Aerocharger turbo kit

[Smokinspyder]

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... :shocked:

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.

Turbo kit would be sooo awsome to have!

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

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

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.

yeah it seemed like the controllers supplied by aerocharger look the same as the ones two bros. racing supplies for their exhaust. I hear that the power commanders have much more to offer. thats probably why they switched because the power commander can handle the power curve of the turbo.

Sooner or later Doc will see this post. He can tell you all there is to know about the turbo. The fun and the possible consequences.

Maybe one of you RS pilots should pitch a PM at him... :thumbup:

Ooch..!!

Seems that I ruffled a few feather with my comment on this subject. Seeing as those that responded resorted to comparisons like yugos to vetts ( mostly driven by older gentelmen with flashy chics at the speed limit) steak to cheap meat ( which is probably an affordability issue) and avoiding hitting a truck head on ( which seems to be a judgement call ) then why hit the wall at 65 and kill yourself when you can hit the wall at 30 and survive..?

Love this site just for this reason. It is not onesided and we all can voice our thoughts on any given suject..:thumbup:

It's all about how you put it.

Your opinion matter as much as others but you flat out said why...
There was a guy here that said why add a free flow muffler, why more fuel with fuel mod, why change to a less restrictive air filter to this fine machine.??? He had moved onto other things now but he thought it was just crazy to do ANY performance mod to a spyder and he was right about this.

We are here because we like our spyder but everyone have different needs and wants and it's common courtesy here to let go of things you don't find attractive or don't need/want.

Getting to 65 quickly, I was referring to common speed limit on freeway around here... And I will try to not to hit a wall... And you shouldn't do so at 30 neither...

Everybody just likes to set their bikes up to their own personal tastes...
Nobody should ever apologize or feel that an explanation is necessary.

Just the reason I have the turbo Busa when I had the Spyder..................When the need for speed showed up, I was ready....LOL

:agree: Those "Hawks" are just so SLOW the way that Suzui delivered them! :shocked: :roflblack:

I agree.........But, I love the MPG I am getting. LOL

The Aerocharger is so far the ultimate mod to increase the power on a RS SM5 Spyder, both for the fast arriving at a desire speed (1/4 mile) or maintain-it (141.4 miles/hour top speed, 123.8 miles/hour average in the FIM Bonneville 2012).
I am open to any public discussions about the 186,000 miles RS SM5 before and after the Turbo installation.

So Doc; how come it took until this thread got into the second page before we saw you? :shocked: :joke:
(Probably out in the shop either lightening or streamlining something Spyderish!)

I think he was letting all the armchair professionals hang themselves first, before real-world experience posted.

I do believe that you are correct! :thumbup:
