i cant see any need for multi throttles on a turbocharged engine apart from if the oe inlet is restrictive. on a let a homemade inlet/plenuim with a larger throttle body would be just as effective/ more so

ah, didnt think about it, not clued up on turbos.
just asked as my mate is building a 2.1 turbo'd zetec motor on throttle bodies for his mondeo as he blew his normal 2.0 bodied motor.

has anybody on here got a LET with bodies, what gains did you get?

Its not jsut about the TB inlet. Airflow INto the engine should be smooth and although the standard LET inlet is good for 400hp, if you want more to get in faster and smoother, you need a new inlet.

Some LET inlets. Its not a cheap thing as most are custom built. Has been done plenty of times though...

Why? Will only be good in a straight line? Totally un-usable power.

Sorry, don't get bike turbo conversions at all unless its for a drag strip.

i didnt know you could get turbo conversions for road bikes lol

VXR is right though, as much as i'd like to turbo my ZX6 I wouldn't fancy going round a corner and the turbo kicking in lol

Aye, go on youtube and look for GhostRider.... He's got a turbo'd motor pushing nearly 500bhp.

He chases sports bikes, up to 150+mph, drops the clutch, pulls a wheelie (just sheer power), goes past still accelerating sports bike on 1 wheel.

Think it has been gun'd at over 215mph (airstrip), but its a naked streetfighter bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drag bike....

Ghostriders bike.... Look at the brakes on the f-ing thing
