 ABOVE IS HILLBILLY MOTORS EFFORT AND MY INSPIRATION Thanks for the tech help I was given by this board. As far as I know its the only xb turbo in Australia. I still have a couple of teething problems with her that I would like some help with. If anyone wishes to part with some knowledge. I have some oil flow problems at idle that clear up around 2000 rpm and minor exhaust dramas causing the pipes to exhaust unevenly. You blokes are the gurus with this stuff and if you feel like helping I would be glad to post detailed pics and problems. I know im from OZ but hey we all ride the same.

If you post this in the knowledge vault, it may just pick up the interest of Firemanjim. He's got the most knowledge of turbo charging Buells, that I know of. Nice looking bike! I'd like to see more pics of the Dragon, if you'd care to post them. | ||
| Beachbuell |
Hey Docktor, that Buell is kick a**. I would love to see that thing in person. Please post or email me some more pictures, awesome bike man! | ||

 The next couple are pre turbo days, I have heaps of pics as ya would expect but dont wanna bore you all with them, Basically its a xb12 with a gt 15 turbo with a .68 wheel running about 6 lbs of boost which is about to be dynoed this week, if the engine looks like it will hold I will intercool it and head for 200 HP.  . the dragon theme runs the whole bike.its head on the head fairing, body and wings on the tank and home made frame guards,spine and rest of wings on rear ducktail, It has a undertail on it , thats painted like the underbelly of a dragon, front claws on front guard, lower claws on bellypan. Thanks for the comments on it too. Its a bit of a ongoing project when money allows. Doc (Message edited by Docktor on September 25, 2006) | ||

EXTRA NICE! Did you find help with the turbo? Look up Firemanjim, he runs a turbo on his LSR Buell. | ||
| Tq_freak |
That is an awesome paint job, great attention to detail. I like how you had the seat stiched to go along with the scales | ||
| Bumblebee |
Now THAT'S cool. | ||
| Fullpower |
yes, the bike looks very nice. How are you fueling the motor? | ||
| Diablobrian |
There are a lot of hours tied up in that paint job. Nice bike. How much boost are you running? and how many horses are you getting out of it? | ||

I'd imagine(sp) a stock belt will die quickly with those kind of HP.You NEED a chain! (Message edited by ducxl on September 26, 2006) | ||
| Josh_cox |
Funny how people think belts are weak... we had 167 hp on our drag bike before going chain for ease of gearing. We never broke a belt. | ||
| Blake |
Belts rule! Silly Duc man.  | ||
| Jens |
Hi Docter, great Job! Mail me for your oilproblem. Jens info (at) hillbilly-motors.com | ||
| Docktor |
Hi Jens, Will do and I am much appreciative for any help you can throw my way. Its harder than I thought to turbo a bike, Aint much room to be had is there? Doc | ||
| Acejay |
Docktor that bike looks amazing...... the paint is very nice. the turbo hanging off the side is way cool, i'd love to turbo a bike one day. what side of melbourne are you from, i'd love to see that bike running? | ||
| Docktor |
Hey Acejay, I am in Western suburbs mate, Werribee to narrow it down for ya.. Doc | ||
| Spectrum |
All that custom work and you still have those ugly warning stickers on the swing arm?  Very nice bike by the way! | ||
| Docktor |
Yeh, Next is rip the swing arm out, change them stipid rear engine mount bushes to nolathane and polish the swing arm mate, They will leave the premises for sure Doc | ||
| Acejay |
aha, im in maribyrnong. i went for a ride down st kilda area on saturday and saw 2 buells, i was happy when i saw the first one, and very suprised when i saw the second. i reckon i've seen about 10 buells in total actually being ridden on the road around here ever. hopefully i'll catch you around some day. | ||
| Xb9ser |
One awsome bike  | ||
| Jens |
Doc, you got mail. Nobody said the real outstandig stuff to build is easy (-: Jens | ||
| Firemanjim |
Doc,what are your oiling problems? HD/Buell motors run very low oil pressure,esp at idle and could be problem with a plain bearing turbo.I have Garrett ball bearing going on mine because of this.The Aerocharger had it's own oil reservoir so not a problem. | ||
| Firemanjim |
As quiet as turbo exhaust is you could get away with no mufflers and still be quieter than normally aspirated bike with race can.Both my turbo bikes are unmuffled and quieter than their normal counterparts. | ||
| Docktor |
Thank you Jens and Eric.I am writing replies now and look forward to talking to you both. Firemanjim, I have a garret GT turbo with a ball bearing modifivation, Its a water oil turbo running without water at this stage.(that may change). Saw the aerocharger but went with the conventional way. And as for exhaust, Its a pair of 4 inch empty cannons with tips put on them. As jim says they are quiet as a mouse but gets a decent burble up in the rev range. Doc |
