Title: Saner turo question?
Post by: John on February 01, 2006, 08:22:45 AM: Saner,

I am just curious, your footer says "Turbo". I assume you know things about turbos. Why does it not make sense to put a turbo on two strokers? I have never hear of the concept. Maybe it exists but it does not seem like a common set-up. I considered turbo-ing my GSX way back but never did it because lack of funds. Great technology though.

Post by: demographic on February 01, 2006, 10:18:44 AM: It's definatley possible to turbocharge twostrokes as theres a few snowmobiles that have them but I am not sure how the crankseals cope with the extra pressure.
I seem to remember Labarynth seals being mentioned
I remember one snowmobile had 351 horsepower though :shock:
Theres some turboed Banshees on here...

Lots of trick turboed snowmobiles on the here where I live on the western interior of Canada. They need the Hp and altitude compensation to climb the really steep mountains. You can get in a 10,000' vertical ride less than an hour away. I'll have to ask around for some details. Cam.

Post by: Saner on February 03, 2006, 03:52:06 AM: You can absolutely turbocharge a 2 stroke motor, but you would have to build the motor to withstand the compression. 2 Strokes are high compression. Adding a turbocharger will make it even higher, putting both top and bottom end at risk.
