Supercharged VFR800

[Mockery]

I was reminded of this thread by the new discussion about turbo'ing a GSXR600. This is a complete home job, very impressive. I wasted about a whole day at work reading right through the whole thing...

Looks very professionaly done, Personaly I would be in constaint fear of the belt snapping and taking out my leg/arm.

would be awesome to do, theres a drz400 on the thumpertalk forums thats turbo&#39;ed. Pulling 57(?) hp at the rear wheel on low boost (6-7psi). Frickin awesome setup. Home jobbie too

Reckon Insane should be out the back shed working a conversion about now, huh Desmo ?

Well everyone on the VFR forum is alternating between hero-worshipping the dude and asking when he will make one for the 6th-gen&#39;s. It&#39;s slightly sickening to be honest...

How do you go about &#39;tuning&#39; the supercharger for VTEC. Coping with effectively 2 different cam profiles in the one engine must make it a bit difficult. You would need to compromise between the 2.

[Foofie Foofie]

Barfie, You loose the Vtec when going forced aspiration to do it right.

[Barfridge]

aah, fair enough. I thought it would be a bit tricky to do with it still in place.

Cheers for the info

1998 Model VFR is non-VTEC.

[Desmo]

Roots just kicked in yo!

I thought Vtec just opened all 4 valves over a certain RPM instead of using only 2???

If your going forced induction surely you&#39;d just have all 4 opening over the whole rev range

Yep it would be hard but this isn&#39;t a Vtec model! Vtec started in 2002; the first of the 800&#39;s still had the gear driven cams (which the Vtec doesn&#39;t) and a different chassis / running gear / fairing.

Supercharging the 1998 / 2002 model would be relatively easy and very cool!! With the sound from the gear driven cams and the scream of a supercharger - magnificent!!

Hey Mockery keep paying Norm out - he thrives on a good flagellation .... :-)
