Thats what I was leaning toward. I am mechanically inclind but I would need a kit that has everything I would need. Is it sold as a complete kit or do you have to buy it piece by piece? If so what are the pieces?
you need a good full exhaust, I believe the 1397 pistons and block exchange itself are $1000...some mild cams and then some port work. I'm not motor expert but somebody might be able to squeeze out 200RWHP with higher compression ect....but I would think if you did the build yourself you could get away with $3000 or so....I would much save a few hundred more and do a stage 1 turbo that made 230-280RWHP depending on how you set it up
Thank you for the info, my new question is with a turbo is the bike still dependable? I have 40,000 miles on a 2007 and most of my rides don't end until 200 miles atleast. I would love the power but I still want to know my bike is not going to fail. It seems making the engine bigger would be more dependable since nothing is forced its just a engine breathing on its own, however, I have never delt with any type of turbo so any facts on this would be greatly appreciated.
wow you do alot of riding If I was riding as much as you a RCC stage 1 turbo is what I would be purchasing and here is why. Getting N/A power takes larger pistons, larger cams and other internal modifications. The turbo you can actually just bolt right on and your motor runs as designed and will run like a stock bike out of boost....no to mention with 6-7lb you will be making a solid 30HP-40HP more than what you would out of a motor build. I think most would be in agreement that a turbo is a MUCH better option for the type of riding you do. With the a big bore and slightly larger cams, pistons, headwork ect...you will get worst gas mileage for sure. The key to the whole thing is purchasing a HIGH QUALITY TURBO SYSTEM WITH GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. You really should give Richard at RCC turbos a call. He sells refurbished stage 1 kits also. There are people out there with stage 1 turbos on bikes with over 50K miles You can slap the stage 1 right on or lower the compression through a base spacer and add some head studs and run a few extra Lb's of boost of 93 octane pump gas. The stage 1 will get you an honest 250RWHP
Thank you this is exactly the type of info I was looking for Now I just have to save save save and hopefully get enough to start looking within the year. Maybe a winter project for next year getting too many 40+ degree days to think about tearing it down now. I want more power but if its above 40 I gotta ride
