turbo centauro

[Paul Minnaert]

A guy in finland loves turbos, first his centauro, and now a jackal

 

[zebulon]

and any info about the bike reliability ???

[Guest Nogbad]

Sure thats a turbo? Looks like a belt driven roots type supercharger.

[Paul Minnaert]

I'm not into turbos/chargers, so I suppose you are right.

 

the link to his picture page:

and his homepage:

And fin-ish isn't on any webtranslator I know, so I have no clue.

it does look like a super charger but the question I have to ask is WHY? good god the expense time and fabircated parts you'd need. let alone everything else like mapping it out(would be fun tho) and the added weight and power on a bike maybe not built for that kind of thing. Some ppl have 2 problems I wish I had. Too much time, and Too much money.

 

I'd love to see and hear the bich tho.

Answer: Because!

I have to ask is WHY

 

isn't the fun of doing it not enough reason? IF all things had to make sense, why drive a guzzi?

There are plenty of reasons to own a Guzzi to be different, to have about the best all-arounder out there. Believe me I looked everywhere and took notes. The sound the Feel they are all a little unique I can find many reasons to own a Guzzi its the probable cost of the bike and then some in just upgrades I've never understood I'd rather leave the soul alone and just tweak some bits . Really I wish something would come perfect from the factory but thats asking too much

.... exactly

 

 

Neat

[Guzzirider]

Excellent! What a nut case! He has not even added the optional second front disc to his Jackal after tuning the bollox of it!

 

Top man!

[Paul Minnaert]

He has not even added the optional second front disc

well with the front wheel in the air there is no point in that.

[twhitaker]

Why own a Guzzi? To be different.

Why add a turbo? Tame answer, to be different.

[Guest Nogbad]

I looked at his homepage and pictures. It's a belt driven supercharger. Looks like a Roots type twin rotor unit.

[jrt]

Too funny. I like his commentary for the pictures- 'about here' 'chunk of metal' and the license plate on the Jackal- 'boost is good'

[vtwin]

I know this Centauro (and the owner). The jackal is still under construction.

 

That is indeed a belt driven (roots?)supercharger. The throttle bodies are from a 998 ducati vith 4 injectors. If I remember correctly, the OEM weber Marelli controls 2, and another CPU controls the other 2 !!

 

The Centauro was driven last summer ~5000 km, as it was finished in august. The owner plans on driving much more this summer. If I remember correctly, the ODO reads approx 80,000kms.
