Ive seen a few turbo's done on 914/4cyl motors. Way too much hot plumbing in the engin bay and fuel lines for my liking. I go to Daytona Bike week twice a year now (OctoberFest) and I see alot of small blowers on 4cyl 1300cc rice burners and Harley Big V twins with huge carb openings. Some are direct drive and most are a small belt drive.... So why not build an aluminum air box for the OEM intake pipes and injector ports then bolt on it a good size MotorCycle blower on top the blower an over sized throdle bodie piped to an Ljet mass air flow meter as the Djet MPS would not like a pressureized air box? (pipe MPS to the throdle bodie?) With a cool custom cone filter on the air flow meter... I would prefer an FI system to the intake valve over an carb on the blower, the runners are too long? I know its more stuff to break and one can loose some reliability not for the daily runner I would guess but it might be fun!!

At one time there was a company in Daytona Beach that made a blower setup for 914's. I remember see tests in the mags about these. I think it was the smaller magna charger???

Yes it is possible, anything is possible.
I've heard that there are a couple out there but don't remember seeing any pictures.
Please proceed and post pics as soon as you have it running.
