i am thinking putting a turbo on my fz6. has eneyone on the fotum did this. just looking for some opinion or some info.
+1Just buy my fz1 if your looking for more power. MUCH cheaper than a turbo kit
Well, 2 ways you can do this, if it's possible...
1: toss a turbo on it, drive it 1 day blow your engine, be searching CL for a new bike
2: do it the right way and upgrade your inner engine parts before you attempt the turbo
Yamaha makes there engines certified to be able to hand a certain amount of stress. By forcing more air into the engine to create more violent explosions, you are creating more stress/heat. So, typically when one tries to put a turbo on something they upgrade the inner workings first so that the engine can take the stress without doing damage. also you may have to look into a better cooling system... more heat means more expansion, and on liquid cooled engine the tolerances are already very fine on these bikes...
All of this of course, costs money, it isn't cheap.
That being said i think the FZ has plenty enough arse for me lol
