Blow me - Motorcycle turbocharger kit
Found on another site --
http://www.dhgate.com/big-discount-turb ... tml#ctabBo Looks interesting but if you read more and investigate, like one commenter on the other site said - "That's a bilge blower from a boat. Lots of volume but no pressure". Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Blow me - Motorcycle turbocharger kit
I'm sure the blower works in it's designed environment but on a bike it likely wouldn't be worth it if it was free. Nice little item for a boat owner though.

Re: Blow me - Motorcycle turbocharger kit
These types of things keep popping up on the car sites too. The "better" ones are inline blowers, both chugging 14,000 rpm mini fans. They flow enough air to lift up a tennis ball, but I don't see them offering significant "boost", which is what they are supposed to do if they are going to call themselves turbos.
Not to say that there may not be some type of minimal power increase, as we all know that the "Ram Air" tech that was on some Pontiacs worked while on the highway. But with smaller boosts like these fans offer, I would be interested to see if the draw on the electric system would actually counter balance that... Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Blow me - Motorcycle turbocharger kit
I hate to be the reality check since this goes without saying, but any performance modification that's called "big discount turbo charger DIY Turbo-500 Turbo motorcycle parts Electronic turbocharger" and features a specifications list such as:
" Electric Motorcycle turbocharger, Specifications 20w.30w.40w.50w.60w.70w.80w.90w. Mini cars were electric turbocharger Specifications 100w.250w. Inlet outlet diameter of 50 mm in diameter; 35mm.36mm.40mm.42mm.44mm.50mm. Maximum power turbine / mouth air pressure 10000Pa Maximum power turbine / 0.5 kg of thrust out of the wind" is not real. It's a test to see if you're retarded. |

Re: Blow me - Motorcycle turbocharger kit
I posted that more as satire or sarcasm or a joke rather than as a legitimate worthwhile accessory. I wouldn't expect it to do anything of significance, other than lighten your wallet which could make the bike go faster.

Re: Blow me - Motorcycle turbocharger kit
Think I could wire this into my handle bars so I could get a nice breeze next time I ride?
