Turbo Big Red 250 Project

[f22bcord]

Hey Boys,

Just thought i would let you all know my project .. i know some of you will say it will not work, im stupid ect..... lol .. but i need to try it for myself

as anyone ever seen a turbo big red?

I am in the process of putting mine on it right now , I am putting a small IHI turbo on it.

anyways i will post pics as soon as i can ..

let me know what you think about my project..

[Thorpe]

OOOOHHHH!!!!! I love the idea! I would love to do something like that to my BR!!!! I wanna see some pics!!!! :w00t:

[SYKO]

ACTUALLY yea there was a member here who put a turbo on a 200es and posted pics of it roostin some serious sand!

[f22bcord]

cool! ..

the only pics i have right now is the picture of when i was desiding were to install the turbo itself without beeing too obvious and in the way ..

this is the big red .. was bought from an 60ish man that only used it to go riding in the woods .. other than the ripped seat its in verry good shape

But ofcourse now the compressor is facing the other way ect...

i will post more pics when i get a chance ..

[Hoosier_Daddy]

Cool idea.

[coldfuzion76]

Be interested to see how this works. Been thinking about it for my 200x... After I get everything else fixed, anyway!

[f22bcord]

i will let you all know for sure .. i will show some more pics too ...

i am using a IHI RHB5 turbo , this is a small turbo that will spool up fast .. the wastegate is at 8psi .. with the pressure the exhaust has it will never reach that , should reach a 4-5 psi .. ... i will hook up a boost guage to see how much i am peak boosting

Hey Boys,

as anyone ever seen a turbo big red?



no, but Ive seen a Nicholson framed xl500 thats turbo'd.....


sounds like a great project:w00t: .....good luck:welcome:

[f22bcord]

ITS ALIVE!!! WORKS AWSOME FOR WHAT IT IS !!

No airfilter? How is the turbo oiled?



A little bit more explanation would be great :)

[f22bcord]

there is no filter yett , and no ''downpipe'' tail pipe as i havent had time to put them on yett

as for the oil , its a custom setup that a friend did .. not really sure how its done but it works awsome lol.. its a little oil box, and i know it has a little pump

[SYKO]

this is so vauge in all its descriptions... you need to tell everyone how its done as well as post some kind of video of how well it works... all we see is a big red with a turbo in back...for all we know your using it for a flux capacitor.....

[short4stuff]

don't piss him off boys, I told/asked him to post it here... lol

[SYKO]

so we get no action photos or video? any more information?

[boosted96cobra]

hmmmm.....

[coldfuzion76]

WTF????:crazy: That sucks, I was actually hoping this would turn in to something.

[MonroeMike]

hmmmm.....

How the heck did you find that, being almost 3000 miles away?

[mymint87]

no, but Ive seen a Nicholson framed xl500 thats turbo'd.....


sounds like a great project:w00t: .....good luck:welcome:


You need not worry ...........:welcome:

feeling let down a bit by the attention the builder got and the hype of a cool project.........only to find out he's selling out and turning the page?:welcome:

HERE'S A TURBO TRIKE:banned: and a FLUNKIE PIC FIX:banned:



MEMO TO 3WW disciples...:banned:

feel free to worship my Trike..........:lol: :lol: :lol:
I call it, "The Nick":postwhore :postwhore :postwhore

[outtaline]

Dude that is sweet I was wondering why you would want to turbo a turd anyways I love "The Nick" it is beautiful

[Macs]

buetiful trike mymint. Is that the nicholson with the xr500 engine?

[Macs]

no, but Ive seen a Nicholson framed xl500 thats turbo'd.....


sounds like a great project:w00t: .....good luck:welcome:



Nevermind, didnt see this posted.

[Tecate250]

Yeah it is funny how alot of emails from stuff Im trying to sell in Nova Scotia gets found by people way in the middle of the states. I think this idea is way cool and hope people here have not completly pushed him away. Seems pretty straight forward.

[SYKO]

well I say dont post something like this unless you plan on showing everyone how it was all done and how everything hooks up and works, then have some kind of finished video of it actually working.

I mean If i came in here and said I have a jet powered 200x and it does mach 5 and posted pics of a 200x with a jet engine and said it worked great then disapeared... you guys would wonder to!

I call BS untill I see a video of it actually moving.. If I see a vid I wont apologize but just congratuate on a good job.

SYKO....out

[outtaline]

dude I gotta call bs on the jet powered 200x (sarcasm)

[Tecate250]

Well I do not know how to make a vid. Just a few years ago I learned to post pics. Some people are still on dial up too. I have seen all kinds of topics that never get a vid. Hell Im still waiting on pic from a air cooled250r liquid cooled cylinder. Guess that is BS too.

[f22bcord]

here you go .. it was not fake ..

http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e158/93cord/?action=view&current=BigRed.flv

2 other members on here can confirm it worked good and everything ... a guy that came to see how it was made to do it on his ,, and the other is a member on here that bought it... why the trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro would i start a project like this and not finish it ..

[coldfuzion76]

That's killer. Love how you can hear the turbo spoolin! Glad we didn't scare you off!

[factoryX]

no other vids of this? maybe a quick spin down road or something?

[SYKO]

well im not apoligizin.... you came here and was like heres a big red.....heres a big red with a turbo... and posted a few edog type pics and left for a while.... ok.... well I can post my trike them my trike with a jet engine and say heres my jet powered 200x and leave and im sure i woud spark the same interest as you did.... still want to see some action vids!

[f22bcord]

i would give you an action vid .. but its SOLD!! ,.. maybe the new owner will post some ...

[factoryX]

well you suck, you post all this crap to only sell and expect the new owner to post a video or something, lame thread...

[SYKO]

well you suck, you post all this crap to only sell and expect the new owner to post a video or something, lame thread...


COSIGNED:mad:

[Russell 350X]

Did it actually give it a boost in power? I'm surpirsed it could even spool it very well. Whats the turbo off of?

[3some]

Thats an extremly large turbo for a 250cc engine. That is like the siz of a garret t-25 and that big enough for a 2000cc car engine. Whats the inducer wheel size?. How is the waste gate operated? Is it internal or external gate?.

[vector292]

hmmmm.....


http://moncton.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-ATVs-snowmobiles-1985-Honda-Big-Red-TURBOCHARGED-Yeah-Its-Turboed-W0QQAdIdZ130314716 haha monctons were i live.:lol:

[redneck250es]

haha monctons were i live.:lol:

want a cookie?:TrikesOwn

[big yeller]

well this tread did give me a ideal i never thought of though. im really in to diesel performance...know quiet a bit about turbos. now the question is where i could find a turbo that has a turbo with with a flippin small enough exhaust housing and compressor wheel for a 200 cc engine and how much fuel it will require with the added air what size of a jet. how to oil it...seperate tank with a electric oil pump??? how much air can you put to it till it pops a headgasket. would i have to lower the compression ratio. possibly a intercooler off of a volkswagen bug tdi also. has any one done this and made it work??? that shure would be cool a three wheeler with a turbo.

[factoryX]

there was a couple,I found this one on youtube: lt230 with a turbo running 17 pounds of boost and methanol : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZuHjr2vQa8

[sorefirst5]

would love to see more of this project in details? kinda feel like we are just being teased

[Grizzlypeg]

This project looks bogus. That turbo so far from the intake makes no sense. If the turbo draws through the carburetor, it would never idle having to draw through all that contraption before it reaches the cylinder. Alternatively, if the turbo blows through the carburetor, he would need a pressurized carb, presurized fuel system, and a fuel pressure regulator that matches carb need fuel pressure to added match boost. I see no indication of such sophistication. I used to have a turbo 650 bike and I can tell you its no simplicity to just turbo a gravity flow carb engine. It needs pressurized fuel even with a carb to flow against boost pressure instead of venturi vaccum. He probably just has a turbo charger hooked up to his exhaust outlet. If it simply blows into the airbox or carb the mixture will go lean and fuel delivery will stop the moment it develops boost. Fuel can't flow downhill against pressure and still meter properly or flow at all.

Edit: Looking at the pictures in his album, it appears to be a blow through system. If you pressurize the airbox inlet to the carb, the second you have any boost, fuel will stop flowing into the venturi. The more you give it boost, the leaner the mixture will get, and the second there is any boost of consequence, fuel flow will stop altogether. You got to remember the fuel has to flow downhill from the gravity feed of the fuel tank, and that flow is easily disturbed by the least pressure, secondly if its still vented to the atmosphere, the fuel in the float bowl that is at atmospheric pressure due to the vent, can't be drawn into the venturi against boost. He'd need a closed system operating at boost, and a pressured fuel system that varies pressure with boost to maintain continuous fuel mixture. Either that or a high pressure fuel injection system that compensates for boost. Anyone see that level of sophistication in this project?
