Been rethinking the designs, im gravitating towards a smog pump from a mustang i found near me. The orifices are small, but they should be good enough i think. Ive seen smogs make easily 5 pounds on a predator 212 motor. Its also a fair bit smaller than the AMR, and already has a bigger pulley on it, so its easier work. Making manifolds will be tough, but just a metal one that a rubber intake can go onto. Rubber intake probably isnt great, but it should work i think. Im slightly worried about overboosting since i didnt gap my rings, but we'll see. Im liking the smog more and more. The main game plan is still the same though. Will a foot plus long rubber intake completely kill fuel flow?? Find out on the next episode of "Connors Mental Breakdown (featuring POS Scooter)" 😂

Nothing wrong with rubber intake hose. Used them on a 750 twin no problem. they did have a wire wrap inside the rubber to prevent collapse under vacuum. Stainless hose clamps held the carbs on just fine. Your pics show dedication and skill. 5 PSI is a good start. Heck, that's a 33% increase if it works right.

Okay, so this whole thing just flipped onto its head. Literally. On November 6, a college kid ran a stop sign, hit the scooter pretty bad and.....its toast. Im gonna try to use the engine so i can at least call it the same scooter, but she needs a new frame. I dont think this is saveable. And as for the supercharger, i worked out a way to run a non electric oil pump. So while the supercharger plans in this thread may be used later on, shes getting turboed next spring when I finish the rebuild. Im crushed, but at least its gonna be better when its done. Ill post updates as they happen   |

Bummer. Hope you’re ok. Bikes can be replaced, people are unique.

Sorry to hear about your crash, it sucks but I'm glad you weren't hurt too badly! It's a moot point now, as you probably aren't going to do the supercharger thing, but you said about just bolting the charger pulley to the end of the crank. I don't think that would work as the pulley would need a key in it to stop it spinning, I think it would just have too much torque to reliably run without a key. I'd love to see how you get on with turbo charging it!

I'd love to see how you get on with turbo charging it! That is a good point, but Brent just ran his water pump pulley by screwing it onto the crank if i remember correctly and he hasnt said anything about it coming off. I think im gonna transplant the supercharger idea onto a 50cc bike later on in the future when im better at fabrication. The plan will not die! Just wanted to try a turbo on the 150 to start off  |

this turbo and super charging thing is exciting. sad about the frame and accident . glad you're ok and hope the frame is too when you find out .
