OK guys - I'm looking for a draw through turbo for my KZ750. Don't even try to convince me blow through / injection is better !!! I'm going stone age here - SU carb and as few electronics as possible.
I know I need a turbo with carbon seals, or convert a dynamic seal unit. Not all that plentiful, especially on my meagre budget. A K03-50 ( Audi / VW ) has been suggested.
Why you may ask ??? A result of a late night telephone conversation with the main man over in the KZ forum , the availability of a good spare engine and a desire to go out with a flourish. There wasn't even any alcohol involved !
Plan is to use the part built "Tangerine Dream" Flat Tracker as a base and get it finished in time for Glemseck ( Germany ) this September.
I have all the relevant bits - clip-ons, rear sets, etc. Think mild street / strip drag bike. Initial plan was for a blower - but not enough time to sort out the packaging / drive etc, so it has to be a turbo. ( maybe a whiff of nitrous? ).
I'll be calling in as many mate's rates, favours etc as I can get away with to get it done in time.
All feedback, advice, encouragement gratefully received.
I won't elaborate on the reasons behind the decision - but it has to be done.
