Help....Turbo charger on Touring

[ROCKETHEAD]

WE do have an turboed 1500cc Roadster that is used as a test bed for the streamliner engines and it will produce 500HP SO a 2300cc version should make around 700HP BUT what are you going to do with that on a street bike ???

And how much for the 700hp kit???

 

[ROCKETHEAD]

I will be happy with a 300-500hp turbo charged rocket... did the super charged once and liked it but there is something about the turbo charged motors I can't get away from... my winter ride is a 6.7 Cummins Diesel pushing 400HP and 980lb/ft Torque at 36psi...

Local Triumph dealer told me on Thursday that he dropped $4 grand on the last Roadster he sold. Reckon he'd have been even keener to shift a Touring. Offer them $21 and see what they say. Doubt there's a queue........

Agree with Richard mate .. $20 or $21,000 ..cash talks as we know. If you don't do any good with them sing out and i'll give you my mates number at Triumph Springwood .. he'll do you a deal.

My local dealer has a new 2014 R3T for about $19,000. US.

Did you say Carpenter doesn't like the supercharger? I thought he did??

Of course he doesn't promote force feeding. It would cut into his market. Don't blame him.

Just thought I would pose this idea!!!
What about fabricate a discrete pulley system that takes off from where the super charger would normally attach, that then runs down a shaft that goes down the length of the motor (Between the motor and foot control rail) to the back then linking it to a supercharger with a suitable air filter in the airbox - even if you completely removed the airbox to gain the air flow...
I don't know what forces are involved in spinning up a supercharger and I would say machining may need to be extensive.
Could be a market for a stealth forced induction kit.

I can picture gonads being sucked into the motor.

I know I am ignorant but, where do you get a 1500CC Roadster? Pull a spark plug?
