Topic: Turbo charging the 836

[Jim F]

 If I wanted to Turbo my 836 for street use only
what would I need to change
I know I cant use my ARD Mag system because of the timing that needs
to change as the boost kicks in
what else guys?

thanks
Jim

Your underware. Sounds fast.

lower compression, cam with less overlap maybe, new exhaust, maybe have to take off those sweet cr's and use a single carb, depends on how fabrication you want to do for the intake manifold.

Jim,

With cooler weather coming on and great riding weather, you should plan on a trip 100 miles north. I want you to ride the CB750. It's all I want on the stock tires, brakes, and chassis. I've got an absolute mint ZRX1100 that I purchased new with 6,000 miles on it and the CB will run with it - I'm sure of it. I just am so pleased with the combination of porting, cam, and CR's all working together on this one - it's just a joy to ride.

If you want a cheap, killer project that's simple to work on - here's a 150+ horsepower widowmaker on pure air/fuel. We could get you a beater H2 like it and let it lay down the black marks for you. This was taken Saturday during the weld-up of the brackets. These are new TomCats and are the same pipes this motor's builder dyno'd 161 hp with. They are off and at the chromers for some bling. It will be ready next weekend.

Regards,
Gordon
