Custom Turbo Build 2007 FXST
Hi All,
I am going to be building a custom turbo setup on my 07 Softail. I have been playing with turbos on cars and trucks for a while now, and have decided I want to play with one on a 2-wheeler.
I looked at the Trask kit, and though it is a very very nice kit, I do not have $5K to spend on it. I am no stranger to fabrication. I was just at the 1/4 mile Saturday night with my 91 GMC Syclone, which has a turbo'd lq9 Gen 3 Small block Chevy. It ran a best of 10.74 @ 125.9 with a 1.54 60', that is 93 octane on street tires in a street driven 3800+lb truck. I did all of the engine assembly, fabrication and tuning myself.
I bought this bike new (long story short my boss won 20k at our local harley dealer, i paid him 11k and he bought the bike with his credit and they titled it directly to me). I have a need for speed though, and it wasnt cutting it in stock form. I was ready to sell it and get a v-rod. BUT 1) wife hates the way v-rods look and 2) i get a retarded sentimental attachment to my vehicles, especially since this was and probably will be the only one i buy new. Soooo, i think the turbo will be the answer.
Anyway, on with the show. I will try to keep this thread updated with pics of my progress.
Here is what I started with this evening.
Had a little time so I started getting it apart...
I have a t3/t4 turbo and some other goodies ordered up. Ill keep this post running for this project.
