how would one go about putting a turbocharger on a 1988 yamaha warrior
where would i find such a turbocharger
would a turbo work with a carburator
any input would be greatly appreciated

 

Sell the Warrior and get something with a decent motor to start with if you're into the turbo thing. The Warrior only has two valves, one intake and one exhaust. This makes for pretty horrible volumetric efficiency. That's why anything with a turbo usually starts with at least four valves (like the DS650) or five valves, like the Raptor. Those are the only two four stroke turbo kits that I know of right now, and they are running $3000+ (American). That much additonal power will call for suspension upgrades, like a longer swingarm to start. You would be better off going with a big bore kit. A lot less money and you'll still get a decent kick.

 

I don't think it's worth the hassle, why don't you get banshee or 400ex and put a turbo on it?

 

Do guys have any links to websites of the places that make these turbo kits?

You guys got me curious now. Espeically on the 400ex and Banshee turbo kits if they make them for those two.

Turbo Raptor

 

Well, like everyone else has said, I think you'd be much better off buying a new ATV with a bigger engine...

However, if you really want to do this, may I first recommend a trip to the junk yard. You're looking for old, trashed Volkswagen TurboDiesels. The smaller the better. If you can get a small enough turbo from that, it's basically just plumbing work and rejetting that will take up the rest of your time. I assume you know how a turbocharger works? If so, you know how you have to get it set up in there, it's just a matter of making it fit...
