XV920 EFI Turbo.... Running!

[turbodog]

We may not be talking about the same problem.  My issue is that the collector, under the right footpeg, grounds in right turns under some conditions.  I did re-route the front header slightly to eliminate interference with the front tire at full compression (braking dive); that's no longer a problem.

Swagger, a few more items you will encounter if you do the front motor mount swap:
- No room for the coils in the original location.  I mounted them under the frame just in front of the rear cyl and just behind the front cyl.... might not work if running the stock carb setup.

- No room for a oil cooler at the front cyl head location.  That one hurts, since I had planned a cooler in that spot, dedicated to the oil going to the heads and turbo. Still pondering a plan "B".

Ah yes, different problem I guess. Not much you can do about that but move the collector or live with it.

I was looking at that area yesterday and thinking what to do. As for the oil cooler, I've been thinking of hanging mine under the headlight..

I just looked at the swingarm you chose.  Very cool.  It sure resolves the rear suspension forces neatly.   I'm curious what you have planned for the rear exhaust routing.  Except for that potential issue, I think I'd go that route for my NA daily driver when this rear suspension migrates to the turbo project.

The only caveat regarding the CBR setup is that the lower linkage anchor point will need to be pretty beefy since it;s taking all the force of the suspension. I will be fabricating my rear pivot section, likely welded from machined 7075 sections if I can manage the material costs this winter otherwise I'll use steel but will account for the additional strength required at that point.

I will be running 2-2 pipes, the rear will have to make a pretty decent turn right off the port probably to the right side where I'll run a short loop along the side and back under the carb and exiting with the muffler along side of the seat cowl or possibly routed under. I have a seat assembly and cowl from a Ducati 749 that I have been considering but I'm not totally sold. I like the idea of tucking either a pair of cans or one unitized "box" under the seat and I think if I make it myself I can keep the weight from being an issue up there. No room for anything under the sump unfortunately.

I may have to steal, er, I mean, take inspiration from your solution.  I made my aluminum undertail muffler for the turbo bike.  It's probably overkill, but, yeah, lighter than any factory piece, at least any within my budget.

Minor update.  All the hardware is mounted, wiring up the Megasquirt now.

Shortly after first start.  Megasquirt EFI, Yamaha Seca Turbocharger, Gold wing intake manifolds, GMC Typhoon injectors, Ford Ranger Fuel rail, etc, etc.
