I picked up a bike that had a turbo kit on it. It had been sitting for a while. I've finally torn it down, and this is what I've come up with.
Turbo: T3/T04E 57 trim, w/.63 A/R (Wastegate has 11lb spring)
Intake: looks man-made, nothing like I've ever seen before. Creepy almost. It was water to air, but the cooling lines were more than 1" in diameter, and heavily braided. It had the BOV attached to it. and a 2.5" charge pipe leading into a 2" intake opening.
The heat exchanger was mounted under the tail section between the rear passenger pegs (which I'm pretty sure didn't do anything for cooling at all) The water pump was nicely located under the gas thank, and is the largest I've ever seen. (almost looks like a aquarium pump.)
Engine mods:
APE 1/2" studs
Base spacer .080" thickness
MSD Aftermarket external fuel pump (mounted to frame)
Rising rate fuel pressure regulator
s2000 injectors
scavage pump (Was located higher than turbo, and I think backflowed into turbo after being shut off)
New shift forks, with shafts
Transmission is undercut
Bazzaz tuner, with fuel mapping sensor
Now that all in mind, I am in the process of getting a new plenum.
So onto my questions.
Is there such an issue of too low PSI on a turbo?
I don't wish to intercool just yet, as I don't want to push a wild amount of horsepower immediately, it will be an upgrade later (prob next winter) at that point, I will upgrade pistons, and rods as well.
Will 11lbs, on pump gas blow anything up if I can't lower the spring rating?
With the setup that is on there, roughly what HP would it put out on pump gas?
Is there anything that HAS to be added immediately before even trying to run it?
I can provide some photos of the monstrosity if you guys want a good laugh, but It's definitely turned into a head scratcher for me, just out of sure laziness of a personal build.
