The GSX-R Hayabusa is the most popular donor
bike engine for turbocharging. Powertec have
developed a three-stage system designed primarily
to work in track applications. A Stage One system
can be fitted without any engine work, and will
produce 300bhp with around 6 psi of boost. Stage
Two upgrades require engine modification, but
will produce 350bhp with 12 psi of boost. Power
can be increased to 400bhp with the addition of a
chargecooler and further modification of the engine.
