Thanks for the help Vox! What brand/ model is the turbo you have selected? Where can I find a similar turbo? Thanks

I have a Garrett/Airresearch T2. Looking at E-bay, maybe carbreakers.

Saw a A2 garratt re-build kit on E-bay today or yesterday.

Good to hear you are still plugging away on this turbo!

Make sure you have good oiling for the T2.... I've got one on my Kawi Turbo and if taken care of properly they won't smoke. But if you boil the seals often (hard running on HOT days) she'll start to weep around the shaft.

This Turbo specialist in the UK may be of interest http://www.universal-turbos.com/head.htm

Interesting page that I ended up at starting from the above posted site.
Awesome video on ther listing the 3 main causes of turbo failure.
2 were oil(lack of, and contamination) and one was sucking things into the turbo itself.

Found a sponsorship PDF file from the parent company(US based) of the distributor(UK) posted above.
YOU gotta check out what they got.
It REALLY looks like they are on the leading edge of turbo tech, or I have been baffled with B.S.
Worth checking out their tech information on the turbos at least.

Wouldn't you love to use a FREE nice ceramic ball bearing turbo, a new waste gate, heck go for a intercooler if possible!

Don't miss the water injection kit they have as well.
gotta keep those temps down ya know.

I personally think you are one of a few on this board I have seen build their bikes that would have a good chance of sponsorship.
I am remembering right you race?

Depending on what I do with my next bike, i've got a list of sponsors to ask for sponsorship for in the future.
The salt flats are way too close to me.

looks good

I know, I know.......(very) old tread, but will blow some new life in it. While building my Japauto replica and my present build I still wanted to build another Turbo version. So collecting stuff now and will start building during the coming winter.

Already in house:
Good K7 engine
Garrett TB 1903 Turbo
shorter DOHC rods
Deep oilsump

Need to find:
Mikuni or S&S carb.

Other parts will be voxonda.com made. With my former Turbo had 1st time out 85 rwhp, standard engine just reinforced. And before tuning of carb.

Hey you might get lucky if you talk to Jleather, I think he still has a set laying around I sold him.

Thanks Soos,

But what I meaned is that I do have a set of these. Infact all of this except a carb. Have updated it in the meantime.

Regards, Rob

Going to use F2 frame with longer swingarm, for a bit more stability. Always easy to use parts that you collected over the years.

Rob

voxonda · « **Reply #111 on:** October 07, 2010, 01:32:35 PM »

Try fit to the plenum, will work (again):

Now need to find a suiting carb. S&S or, preferably a Mikuni.

Rob

HondaMan · « **Reply #112 on:** October 09, 2010, 09:16:40 AM »

Nice job!

That will even fit in these frames.

voxonda · « **Reply #113 on:** October 11, 2010, 05:45:52 AM »

Hey Mark,

Thanks. Am very Honda frame minded. Know it will fit, former one did also. Sold it too soon to really enjoy it. Hope this one will stay, somewhat, longer.

Cheers, Rob

HondaMan · « **Reply #114 on:** October 17, 2010, 09:42:21 PM »

How much for one of those fancy points covers?
It won't fit my bike (my customized case guards are too close), but I'm about to embark on another resto. A piece like that would add some real class to it...

voxonda · « **Reply #115 on:** October 19, 2011, 09:38:31 AM »

Well tho it is awhile back since posting in this thread wont start a new one but continue here. Since both my other builds are more or less ready, have started the build of another Turbo engined 750. This time a '78 F2 and again with the same setup.
Just because I really dig that old skool stuff.

Did you ever post some pics or vids of a completed running turbo bike? This stuff looks really exciting, Rob.

Can't say I have when the bike ran and was nearly done I sold it. Runs somewhere in Belgium now.
But this one will be finished before it goes. Promiss.

Cheers, Rob
