Was gonna turbo my Yamaha FZ6 with an old VW turbo but couldn't get the funds together at the time to have custom exhaust and intake work done. Was young and dumb to attempt it but couldn't follow through . Now that I'm older and still dumb I want to turbo an R1 at some point. Waiting on my neighbor to sell me his clapped out 07' that sits outside year round without a cover

Lol I hear ya.

Both the Busa and GSXR-1K are fully built low compression turbo engines with all supporting mods aka: big dollar builds w no corners cut. The fairings/tank,etc are the original OEM pieces that are now 23yrs old. The rear wheel has to be powdercoated black to match the front as its from a Gen2 Busa

Worked out great,in the 10yrs since I've built them I've only had to change plugs and change oil/filter and I ride em hard as they were intended to be ridden. 60-130 in the 2.x second range and 100-150 pretty much the same time. Have no issues rolling against 1500hp+ cars

Cut corners or use a stock engine and you will melt something or put a rod through the case sooner or later..because everyone I know w a turbo(car or bike) eventually always wants more boost lol
