Love that pipe, but the little squiggle is not necessary


That's the first thing I saw. Why the bend?  Huh

The little squiggle might be for where his foot goes.

hmmmmm turbo huh?

did you add fuel control too?

wonder how hot that piston gets?

looks like a timing belt for it? to advance spark?

still looking for a fuel pump though.... can't imagine normal fuel flow would work.

That's not a turbo. That's a full-on supercharger.

I had a friend in high school that supercharged a Benelli single using a Jenson supercharger meant for an Austin-Healy Sprite. It was in a drag racing frame and did not have enough legal equipment to be streetable. Unfortunately, he died (not on the bike) before he got all the bugs worked out of it. It did run, however.

The big deal with supercharging is figuring how to get the proper intake manifold volume.

I can help identify a few parts.  The front wheel appears to be a Savage/Temptor rear wheel and brake drum adapted for use on the front (you can see the casting has a place for the rubber cushions in the drive hub on the left side).  The engine is either a Suzuki Savage or Temptor.  The front forks and yokes....no idea.  The gas tank sure looks like Yamaha....maybe XS650.  It has a supercharger adapted on.....no idea is if it runs well (or just runs).

Even without the blower, that's a great looking bike. The proportions and lines are spot on to my eye, apart from the rear tyre on the front wheel.. Very nice. Would look sensational tidied up and finished off.

Good eye, Dave.

Would a single work well with a blower? I mean, singles aren't known to be smooth engines. The intake cycle's constant pulsing would wreak havoc on the blower, right?

There was a man Savage Bob from Christchurch NZ who supercharged an S40, but he sure had challenges issues or problems doing it. It did rum, but he hasn't posted for a while. The site techies can direct people to his thread.

Here is a Parilla from back in the late 1950s early 60s.

Parilla made a Scrambler version that my friend Marion Cameron raced locally in the early 60s. I don't remember too much about them except that Shillingsford the AJS / Matchless dealer in Philadelphia had parts for them.

The last I heard from him, he had the bugs worked out and it was running well.  I do not remember if he had power/torque numbers for it though.

Can anyone identify the blower? I've never seen one that small.


Think we could adapt the M112 from 2003-04 Cobra?  Grin

I can't but I think Savage Bob used one off a small Diahatsu.

That would be an interesting project. Who wants to step up and be the guinea pig?  Cheesy
