Forced induction single piston 4 stroke engines

[Atomusthenes]

This topic is being opened to discuss the feasibility of forced induction on small engines.

[Mech]

Feasibility is one thing, the practicability  of doing it on a motorbike or quad is another thing.

Yes we can supercharge or turbocharge small engines. Whether we should or not bother doing it to a bike or quad is the real question..  I think it's a foolishness..

[Gwbarm]

I know that forced air injection does wear out engines faster, but may be an interesting project to see if it really adds that much more power. Is there a kit for that or are you just going to adapt or make parts from other applications.

[Mech]

The easiest way to give your bike a huge power boost, Atom, is to use nitrous oxide.

It's light and simple.

[Gwbarm]

Yeah! That will do it, not sure i want to be sitting on top of that engine when that kicks in.

[Mech]

The trick is Gw, to have a little puff of the stuff yourself, before you get on the bike.. 

haha
