Looking for a small displacement turbo.

I mean real small.

Diesel 450cc 3600 rpm max

Any ideas on a grassroots solution

Weren't there some turbo bikes in the 80's? And I know there's at least 1 turbo jetski/wave runner thing out there.

Yeah, Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda all turbo'd 650cc bikes.

Ever seen the stock turbo on a StarQuest? May be about the perfect size for this.

Kubota uses one on one of their small diesels. Not sure what size, but you might google it.

That's a rather common thing around here. Keep us informed, please.

That's what you'll want. The bike turbos will be IHI RHB 3's, and far too big. My buddy turbo'd his DRZ 400, and used a tiny little turbo from a diesel tractor.

Current ideas,

diesel UTV

Tractor pull tractor

train

6x6 amphib

Support equipment scronged will determine the direction, but I really just want to turbo this thing.

hehehehe

I always thought it would be a good/bad idea to buy an old street bike, and strap one of those Chinese diesels on it.

Kind of low budget, scabbier version of that. That's the Diesel KLR, no?
