This is probably a really dumb question, but is it possible to put a turbo on an automatic scooter, such as a Yamaha Nouvo 135?

I love my Elegance, but I want to kill it so I have an excuse to get a new one. My friend suggested I put a turbo on it, to both kill it, and to make it really awesome and fast.

Is this possible? And is it a really bad idea?

Ask yourself if all the other components of the bike would stand up to the extra "Ooomph" of a turbo, then decide if it's easier to just go out and buy what you want?

Turbo is very rare and I have not seen it done.

However big bore kits exist.

I have done a 200 ccm incl stroked crank on a Fino.

It ran very well until the crank snapped.

Now I have ordered a complete 300 ccm kit for the Fino.

If you do big bore kit you also need to do modifications to engine block.

Bigger carb. and exhaust to match.

Many bike shops do these conversions.

I would be willing to kill your YNE for a lot cheaper than a turbo install.

Please let me know if I can be of help.

I done it last year to a 125cc. It was fun until it roasted the gearbox and drive belts.

I bought it from these guys. The efi kits are good.

Please be advised it is hard to install and run all the oil lines.

I think nitrox would be cheaper , and easier . Similar result - loads of power , then a blown engine . Why not sell this bike and buy a more suitable replacement .

NA engines can handle a small boost without any issues, but many aren't satisfied with a small boost and that is the problem.

If you could keep it up, you might just blow into the intake pipe.

Would sucking on the tail pipe help?

This is the best idea I've heard for some time.

Go for it sir.

Big turbo lag on a small, single cylinder.

Maybe I should combine the big bore kit with a turbo

Big turbo lag on a small, single cylinder.

No lag whatsoever if you place the turbo next to the head. The turbo is from a Daihatsu 660cc engine and it's small enough to fit in the palm of my hand.

The only problem is then solutions to putting the power through the cvt without slipping and breaking things within. You get to the rev limit very quickly and the turbo has plenty left in it.

I wouldn't do it again. It's hard to get everything neat unless you want to lose the under seat storage.

Oil pumps and coolers and lots of piping (intake, exhaust and intercooler) make it hard to be discreet and quiet.

It's fun but that soon wears off.

I'd love to see the kit on a 650cc though.

Absorutery!

And nitro too!

I think you should go all out and stop <deleted> around and put two turbo's on it, whilst talking to the shop see if you can supercharge it as well..... geeeeezzzzzz

Big bore 300cc kits on a scooter is nuts, fast sure

But the rest of the bike, frame and brakes etc and everything else are not designed for twice as much power..

cheaper to buy a faster bike unless you are just doing this for fun project

May not be legal on the roads either of dlt ever found out

You can do this with the exhaust, put a certain pressure back in the cylinder of unexploded fuel. Works well with 2 stroke engines, not so well with 4 stroke ones. Look for small model planes/cars engines, they do this all the time (2...10cc). From there you can calculate how to do it with bigger ones.

I did put a turbo on a 110cc pocket bike, and the engine size was basically to small to reallly efficient feed the turbo... But I got some amazing results
