BMW Airhead "Kompressor" Reborn
BMW Airhead "Kompressor" Reborn
Descriptive details of project would be:
-1984 R100RT starting point (fully faired, air cooled 980cc opposed twin, 2 valve heads, original BMW technology on a touring bike)
-Mitsubishi European "Forto" 3 cylinder 988cc gas engine turbo - mounts in front with "Y" collector not all that different looking at first from stock BMW pipes.
-Saab 900 intercooler cut by half, mounts at lower front point, just in front of oil pan bevel front zone.
-Throttle body and collector reservoir housing (dampens pulsations prone to short intake runs on 2 cylinder bikes and such) from donor Honda CTX650 turbo bike
-42lb Delphi injectors, @ 43psi squirt at close right angles to throttle plates.
-Bosch fuel pump in its own housing, I had previously fit a 60amp Mitsubishi Alternator.
-Turbo oil feed through orificing, as well cooling of cartridge housing on way, coming from oil cooler that feeds off modified BMW filter housing.
-Inovate Wide Band O2 sensor and cockpit gauge - very nice product for on the road tuning
-Twin feed and return fittings made to thread directly onto my stock, unchanged fuel tank.
I would say adding all this to a fully faired bike like mine presented steeper challenges than I might have anticipated. You can't just hack and fit things, they have to jive with the program already underway.
Thanks offered to DIYAutotune, excellent backup and support.
