Turbo charging
Reading an earlier post with suggestions for fitting turbo/supercharger, is it possible to fit one to a carb'd 898cc Blade engine and what can I
expect with regards to the cost and the amount of work required.

Very possible, it will be my winter project
Looking to 180+ HP probably cost under £1000 in a locost stylee.
Have a look here..

Hi Barry, might be worth a call to Ashford Motorsport, their based in poulton close, dover.
The owner has a fireblade bike that he fitted a turbo to a few years ago.

Here's the expensive way:
turboblade
If you are able to make up the bits then quite cheap, mine suffered clutch slip so had to invest another £400-£500 in a lockup clutch, with HD springs
on factory plates it was marginal.
clutch came from here, I paid for the cad drawings so should be less than I paid 
psycleworkz.com
It makes a huge difference to the performance..... well worth the effort, I shuddered at the cost of a decomp plate so only run low boost, 7psi but
this is worth 201bhp on the dyno 
I will see you at Lydden next week so come for a spin around the track.
Regards Mark

Again, as per other post, told it would end up i a pile of molten mess LOL . If its a 'mess around; and you've got another engine, go
for it. I,ve got a gas flowed head for a sc28, if you want it FOC

i am playin with supercharging thro bike carbs with an st170 engine. Things seem to be going ok. Its just a matter of ensuring you pressurise the
carbs and adjust the fuel pressure according to boost.
