Answer 2

Very difficult to find a turbo for a motorbike, especially in India, not only because nobody (else) wants it but also because the engine capacities of motorbikes are too small. You need a significant volume of exhaust to get the turbine to move and work the compression.

And after that, to make sure you dont have any serious engine problems, you need to cool the air before it gets into the engine. No place for an intercooler on a little bike. Your best bet for trials is to take the turbo from a decommissioned/totalled Indigo (after 2004) and see where in the exhaust circuit they have mounted it.

Find a good fabricator and chrome plating chap in your city.

Answer 3

That's quite a creative idea! I'm not sure what kind of bike you have, but I imagine that it would be a really *interesting* ride when the turbo kicks in and gives you a big surge of power as the engine winds up. You might want to put a couple of extra inches on the rear swingarm to help keep the front down. Most bikes don't have a surplus of cooling either, so you may need to do a little work there, too. You might try Holley (http://www.holley.com).... Post a picture before you ride it the first time!

Depends on your motorcycle. I gather that you live in India so your options may be limited outside of the internet/importation market. Here in America turbos are relatively rare but available, though they tend to be geared towards bikes which already create relatively large amounts of horsepower such as liter class japanese sportbikes and high performance Harleys, Hayabusa and V-rod for example. Turbo kits are usually made by small market fabricators and custom shops and probably (undoubtably) void your bike's manufacturer warranty upon installation. Unless you plan on drag racing your bike the extra 100 or so horsepower wont do much except drastically increase your probability of demolishing yourself at highspeed and cost you $2000-$3000+ dollars US. But if it's what you want and you're able to find a system for you, then go for it. Good luck and happy riding.

Answer 5

Well that's quite ambitious of you to try something like that.. In India atleast, people have experimented with NOS on Cars since they are more stable with 4 wheels but on bikes its very dangerous.

U can port your cylinder for extra power and tweak u'r carb for more petrol inflow since u'r ported already. This will increase u'r power by atleast 4 - 5 bhp but u can strain u'r engine for too long else u'r piston might seize or burst.

Are you sure you want to go through with this? Check out this turbo 600 motorcycle video from youtube.
