Howard, I believe the 70HP rating was on a stock engined Raptor at only 7lbs of boost. BAD465 is probably pretty close with his 120HP guess with a highly-modded motor and 14.7lbs of boost. Theoretically every 14.7lbs of boost will double an engines HP. Assuming the cylinder head and valvetrain can flow enough to support the power.

 

well if it does it looks like I may have to buy one too!!!! turbo'ed nitromethane nitrous injected rappy you think it will stay together?????? 14psi wow damm head gaskets can barely stay together with high comp piston!!!!

 

I saw a real pitboy the other day when they were changing my transmission fluid.

 

Howard, at this point, turbo injected rappy's aren't bought; there built. Just like the one in my garage.

 

AZraptor now you did it!!!! Now I'm gonna put dual turbo's!!!! and yes I'm gonna buy my install!!! loooookout!!!

 

Howard, you can't even ride a rappy on NOS, what makes you think you can handle a turbo bike. Maybe I should ask your rider huh.

 

Were there any DS's there ?? Or just DS owners there in the free refreshment line??

 

A turbo bike should actually be easier to ride. Boost builds gradually with a turbo. Nitrous comes on like a jackhammer as soon as it's activated.

 

Actually, this is not necessarily true. A turbo can be setup to provide a wide variety of spool up characteristics. Depending on the vehicle and application, there are many considerations such as wheel trims, housing A/R ratios, wastegate setups, etc... You could specify a turbo to come online basically off idle and give you gobs of torque down low which would have a very linear torque curve. On the other hand you can setup a turbo to give you a torque curve much like NOS where when it hits, its like a slap in the face. Lots of considerations to be had. Honestly, I don't see how any 100+ HP Raptor could be considered easy to ride.

 

I Think a turbo with the boost turned UP! is the most Violent form of H.P. to handle.

If your going to have a tubo, just to run 7-8 pounds of boost your not going to be competitive. If you want to win, you better learn to ride at 20lbs!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]


I have seen Scooby run 20+ lbs of boost when he races the Drag banshee's. If he could ever get them out of the hole, I think he's got more top-end.
