Gs850 + boost?

[Steve]

That "GSX1100 turbobike" must be something aftermarket, as the only turbo bike that Suzuki offered was a 650.

You would have to track the source of that thread to see where they found the pump gears.

A serious suggestion;
Look into ditching the shaft and put a chain conversion on. It's been done, but I don't have the info to hand. It's not as easy as on the Kwack 750, which had a removeable front bevel box, but once you remove the front drive bevel gears, you're confronted with a splined shaft sticking out of an oil seal from the crankcase, which will accept a sprocket (even if it has to be machined up). The remaining parts of the bevel box housing can be chopped away.
I don't know what chain swingarm would fit, but for sure some engineering will be needed.
As far as the crank goes - I'd weld it for sure. I've successfully twisted an 850 crank, much to my surprise.

could the same be done on the 1000?????

 

[JJ]

To be completely serious, neither are good candidates for turbocharging. Go find a chain-drive bike and boost it.

Just keep sawing, welding, and generally ruining the 850 and 1000 until you two finally give up and part them out. Or, perhaps you'll do like 95% of the "customizers" and put them on Craigslist for 20X what they're worth.

Deffo; the 1000 and 1100 shafties were the main recipients of this surgery, but the casings are the same design.
Google around; you will find it somewhere. I'd go so far as to say somebody wrote about it on here at some point.

Finnaly lol it took me almost an hour to figure out how to do that!!!

jj, theres nothing wrong with shortening the frames like we have. no need for that kind of crap on my posts please.

How close does that tail section sit to the tire when you have it loaded up? What is up with those handlebars?

 

[BurntKittyForge]

Okay, here's a serious reply

All the G models have a wear issue with the splines in the rear wheel. I'd replace that, regardless of how it looks.
Then, U joints and the carrier/output shaft
Then, the outer clutch basket should get welded up
Crankshaft? Hard to know whether these were beefed up, as 850s rarely gain more than 10 HP from stock, and so I doubt that there's much data on that.

As all of these other jokers have mentioned, the 850 is an odd bike to turbo. So, start a build thread on it.

Been wanting to ask about this (in a seperate post even, But sometimes there's a little good [someplace])...

Do you mean the rear wheel? OR the rear of the driveshaft OR driveshaft case rear portion OR whole "thing"?
I've been very interested in this since there's a few parts /parts bikes decent shape around , seem to dry up quick...my GSX1100G has 30K miles and hoping to keep it a long time.
Also if there's any other parts that would be a good idea to have handy ?
Thanks very much in advance. And for other info. as well.

I was looking at link from Grimly's post # 27, dunno if the '94 was outside USA only or what, because I've only seen "91,'92,and '93 "
Also the HP at rear wheel should be about 108. There's even a few dyno-test vids on utube...
Mine has RS carbs (140/20 jets), pods, 4-1, not even tuned properly and I've honestly gotten the front wheel off ground TWICE UN-intentionally. Has a lot of fork rake compared to others too...now really worried about wearing out something...

Wife yapping at me now, atleast day wasn't a total waste IF get answer...Thanks
LOL maybe some hijack but atleast I don't have any opinion about yur STUPID project ,BTW!

There's nothing wrong TO YOU. Some will disagree with you.

Are those bicycle handlebars?

Good luck to you and your friend with your projects.

BKF, not sure what you are asking here. You start by saying you are going to ask a question, then post several PARTS of questions. "Do you mean the rear wheel?" Do we mean WHAT about the rear wheel?
"OR the rear of the driveshaft ..." What about the rear of the driveshaft?
"OR driveshaft case rear portion ..." What about the driveshaft case rear portion?
"OR whole "thing"?" What 'whole thing'?

I, for one, can not understand what you are asking about these various parts.

Sorry about your wife yapping, but you might get a better answer (and quicker) if you at least asked a proper question (or four).

Well, that's 30 seconds I'll never get back.

The video is 1:29 long, I don't know how I made it as far as I did.

And what does that have to do with the subject of boosting a GS? :-k

[Blower]

Forget turbo and install a supercharger. No need to think about oil pressure for the turbo because Eaton superchargers have no oil circulation.
You can install the supercharger (Eaton M45) behind the cylinders and use for example S&S Super D carb on the sc intake.
I have supercharged GS 1150 http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?202851-Third-time&highlight=supercharger

It doesn't get too close to but the license plate bracket will need to be bent. Also the handle bars are clubmans and without anything on them they look kinda goofy

 

[JJ]

Clubmans are goofy-looking regardless....

 

[thebrandonbeezy]

I agree, ill be switching to clip ons down the road

 

[Guest]

It has GOOD tires to be able to stick to the wall like that. :encouragement:

Lol! I was thinking the same thing. Makes it easy to work on certain things, but damn!...fluids everywhere.

Nice looking old Z.

Look at what BKF wrote, and Who Dat's response.
