Aerocharger turbo kit

[JasonAM]

I just need to know if anyone out there has the Aerocharger turbo charger kit on their Spyder. I sure would like to get one, I'm just wondering if its worth the 5k retail price. Plz let me know.

It would be worth it if it improves gas milage.

Where do you have to go that fast..106 hp's on a 800 lb+/- bike seen them doing 180 mph+ box stock..turbo just seems like over kill. Get a sticker and tell people you have all that and spend the 5k on traveling... the highways..ryde safe and you will get where your going.

Has anyone put int on a RT yet? I am more interesting in improving acceleraton than I am in top speed but I would mind breaking 100 now and then. I got caught passing a truck when some one turned into the oncoming lane. I gunned it but was disappointed in the acceleration. Obvious I made it but it was due to the other driver moving over.

$5K?? go NOS... cheaper.

Doubtful, a liter bike weighing half as much maybe. Or perhaps it was 180kph. I believe Can Am has electronically limited them to about 110mph.

Why do cars have to go over the speed limit, Why are there big gulps when a regular size will do, its JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN.

The last that I heard anything about blowers on RTs; Aerocharger was looking for somebody to loan them a bike so that they could figure out the packaging up under the Tupperware...

There are opinions on both sides of the fence on this one.

If you look through older threads about turbochargers, there seem to be issues with the turbo interferring with the efi and limp mode stuff on the ,s. There are also a few people who have had engines blown. I believe that the jury is out as to whether or not the turbo was the cause.

I am not a fan of the turbo, but I am not a must have speed person either.

Why???

Why drive a corvette when a Yugo can get you there too.
Why have a steak instead of some cheap meat.
Why go to fine diner instead of Denny's.

I don't wanna ride at 100 mph but I do wanna get to 65 quickly...
Spyder is not exactly a crotch rocket and was not meant to be one. Just because you don't need it, it's not a good mod or overkill????????? I don't consider highway pegs or high handlebars waste of money because I don't want them...

Every ryder have different needs and wants.

I agree except for one item; I consider the 0-60 time for a GS/RS pretty good considering that it's in the 4 secs., where most cars aren't.

[JasonAM]

i'm all more about the acceleration rather than top speed it's about one stop light to the next, especially when you have some "douche" next to you on a harley or some crotch rocket, I have respect for all on the "open road" but when respect is not shown my way just because i'm on a Spyder, then the only way i'm gonna get that respect is by servin' them a healthy dose of road dust!

When asked, I just tell them it's fast for car, slow for a motorcycle.

Hey, Whats wrong with Denny's................................LOL

When asked, I tell em it may be slower than your crotch rocket, but it's easy to ride, like your mom.

[Bob Denman]

That one could get your lights punched out if you say it in the wrong company...
But I LIKE it!!

[napper39]

doc hands from okloma also has one on his spyder and also a guy here in kansas city mo has one on his.they havent had any bad things happen to there spyders,but they dont test them out as good as docdu,he can give you real scoop on how they run.

I need to email aerocharger

The turbo has been problematic with my SE5. They never really tested them on the semi automatics. Supposedly Aerocharger has junked their controllers in favor of the Power Commander on their new installs.

I pretty much had to go that way with mine. Currently do not have MAP sensors installed but eventually will. Mileage is still significantly less but at least I am not running super rich as I was with the included controller. If you can find a shop that understands all of this then go for it. If you yourself have the technical expertise and time then go for it.

Otherwise I'd just do the Power Commander by itself.

[crazyspyder]

yeah I want a super -duper charger on mine aswell....just because I can . I ride like its my last day to ride. cheers all of yuns!

[Dochands]

Hey Crazy. Might be moving to your town. Show me the Hill country. :-)

[Spyderific]

I think a turbo charger is the next best step. Good power increase with minimal weight added. I don't want or plan on going faster but additional power gained just with a turbo would be better than an increase in the size of the engine. Especially those of us pulling trailers the extra power pulling up hills and into traffic would be a definite plus. I also believe it can be done at a lower cost than a larger engine. Just part of my wish list.
