Ok im new to the site still trying to figgure everything out...anyways im installing a turbo on my 05 450 and just wanting some pointers or tips...right now its a stock motor other than vaulve springs and port work...i already have the turbo mounted back where the air box used to be and just needing some hints on running hoses and all...and if anyone has any suggestions on maybe boring it over or anything else that works well with running a turbo let me know... thanks...

um no real suggestions man, perhaps a flat slide FCR or lectron carb, its not anywhere near impossible so id love to see it done. Make sure you use good quality piping and measure twice to cut once. Turbo builds can get expensive.

What turbo are you using, what are you doing for fuel and ignition systems?

Im have a GT12 turbo and i have already ran the pipe and everything is welded up and looks really nice...i have pictures but prob wont get to posting them until tomarrow but my only worry is getting this thing to run right and run the hose the best as possible...we are going to take it in steps i have a cdi box but prob wont install it from what i have heard and right now i just have a stock carb and everything but this whole this is just kind of a experiment....any you can tell me is great...

power junkie you seem to be the person to ask. If you dont mind what kinda setup are you running?

Sounds like a hell of a project! Welcome to the site. I'm from Columbus also just dont live there anymore.

My setup is a gt12 turbo rear mount non intercooled low compression with a blow through fcr carb and it runs really well. I also just finished a turbo yfz done in the same manner as my honda and rode it on saturday on 10psi didnt run too shabby.

Awsome thanks for the help....you seem to have some experience with this anything else you can tell me would be great....im lookin to build a pretty quick quad i mean your never going to be the fastest but to be one of the fastest is a pretty nice deal....what am i looking to get out of this turbo? and what other mods as far as bore kits and other things can i look into? not wanting to just start droping tons of money into it but will listen to any suggestions?

A forged low compression piston is a must have and also a fuel system that is boost referenced and an adjustable ignition . What boost levels are you going to run and what kind of power are you expecting?

ok well i was lookin at runnin a cooler spark plug didnt know if that was a must? and i had in my head around 8lb boost but im not set on anything just whatever i think runs the best...and im lookin for some pretty good power i mean not complete dragster but kinda a sleeper that u wouldnt expect if u know what i mean?

Good luck with your build.Keep your boost down or you will break cases. Jim

I cracked my cases on my nitrous 520 but have been fortunate with my 470 turbo build runnin between 14 and 22 psi for a year. And she gets her done.

whats kind of 470 build do you have? and how does it run with those 520's i hear so much about?

My 470 is a stock bore with a hot rods +3 crank and in comparison to my nitrous 520 with a 26 shot, which ran pretty well, my turbo build would smoke its ass!!

thats what i like to hear...my buddy had 520 Nmotion build and it ran pretty damn good....im just looking to pull one over on him and the turbo sounded like a good idea...if things keep going well i should have it ready to start running test by the weekend...but any other ideas you have for me let me know....

Crain you need to get some pics of that thing on here. I wanna see it. If Im back in town soon Im gonna hit you up and take a look at it!

i was just wonderin how much power is getin to the wheels on one of these turbo beasts
