Default Check out Ebay...they always have turbochargers for motorcycles there...

...otherwise search the junkyards for a turbo from a mid 80s turbo Kawasaki (700 I think). Ask around and someone will know the model that it came on.

Default Those a generally for larger engines

Even a 700cc engine is 17% larger than the engine I'm toying with.

Default My memory is foggy .. getting old .. but the 4 main Japanese manufacturers all had turbo bikes,

ranging from (IIRC) mid 400cc to 750cc. I *think* Honda had a CS500 and a CS650. Might check motorcyle bone yards but I think you'll find them pretty rare.

Default Supah Secret

But basically, I want to take a 600cc engine (I think from a CBR600) with a restrictor (32mm maybe? not certain how small) from ~85HP to one w/more like 130HP. I was thinking a turbo would do the job nicely. It just has to be a really small turbo.
