwanted exhaust gasses & pressure to make it work.
 
need a pressurized oil feed for the turbo too, and turboing a smoker is alot easier said than done, be better to put it on a big thumper as a draw-thru carb setup.
