I installed a turbo on my FZ6 a few years ago the results are fantastic. Engine runs strong no surge stutter bog anywere. All done with hand tools no custom machine work expensive ecm or dyno tunning used. I tried many things along the way fuel, timming, compression, boost level, gear ratios, piston coatings,air fuel ratio.
The problems you must solve to add a turbo are stock map sensor signal must
not see boost. engine will need more fuel 50% to 200% more. air box that will not leak,air charge cooling, oil supply and drain, blow off valve, welding for exhaust pipe,air charge plumbing, clutch to hold up to more torque and the most difficult part is were to mount all this stuff.
My goals were to make a good street bike first comfort, drivability and reliable. The end results of what works and cost summary.
Garret gt1548 turbo $600,Bell custom made intercoolers $250 each,synapse map block $60, pcv $250,lcd $250, air box $200,fuel regulator $50 ,bov $50,gaskets $200,clutch $150,Tig welder $300,Misc lines hoses used parts hose clamps fittings spark plugs oil coolant repair manuel books $800 it addes up fast. Reasonable do it yourself total around $3000.00 And nine months to assemble and fabracate all the parts. Hope this helps those of you thinking of installing a turbo.
