fiting a blower to a bike

[Funkenfresh]

just out intrest...when fitting a blower(supercharger) to bike engine where do they run the main pulley off?? and whats involved in having a pulley installed??

[sharky]

Saw this in the uk BIKE mag I read on the plane...Takes the drive from the crank via the clutch unit.

what sort of prices would i be looking at to get a pulley made up from the clutch unit? as thats the main problem id have..

[Deano]

from what i am aware each drive is custom made. i don't no of an off the shelf drive arrangement.

what bike is it?

i have got a few emails and pics from richard at TTS in Uk as i was going to go the rotrex charger instead of the turbo.

he makes up a drive plate, outrigger bearing and pulley for each bike as they come in.

you will loose ground clearance if you come off the crank but depending on your riding style that may no be an issue.

[Deano]

if you cant design the drive your self and get it made at mates rates then i recon about $1000 would probably cover an machinest time to design and make all the components and machine and fit a pulley.

You may need to pull the crank out and machine or extend the end to mate to the pulley .. big job .. but dont be scared its not hard just time and money .. I've fitted up heaps of cars ( mainly gaydoors ) and its a piece of cake .. the only issue with bikes is getting to the crank .. What bike and which blower you gonna use

[Funkenfresh]

its an idea for me cbr 954, as for the blower i was thinking SC14, or AISIN AMR300(which mabee to small) what blowers do you guys recomend?
apart from extending the crank out.... my other biggest prob will be a intake plenum/airbox

[sharky]

I would get in touch with TTS in the Uk. It was there conversion I was reading about. They do them for most popular bikes......and hondas.

depending on how deep your pocket is.

probably get 200 very easily

the more boost the more money. if are looking for 200 odd hp you will probably be right without an intercooler, stronger clutch, undercut g/box and the olny engine mods will be lower comp by putting a spacer plate under the barrels and retime the cams.

big boost means intercooler/chargecooler lower compression, forged/turbo pistons, stronger rods, beefier clutch, undercut gearbox, the list goes on

you will have to fabricate a custom plenum and if you are wanting to run big boost you may need a secondary set of injectors in the plenum.

also a custom exhaust to go around supercharger and under the bike. custom up pipe/intercooler, work out if you can still use the std radiator with an intercooler, if not get/make another radiator.

custom inlet/filter for supercharger inlet.
also a computor to run it all and dyno time to tune it

guys like Exben & Booster no alot more about forced induction than i do and they will be able to offer more/better advice as they have the runs on the board already with proven turbo setups.

good luck

[Funkenfresh]

well tts said he cant help me...so if anyone knoews anyone else that can help.. its 03 CBR 954, and i need and pulley off the crank plus any parts that seal this up and a airbox/plenum....

[zedsled]

I'm looking for someone to make me a blower drive for my z900, If I find someone I'll let you know, but no luck so far.

[Funkenfresh]

well if worst comes to worster.... gonna have to go to local.. might get expensive though

Hey Abel

Try Veem engineering as I know Mark and boys can turn up pulleys etc as they do a fair bit of work with the drag racing fraternity at the motorplex

[Funkenfresh]

awesome thanks watto...

[Booster]

Isn't a sc14 going to be physicaly a little large ?
Also there rated at 1400cc/rev and so probably bigger than needed.
Where are you ? there's sure to be members nearby with experiance or skill to assist.

[Funkenfresh]

im in perth...
sc14 are a little large so i would like to retract my suggestion... thank you.. :P
what do you reckon is cheap and powerfull??

[Booster]

Not all that familiar with the model numbers on the superchargers, but my local importer has a line up of various sizes , i'm sure you could find same there .
i like the centrifigal superchargers for size and fitment , but there expensive compared to a s/h import supercharger.

[Slain]

have you looked at the sc12 off a toyota mr2, engine code was 4agze
let me know how you go as i have been trying to decide which forced induction to put on my 954, and also clutches etc :(

[Funkenfresh]

Faegol used to make bike specific blowers for bikes, at a very very good price.
