1972RedNeck Posted November 10, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00co5efHsUI I'm sure a lot of you have seen this video. I think I have watched it at least once a day for the past two weeks. My question is what would one have to do to the injection system to make this work? I would think that 9 PSI of boost would really wake these bikes up...

1972RedNeck Posted November 12, 2015 C'mon, I can't be the only one on here that would like to do this... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewistacey Posted November 13, 2015 The guy says it's still running fine and hits 90mph no problem. I saw some vids a few years ago of people sticking a turbo on their WR250R. Can't seem to find it now. I do think that you'd probably have to upgrade some engine parts to cope with the power tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hege Posted November 13, 2015 Most pointless thing ever... but cool anyway.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arctic Pride Posted November 13, 2015 Key is in tuning, make sure the boost comes on late and smooth... I'd bet on bigger injector and probably fuel pump, the rest is fabrication Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
torbo Posted November 18, 2015 I'm all for turbocharging everything. I'd like to see more from the builder though. He claims in the comments that a fuel controller was all he needed, dubius but promising. 9lbs give or take isn't always devastating to most stock motors. I do have to wonder if (with proper heat shielding and some cooling ducts) there wouldn't be room where the airbox is... Could maybe put an air cleaner on it too, lol.

I too have wondered about putting it where the air box is but up in front of the engine keeps the weight lower and should spool a little faster. If I didn't need to rebuild my XR650R engine this winter I would have already ordered a turbo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
torbo Posted November 18, 2015 My mind always wanders to turbos. Won't happen to the crf any time soon (at least until other projects are complete) but always entertaining to consider anyhow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
