TOPIC:

I read some of the past articles on turboing a kz900/1000 and was wondering how a t-3 42ar turbo would work on a stock very tight low milage 900??? I would run low boost of course not to blow the bottom end out either. As for the carbs; could I jet the crap out of the 26's to save $$$ or just buy a 42 mik?

The oil question? Could I just run from the oil cooler to the turbo back to the block or do I have to fab up a crazy sump from the pan area?

I just thought this could be cool project. I have access to the turbo and can fab myself. I know about the timing and fuel also.

Who all is from omaha????

omaha,wheres that from bellevue? theres a few of us here!

T3s don't work too well on bikes, the turbine is too large unless coupled with a T4 compressor on a 400hp monster. If you want a cheap turbo to suit a 900 with 200hp capability look for a T25. Blowing through the stock carbs is almost certainly a bad idea too, it can be done but it is a total pain in the ass to get right. Go for a draw through HSR42 Mikuni or EFI.

Sounds good I will keep that in mind. This is why; "its good to ask before you do"

Bellevue????? Just want to know who to hang with and parts and also just bull with.

im 3 blocks south of omaha here in bellevue. louisville is about 20-30 miles depending on what part of omaha youre in.

Yeah,

Im from Bellevue also. Right of 25th street.

30th and josephine!

I think I can hear a kaw in the pasture:woohoo:

the 2 i have up here are torn to pieces,thats why i keep stuff down south at my dads place in arkansas makes it harder to tear things apart! wait till world of wheels next spring,these 2 will be running and ill be working on the red 78 a2 that i took apart back in 87:evil:

brokekz, don't let him fool you.

he just takes them apart, and shows off old pics of them when they were still together. 8^)

omaha here as well, not a bellevue resident, but up north off of w/maple.

on topic, re the turbo: the hsr works great on a draw thru(same's mine), but ultimately i want to build injected/turbo'd kz.

i have ideas, plans, and absolutely NO time to start that project right now.
