Have seen those v6 twin turbo ones pop up cheap quite a bit, can't remember what they're called though. 

 

V6 turbo volvo?

Oh @RUNAMUCK. The new Africa Twin is auto clutch now too. You basically have a RTW ready adventure bike!

Period wheels too!

Dreamy!

 

Pining for a ef xr6/8, starting to get a bit expensive though

Ill see if I can score some 32mm plate later in the week

Gotta be a solid 15hp now? 

When are you putting it on a dyno to see how much power it's making now

goes hard for what it is

Is there a cut off date? 

keen, but about to spend all my money on building. Will see what junk i can sell off in shed for pocket money.

Will you ride the gn down?

I almost bought a gn250 the other week but I'm not buying anymore projects

Just bore and stroke it to 200cc tho, hot camshaft, a cheaply NO2 kit

Laughing

It's a bit of a pain to get a big bore on these engines due to the crank case, one could do a bit of welding and machining to get a bigger bore in it

The super turbo amr500s have a wee pop valve on the plastic manifold. What I'm getting at here is run it full tilt, and just bleed the extra boost off with a comedic blow off valve

That just increases the parasitic load on the engine, blower needs to be operating at the correct speed

Problem with using a smog pump is they dont like fuel being drawn through them so would have to run blow through or fit efi

Does it matter how slow you spin the blower? If it was dropped down to 1/3 crank speed it wouldnt make too much boost

Amr300, or smog pump

Would an amr300 be too big for a 125cc? 

Is there any particular smog pump? Those vw mini roots blowers are expensive and rare

convert turbo to a super charger

It would need a gearbox on it to get the shaft speed upto 150k rpm

@RUNAMUCK how can I fit more atmospheres into my 125cc engine?

Its a slippy slope, trying to figure out how to get more ccs into my 125, might have to look into some barometric compensation

Can you use the dr crank?

to me it doesnt look like you can do that without then having to do some serious rebalance?

 

can apparently go up to 9mm offset but i dont know what different rod and piston they use (probably better cos you can get a better rod with more piston choice)

but with a suzuki parts bin rod you can just use the existing parts with a 5mm offset.

could have a plug put in and drill a new hole 5mm lower i guess

Just bolt that dr200 engine in

Who do i talk to about an offset crank pin. doubtful to find one on a shelf somewhere

just want 5mm offset thanks

I dont know how much it would cost but the guy I use for when stuff for work needs machining said it would be a piece of piss to make one

Oh they look sweet! Although my slight ocd leanings means I cannot ever accept mismatched wheels front to back.  Have you got a full set of the 5 spokes (that you want to sell to us?...)

Wouldnt the ocd be more suited to the 4 spokes so the bolt hole numbers match?

I'd rather the r36, never been a fan of the b6/7 s4. B5s are better or a later b8 but are more expensive

Yx140 at full tap for more than 5 mins vibrates enough to induce brown note symptoms 

Does it have rim locks? My xr only had one per wheel and vibrated like crazy at anything over 70k, i balanced them out with stick on wheel weights on the inside of the rim under the rim tape

I wouldnt touch a passat with a ten foot pole. Twice I've been sent out to deal with oil spills that once I've arrived at the address have been oozing out of passats.  

 

And because all passats are exactly the same
