I'm looking to turbo my gs1k but don't know what to expect as far as money and trouble are concerned. Is it worth it and how much HP will I gain?
 
You will need a kit for a GS1100 and a intake manifold for a KZ with a adapter plate between the head and manifold. I had a old ATP kit on a almost stock GS 1000 / 1026cc ,KZ clutch basket , welded crank and APE valve springs Ran 5.29@129mph in the 1/8 mile in a home built drag bike .About 230 hp @ 25 lbs boost

25 pounds? Are you f-wording serious? I'm looking for something ridiculous so I can do 25 pounds but how many passes would that last?...is it reliable enough to race all the time without having a backup motor? Where can I find these parts?
 
P.S. This is my first turbo job and my 5th ride on the stable currently. I'm not a noob trying to do this to my daily rider. I'm just not schooled in the turbo arena.
 
I raced the bike for about 5years almost every weekend @ 17 t0 20 lbs ran 5.40s @ 120s almost no damage but one rod bearing was loose, replaced the crank and rods .The engine had MTC 1026cc 1mm over pistons. it was more like 210-220hp
 
I dunno what the .... anyone said here but I want one....\\:D/

220 hp - oooohhh yehhhhh
 
Hey, Phark,

I know it's not a GS, but here is the best picture I can find real quick that shows what they are talking about: \\:D/
