Can't wait to see this video when I get home from work!
Pretty interesting. We're definitely gonna need some more info. I can't tell exactly how the exhaust is run from that video.

Bloke was having MAP sensor issues due to positive pressure, same as you did.
I steered him your way for some advice, hope you don't mind!

I fried my ECU fixing that very issue -- if he wants the solution, I hope he has some deep pockets... wink.gif

none the less, i cant wait to see some specs and bike in motion videos...
Edited November 24, 2009 by CandyRedRC46I'd rather have a ToroCharger. Too much heat with Turbo's and I've seen way too many of them come apart working at Cummins, which just fills the engine with metal pieces.
I dunno about this on a VFR, but put this setup into a sub 1500lb car with stand alone engine management and you can have some real fun!

Hmm. Would have been nice to wait all day to see a ride video... can't really tell if it does anything besides make noise when it's standing still! :dry:
I was going to go this route, but as soon as I started to research it seriously, Dan came along and wowed us all with the Torocharger. It is such a beautifully engineered system (reasonable price as well: just look at what you get in other car and bike supercharger kits and you'll see), I can't fathom why anyone would want to go and develop their own custom turbo or S/C arrangement.
If I decide to go the forced induction route, the supercharger is the way to go if you ask me. Smooth power delivery and pretty darn efficient for a supercharger.
Each to their own, though.
Turbo set-up is still way cool and I love the sound and feel of the turbo whoosh.
I would love to see that bike move.
