e-flores Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 thats why they make 1000, 1300, and 1400cc bikes.... they have a chassis to fit the power and the transmission is made to handle the power. you have no risk of blowing a motor and its cheaper to buy a 1000 than to put a turbo on a 600. there are no advantages to a turbo 600.

gen4zx10r Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Waste of money buy a bigger bike 1k+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStump Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Waste of money buy a bigger bike 1k+Liter bikes from what I have seen on CL, are typically only a grand or 2 more than their 600cc counterpart of the same year. Not worth the headache and frustration of trying to cram a snail inside your frame then dealing with the problems typically associated with turbos on originally NA engines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rctaylor Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 A literbike would have more power, be more reliable and probably end up being much lighter weight.You should still take it to DTM for a tune though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Gsxr- take to Brian for tuning. Could be a fun little bike. Certainly different. Of course if hes wanting to do it, because.he.thinks.its.cheaper than buying a 1000, then he should quit while he's ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshfz.2008 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 I agree with it probly being cheaper and more efficient to just buy a bigger bike. But I do know if you search on youtube there are a couple turbo R6's, and some GSXR's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxer_joe08 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Do they even make a turbo kit for 600cc bikes? I know they do for the busa and zx-14. If they dont then you would have so many headaches and trial and errors forming your piping and finding a small intercooler plus making everything fit. Good luck to each his own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrown57 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 He said he wants to do the fabrication and that's the fun part lol he mainly wants to know what's a good engine that is a good foundation and won't crap out on him or cause extra work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 to be blunt, all of the 600's from the big 4 are going to be bulletproof for their designed purpose...i'd suggest going for the cheapest that he can find in bulk, the learning curve might get a little steep, and pricey.

imprez55 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 There is a guy over on .net looking to twin turbo a 600rr. I think its silly to twin turbo it, its also got to be a fun project regardless. There were a lot of people initially ragging on him saying "its not the right bike", "get a 1000cc", "its not possible" etc... Its very possible to run low boost on any 600cc engine, higher and you will need to get new internals. There was a video posted up not too long ago about an older bike running high boost, so maybe that would be wiser for your friend to pursue? For now I will just leave some links here that I posted up on .net as well:turbo gsxr 600: http://www.gixxer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=187973video: dynojet's turbo 600rr: http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=147094and the previous link in the thread: http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=74039&page=7And here are some factory turbo motorcycles (two 650's and a 500):http://www.turbomotorcycles.org/TMIO...a_CX650Td.htmlhttp://www.turbomotorcycles.org/TMIO...a_CX500Tc.htmlhttp://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/ep...rbo_small.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrown57 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 My friend is very ambitious but is very knowledgeable with welding, engines, ect. Hell he even thought about getting a 600 and making it run on hydrogen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
