[QUOTE="d.evil, post: 1337161, member: 23501"] Figured I would start a thread on my little project we have been working on for a couple months. It started out life as a Doodlebug mini-bike from Kragens with a little 3hp engine on it. That was quickly removed and swapped with a 6.5hp engine from harbor freight. During the install of that we added a billet connecting rod, a cam with more lift / duration, and a Mikuni slide carb. I've always wanted to build a turbo mini bike, and figured this would be the perfect platform to finally do it. I sourced a knock-off IHI RHB31 turbo on eBay (smallest commercially available turbo) and went to work. Currently we are setting it up as a draw-through system, but that may change once its together. I have read that it is hard to get to run right with this arrangement, but will give it a try for now. On to some pics! Rough mock-up: [ATTACH=full]161329[/ATTACH] Up-Pipe building: [ATTACH=full]161330[/ATTACH] Finished Up-Pipe: [ATTACH=full]161331[/ATTACH] Header Mock-Up: [ATTACH=full]161332[/ATTACH] Intake Plumbing: [ATTACH=full]161333[/ATTACH] Header Done: [ATTACH=full]161334[/ATTACH] Fuel Cell: [ATTACH=full]161335[/ATTACH] Battery box & final boost gauge location: [ATTACH=full]161336[/ATTACH] Thats where it sits as of now. Just need to finish the oil pump mount, wire that up and do final assembly & hope it starts! Once its running it will get torn back down for a new seat cover and the frame / forks / fender powder coated. I'll post more pics as progress continues. [/QUOTE]
