gidday fellas ive got a thumpster here i used to ride (dont anymore, had a run in with the boys in blue) and since i dont use it i wanna slap a turbo on it for some fun. i was thinking maybe a little turbo off something like a charade or 2.2 letre jackaroo, u know something small. does anyone have any idea how id cool it whilst running it, ive read some turbos are oil cooled and so on. i would also put a boost controller on there and run minimal boost so the engine doesnt disintergrate.
this is a project id love to do so if anyone knows something that might point me in the right direction on how to do all this id appreciate the help
thanks fellas , ill post pics up wen im finished
oh and if anyones got any small turbo they wanna get rid of post wat it is up here and a price
thanks.

go on ebay the sell electric turbos for thumpsters, as for a small turbo of a charade or something its pointless just wasting your hard earned money. just my 2 cents

A charade or simular turbo will still be way to big.

cappaccino turbo is as small as they get.
if you run a bleed valve with a suckthough carb setup the air you bleed is wet with fuel.
anyone say fire?

You would be better to have a nitros wet system setup on the bike, using a 12v drycell home alarm battery to control the fuel pump and solenoids.
Personally i cant see the turbo spooling anytime soon lol...
Good luck with it anyway.

25-09-06, 21:38 GMT+10#17 yeah they prob did a dodgy job.
wouldnt wanto go use the bike for what its actually supposed to be used for (dirt tracks), the only thing you could use it for is riding on roads or sidewalks

25-09-06, 22:00 GMT+10#18 not worth it, surely you would be better off spending your cash on a new 138cc engine?
btw wonder if the owner of that bike has any hair on his right leg
