Motorcycle Turbo Manifold

3 роки тому

I decided that my Yamaha Bolt XV950 needs to go faster. It's a great bike, but it could be greater. Check out how I built a full stainless custom tubular manifold from scratch!

@Bishop_Heahmund 2 роки тому

What kind of turbo did you use? I want to turbo my Honda Shadow VT 750 and I've looking on ebay for cheap turbos between 100-200 Euros. All of the turbos I found were for 1.3-2.0L car engines, are those too big? I don't really care about massive power gains, do you think turning down the boost would be enough to not blow up my engine? Also did you add cooling to your bike/turbo?

@arunmfive 2 роки тому

@@Bishop_Heahmund There's no turbo too big for an engine.

@Bishop_Heahmund 2 роки тому

@@arunmfive depending on how long you want to keep the engine and whether you want to do excessive modification such as changing compression ration, additional cooling etc

@Bishop_Heahmund 2 роки тому

@super hessu thank you for you tipps, I was thinking the same. I am considering buying a garret g12 or gt15 for my honda shadow 750. Should I install additional oil cooling? (It is already watercooled)

@Bishop_Heahmund 2 роки тому

@super hessu the compression is 9.6:1, so not too high (many other modern bikes have like 12:1 or 14:1)

@nicholasdigiacomo636 Рік тому

Not sure if someone mentioned this already, the issues with your camera could be caused by proximity to your tig welding. High frequency welding does tend to generate some impressive RF output. That RF can be involuntary inducted into microelectronic components. I hope this helps. Your videos are super informative and greatly appreciated. Thank you for your work.

Would have loved to see you do this to a 2003 Buell XB, the hole in the frame where the airscoop attaches was originally designed for a turbo air supply. HD wouldn't let him build it with a turbo but the frame was already complete and kept the hole. Or so the story goes. Glad to see more videos from you!!!

@boonboom3528 2 роки тому

I’d recommend a Dynojet PowerCommander 4. It has a baseline, and from there you can simply add or subtract numbers on the graph which is broken down to 500's of rpm, 1k, 1.5k, 2k, 2.5k etc. it’s really easy to use and you can save your maps and install a toggle switch too

@gordowg1wg145 3 роки тому

I can't express how good it is to see someone doing it properly using welded in, carefully selected, bend sections rather than use the over-used wank pie and lobster cuts. Those who know will appreciate your work! 👍 The only thing better would be bending them out of single pipe lengths. On that, are you going to leave the welds exposed, or grind and polish them back for a (slightly weaker) smooth, one piece appearance?
