SEBSPEED Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I have a friend in Finland who has built and is still building a number of turbo bikes. We are looking for a European or Scandinavian member to provide a loaner bike so he can create a kit for the 3rd & 4th gen VFR.Please speak up if interested. Bike will need to be delivered to Tampere, Finland.Currently, the goal is to create a mild state of tune, to retain the durability and reliability that drew us to the VFR to begin with. A 50% power increase is expected.I will add more to this thread over this weekend, just wanted to put the word out right now.Thanks,Seb Edit: here are some pictures of this builder's work 584hp twin charged GSXR Team member on this 7.5sec funny bike project 9.8 second Crew Cab(!)

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted January 4, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think Dan might be looking for someone to take over production of the A&A S/C kits. Any possibility of them being interested in that as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 I can ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm working on compiling some pictures and details of his work. His last personal build was a twin charged GSXR1100(old school air/oil cooled). Using a Blower and a turbo, custom fuel injection and mapping for the 10% Nitro/90% E85 ethanol blended fuel, he got 584hp at the wheel with stock internals. (!!)

douglasthecook Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Find Keny on the Forum, he lives outside of Hanko, Finland, and even though he has a 5th Gen, he may know someone that has a 3rd/4th Gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4 Rosso Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Isn't he also the guy on the far right in that pic of the Leningrad Cowboys? Seb: After prototyping, will the bike be shipped back with turbo kit installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Seb: After prototyping, will the bike be shipped back with turbo kit installed? Anything is possible, but it won't be free if that's what you're asking. I imagine that the bike supplier might work something out with the builder. The bike would, at minimum, be returned to the way it was delivered. I'm working on compiling some pictures and details of his work.

That sounds like a very expensive grenade. A 23,000 Euro grenade, to be precise. I'm working on compiling some pictures and details of his work.

Member Contributer rangemaster Posted January 4, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted January 4, 2014 From SEB: "A 23,000 Euro grenade, to be precise." No offense intended, (I'm assuming none taken) I've built some 'fun while it lasted' stuff in my time too. HIs craftsmanship looks to be impeccable.

SEBSPEED Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 None taken. There is even more than that in the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keny Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well, I migth work for a agency that do roadworthy tests for cars, yes, but bikes ar not tested here still, and seem they will not in a near future ither. So long as the cops dont get intrested and stop and make a problem of it, its not a big deal. So many illegal bikes on the streets..... I will see what I can do.

Member Contributer apexandy Posted January 7, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted January 7, 2014 I really like that the basis for this potential kit is to use a fairly conservative amount of boost for a decent power increase yet still retain reliability and ride-ability. Although I'm sure Tony is calling you a little girl for not using a turbo the size of a small moon hey Seb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnRC36 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I haven't logged on the forum in while and now that I did I find this. And the coincident is that I just so happen to live in Tampere so my bike is already here. I do however plan to ride my bike just as soon as the weather permits it and that'll be in three months time hopefully. I will be able to provide measurements and such though but I can't commit my bike to be the testbed for this kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
