gpz 750 turbo

[h.b.bear]

well guys just been delt a big blow ,on closer inspection i have discovered my bike gpz750 turbo doesnt have a turbo on it.i have surfed the net and believe the bike was a turboed bike but now im not sure,does anyone know how i can really tell through engine numbers ect.the bike has the turbo boost guage and all the stickers but i guess that doesnt mean a thing,on the rego papars it is classed as a zx750e.

So it does not look like the photo shown on page one? Thats what it should look like! thats a low blow if it is not

[h.b.bear]

Yes this is the problem it does look the same as page 1 not as good of nick though.currently trying to send photos (bear with me)

[robracer]

have a look for the exhaust pipes leading into the turbo.... its either there or not?

[h.b.bear]

defenitly not there, i feel its been taken off in past

[robracer]

Shit wonder what it would run like

[Gosling1]

it would run like a low-comp z750 ...basically gutless as buggery ! What a crock, HB Bear if the seller sold this to you as a Turbo bike, you need to pay him a visit with a few mates and a baseball bat !!!

The turbo is pretty easy to spot if its there.....you don't need engine numbers or anything like that.

[h.b.bear]

Yeah im pissed and feel like doing that but i honestly think he didnt know himself ,i know the bloke and hes more into bloody horses than bikes ,i only new he had it when delivering some building materials to his place.I will just have to track down a turbo system to bring it back to its original glory

No worries bear,bought it new in 83,one of the 1st in the country.
It sat dormant for 8 or so years and started to get a bit untidy so decided to pull her down completely and freshen it up.
2packed the frame, tins and associated bits and rebuilt the top end.

After joining 750turbo.com,added a few mods,BOV,adjustable FPR,intercooler,liquid filled boost gauge,boost controller,put it in race mode and fitted a K&N filter straight on to the turbo,removed the original plastic air duct and have a straight through exhaust.

All these mods benefit the longevity of these rockets and make them go harder.

A couple of guy's on the pommy forum have managed to extract over 200mph runs on these old things.
