Hi guys.

Just wondering if there's anyone who installed a turbo or compressor on their Super duke, would be pretty cool to watch

I dont think I would bother just run pressure alluminum pipe with fins on it to help disapate heat if there is room ,I did not bother with intercooler on my camaro as it had oil cooler, methonal inj,and my fuel ine ran through my air cond box like a cool can ,ran that system at 18psi boost .......was wicked lifted front tyre on launch ,,,,,I am running an inter cooler on my current project Image
heres a better pic of inter cooler and proposed plumbing its were rad should be as rad is behind seat ,I realise it should be as short as possible but im not lacking hp and am actually counting on a bit of lag, or it will just melt tyres Image
take a look here, http://www.aerocharger.com/

spent the last week pondering where to put it and if I really need that kind of power

its more expensive that a standard turbo, but its smaller, lighter and requires no oil or coolant lines, it also can be mounted in varying positions. Seems an ideal choice for motorcycles.it also controls boost through the use of variable vane turbine nozzles, this has the benefit of decreasing the spool-up time and lowering back pressure. Given the high compression of the LC8 an intercooler would seem almost mandatory if boosting more than ~5-6 psi, don't know as no one has turboed one yet
there seems to be enough room under the tank that a small air to water cooler could be fabricated, then just a small heat exchanger up front. I first was thinking it could be installed under the seat, kind of at the front end of where the stock muffler is, but a better place ( if it is possible ) would be to re-mount the battery and install it where the battery now lives.
Its fun to ponder such things, I wish I had more spare time and $$ to devote to projects like this
Me likey velly much
