Merry Christmas Timbowe , thank you for those great pictures , They really help my day when I see them. We have snow, and I like to ski,and I skiid today, but seeing your bike out makes me want to ride my bike where you live right now. The bike is great looking, you have used just the right colors and bling to really make it stand out. You may own many other bikes, but this one you will never forget.

Oi, Mr Saner,

What's this turbo page about? Are you planning to put a turbo on a KX5?

I don't like nice weater and sand and stuff. I prefere to be stuck in this rainy and wet country. I like the pictures and the bike though.

Hey Timbowe are those pro circuit dog bones. They look longer than my stock ones. I've been thinking about getting a pair while they are still available.

Hehe, that would be pretty insane for the 4 seconds the motor would last. lol.  A 2 stroke would pop in no time, although my father turbocharged his Suzuki Hayabusa motor (obviously a 4 stroke).  It's a very unique car.  He has a Westfield Super 7 with a boosted Busa motor in it. We dynoed the thing at 390whp. The whole car weighs 928lbs.  Needless to say, absolutely nothing can touch it on the road.  

The turbo page is our other business. We manufacture and rebuild turbochargers.  We sell out of Connecticut, but our manufacturing plant is in Alabama.

 Saner I am building a similar style of 7 type car. A fraser 7. Toyota 3sge on Weeber carbs. 580 kg 225 hp.  Those Westfeilds are insane! What about the twin engined Hyabusa powered ones?! 0-60mph in under 3 seconds.!

A turbo from a honda CX650 turbo would be about the right size for the KX500.  Some of the 800cc triple snomobiles around here are about 160hp stock and get to 250hp with the turbo. Especially nice way to preserve your power at high altitude. They start out at about 2500' and often get to over 10,000' in one ride. Cam.

Nice, Tim! My dad used the 4AGE Toyota engine and Keihin (custom motorcycle-car setup) carb setup in the Westfield before he put in the Busa.  Great power!  http://www.fiveofus.com/Dad/Page2.htm I'll have to find some pix of the Busa motor in it.

The twin engine Busa ones are out of control! Have you ever seen the custom made V8 Busa motors? Essentially what they do is graft 2 Busa motors together.  The thing sounds like a formula 1 car!   Check out this link, http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2005/02/09/hayabusa-v8-engine

Do you have any pix of your project? I'd love to see it!
