Wanna race? Here's one for ya. Got this recently from Quenton. He said it's from a friend of his. I'm laid off from work since then, saw it & thought "I should post this". Hope I get to ride the finished product.

if that turbo's not set up for a suck through system he may run into problems, turbo's that will see vacuum use extra rubber seals in the compressor side. a blow through system dosen't have this problem. looks cool.

Hi jbcruisin,

The Texas inovator graced us with pictures and a small article about his latest adventures with motorbike motors inside the latest edition of the Whizzer Newsletter. Thrilled to consider him a friend, always look forward to the few times each year we cross paths and need to mention he also built the Twin engine Whizzer [still unnamed] sitting in my workshop. As many already know I agreed to ride it at Bonneville in the future.
Gotta wonder what the Twin Whizzer could do if Turbo charged!

I just go crazy over the past Whizzer motors he designed & built. One of my favorites was the "Veezzer" [might be spelled wrong], a V-twin Whizzer motor. And of course the Twin Powered Bonneville Special [Thanks to Ron Dow & Terry McAllister] in my possesion certainly is at the top of my list.

BTW this month's issue of the Whizzer Newsletter has pictures of the Twin Whizzer powered ride that Ron built.

I suggest everyone subscribe to the Whizzer newsletter, cause a lot of great information each and every month.

Have fun,

Yea, but what flow is it built for?

I know there's been at least a couple US-market motorcycles over the years that had turbos.... but still, you're talking about a 500-750+ cc engine, spinning at 4000-5000+ RPMs. A Whizzer motor is what, 150ccs? And sure as heck don't spin at 6000 RPMs. Who makes a turbo for a ~5hp lawnmower engine?

I'd think it would be way easier to add a blower onto a Whizzer engine than it would be to find a turbo that would really work.

Hi 42blue15,

I have several Whizzer motors that easily hit 7000 RPMs and one that exceeded 8200. They are running 26 MM carburetors with a 130 main jet. Stock is 22 MM carburetor with an 84 Main.

Very big numbers for a flat head 138 CC motor. We have managed to get the flat heads to run within a mile or two of the OHV versions.

It is possible to really make these motors "breathe" like never before.

I don't know what the turbo charged motor will do, but is sure is "cool" to look at and wonder the end result.

Have fun,
