    CB500 Turbo? Empty CB500 Turbo?

    Post by brandyhands Sat 21 Feb 2015, 6:26 pm

    I was looking around and seen some turbo kits, was wondering whether the cb500s could handle them. Seen some youtube people with theirs but it's all international looking for a uk dealer! Anyone know any?

    As you've seen there are plenty of videos of people putting turbochargers on to CB500s, so it must be possible. I don't know where you could get suitable turbos in this country.

    The CB500 might well be a good candidate: it is pretty reliable which leads me to think that it might be slightly over-engineered, hence might be capable of dealing with a turbo, plus if you break the engine a new one shouldn't be too expensive Smile

    Anyway, if you decide to have a go at doing it then we'd all be interested in how it goes.
