None of this is Rocket III related but I thought I would share some pictures of my old bikes prior to the Rocket III.

That's pretty cool. Is that turbo your design??

[rockethead]

yes it is, turbo's are not that hard to do...

You need the flow numbers of the motor, the fuel delivery that the stock injectors and pump can handle and then you size the turbo based on your power gains. With the VTX, I had to stay below 10# of boost due to it's compression ratio and I had to install a higher psi fuelpump and positive pressure fuel regulator. The bike went from 89.3HP and 102Torque to 141.8HP and 138Torque at 7psi boost. I gained 5-8mpg at cruising and shaved almost 2 sec. of 1/4mile... all this on $1300.00 out of my pocket!!!

I am planning on using a similar turbo that I used on the VTX, G15 or G16 mitzu turbo with intercooler for the Rocket and pushing 12-15psi boost should be able to give 230-250 HP and Torque, just waiting on the tuneboy software to come out.

I see a stickey in the works.

Great minds think alike... I had posted that earlier :-D

Even if the tuneboy doesn't show up I can probably get what you need out of the PCIII or even the stock setup. Tuneboy would be better. Somewhere we have a nice clutch upgrade to go with... :-D
