Stopped next to an old Kawa 750 Turbo, not sure what model. This bike came stock from the factory with a turbo.

Seems like a craze in the eighties, not much turbo's around today as bikes are allready quick but still popular in cars. So I was wondering from the engineering guru's how difficult is it to put a turbo on a bike ? I'm getting hold of a second Bandit with seized crank and my mind is allready thinking about some projects  ;D Maybe use the other bikes pipes to build a turbo setup. I have even seen people put a turbo on a DRZ 400 !

Check the crazy vid ->

What size turbo would a inline 400 require and what engineering needs to be done ?

And the good stuff  >:D :drif:
