Member Contributer toro1 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Member Contributer Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks for the compliments everybody. I know the 6th-gen guys are wondering when their kit will arrive -- it's coming. I need to get the 5th-gen kits up and going first, and then the 6th-gen will come in and we'll adapt a kit to it. The bikes are very similar so it shouldn't take too long to make the necessary changes. If you are a 6th-gen owner in the PA area and would like to be a guinea pig, let me know. Whatever became of the intercooler idea? Not enough room on the bike? Plumbing nightmare? Rob, the intercooler idea is still alive (the kit was indeed designed for it), but yes, there is not much room and it is a plumbing nightmare. The biggest drawback is the expense; that is, how many people would be willing to spend an extra $1k-$1.5k for a 10-15hp increase when the kit already puts out 160whp? If that answer is quite a few people, then I'll put it into production. It really does run quite nicely though on regular pump gas, and if extended boost situations arise (racing, long dyno sessions), then some octane boost or a little racing gas will prevent any detonation/pre-ignition from occurring.

Baileyrock Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Nice work Dan!!! Would you please start a New Thread for your Kits and just link this one for anyone who wants history. This one is huge and time consuming to find the nitty gritty. Thanks BR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Wow. It's done! Awesome! :goofy: Maybe I'll win the lottery before the 6th gen kit comes out! :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer PhatPat33 Posted March 2, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 2, 2009 Whoa, that is cool! Nice work from start to finish, pre-planning to fit and finish to the YouTube vid.

Member Contributer chonsey Posted March 2, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 2, 2009 Wow! When the 6th gen kit comes out, I'm on board for sure! As fast as my money is loosing value, I may as well spend it while it's still worth something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vanion2 Posted March 2, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 2, 2009 Before the "new" thread begins I have a question: Is the boost on the pulley fixed? Or is it possible to bring it down a bit? Basically I am thinking 50-60 hp would be too much for what I need. Yes, I want one but I don't do wheelies or race squids. I just want my bike to accelerate like my R6 used to as it always made me smile. For her weight I think 20-30 hp would be more than enough. Just curious mind you. I know that would probably mean a new pulley or even a smaller SC but since you haven't started on the 6th gens yet I figured I would ask. :fing02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Vee-Ef-Ar Posted March 2, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 2, 2009 Speaking on behalf of Mr M. Max... he would like to know if there is a red switch you can activate and deactivate the supercharger? :fing02: :goofy: Nice work Toro :laugh: He came, he saw, he conquered. {claps} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Even better than expected (and I think we can all agree, Toro set the bar pretty high from day one - but he has wildly exceeded any expectations). Looking forward to seeing a few of these beasts roll out over the next few months :fing02: (and FWIW, I'd be happy to see a portion of my VFRD donation go towards a "Blow Slammers 5th Gen" fund , he sure does a lot for us with this site) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JES_VFR Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 All right, That looks great. Now I just have to sell a bunch of stuff, each cans of tuna for a few months and decide which kidney I really don't need. Seriously, I'm there Dan and you know it. I was hooked just from the day I was out chasing after you. I just have to pull the $ together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer AvalonRacing Posted March 2, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 2, 2009 How about a VFRD Torocharger raffle for the first kit. :fing02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinith Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 How about a VFRD Torocharger raffle for the first kit. :fing02: I think HS should win a kit... after all... it's his site that host the effort... I couldn't help but to burst out into maniacal laughter when I saw that dyno chart. Damn. I want one so badly, but there's no way I could scrape up that kind of money any time soon. Someday I will have one though. Just as soon as I can justify spending as much on a mod as I did the bike itself. Well, more actually...

Member Contributer arrow Posted March 3, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 3, 2009 Gooooo Torrrooooooo!!!! My best wishes, I hope you can sell as many as you can make! I have a 6th gen. and I am seriously thinking about getting your kit when it becomes available. I just need to convince my (usually very reasonable) wife though :fing02: .

Member Contributer toro1 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Member Contributer Share Posted March 3, 2009 Seeing as how this thread has now run the complete gamut from prototype design to production kit, I have decided to close it. Fear not, for the latest news & discussion, please check out the following thread: 5th-Gen '98-'01 Supercharger Kit As more information becomes available for the 6th-gen kit, I will update this post. --Dan A&A Performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AreOut Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 any chance for making supercharger kits for RC24/RC36?! There is no electronic injection on those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted August 10, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted August 10, 2013 This is a very old thread. Toro has stopped making the supercharger kits, you would have to make your own ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted August 11, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted August 11, 2013 Or check the for sale section..... I did inquire about putting the 6th gen kit on a 5G, was looking at that one for sale too. The basics of Dan's reply were: The only parts in common between the two are the Rotrex itself, the airbox, the idler pulley, and the crank connector/timing pulley. It's not impossible, but from following the threads you should have a pretty good idea at the level of work needed to complete such a conversion. Meaning it's beyond my capabilities or level of interest. I'd be better off buying the kit and a 6th gen to mount it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamaleon Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Is there a 6th gen available out there?? If it is, i would be interested! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
