😭🤣😭🤣

So glad I’m not the only one who saw that😂

Seriously pipes is the easy part. But the throttle body needs to be in front of the supercharger for any bypass valve to work. I have a completed supercharged Subaru on my channel

That looks like a 2.5L EJ251 motor. They're NA

Allanley genius nope, no modding. It was like this from new, I believe it was a limited run, I've not found another one though

5 years later and I'm also interested in doing this to my rs also

5 years and 1 month later and I'm also interested

Alex Turcotte you can get custom length belts at many auto parts stores if they don’t have it they just order one. Some of the belts may be too wide, all you have to do is trim them.

I should note I have ridden just I haven't ever owned a bike myself

It's a 2.5L EJ251

Hey, despite some negative views online, the bike does run great. I can only speak for mine however and each bike is different. But that said, look after it, keep up with the maintenance and it should serve you well.

+AWOL733 Hi, the supercharger I used was an Eaton unit off a Mercesdes CLK, if you do an ebay search for a Mercedes CLK supercharger you should find some

+Stuart Douglas thanks bro how is it working so far.?

I'm very interessted in it, too! :) But with an 1.6i :D

+Alex Tran I just got it from a local motorcycle parts supplier - measured the length and diameter I needed then chose one I liked :)

Stuart Douglas ..just curious ...do you have problem with the gear? Mine has a hard shifting from 1st to neutral. Also when riding, sometime i get weird pop noises all a sudden. Not sure where it is from. Do you have same problem with your bike?

Hey, I've never had any issues getting 1st or any gears with mine. Not sure what you mean by weird popping, the only "pop" I get is from the exhaust when I throttle off. The only other thing I have had once or twice is a back fire through the carb/air filter - however it has been so infrequent that it's not warranted any investigation. I hope this helps!

+Marko Beg - Simply really, I didn't want a Virago 250. I bough this for the same reason that I bought all the other vehicles I have, and have had in the past - I wanted it. Equally with due respect to yourself, what you consider a better sound is subjective, it's like telling someone who likes red wine that white is better - its purely opinion and that is yours, which is totally fine. I would also question the more "accessible parts" and room form customisation - sure, if you're only looking for bits your can bolt on then this is not the bike for you - if however you're handy in the workshop then you can take this bike as far as you want to go - and surely that's what true customisation is about isn't it, for example: static1.squarespace.com/static/524c5aa4e4b0aac0d82f7c71/546a3952e4b03fe05e4cb044/546a3961e4b07ab395a8c58d/1416247650904/Brock's%2BCustom%2BHeist.jpg static1.squarespace.com/static/524c5aa4e4b0aac0d82f7c71/t/5481275ce4b0e3ea019aa5b3/1417750322869/RSD-Cleveland-CycleWerks-Heist-9.jpg?format=750w www.trademysuperbike.com.my/images/bikephoto/fb_img_14250220_1438054112.jpg Finally, unless you have ridden one(?) I would question how you can say the virago in general is a much better bike? We can all read reviews and forums but the only true test is to get out on one. I once thought I wanted a Benelli Tornado until I took one out for a ride and realised it wasn't for me! But hey, ultimately if you ride and are happy with what you ride then surely that's all that matters?

Most likely a super charger from an Australian legacy

+pfyitah Hi - yes, I took the original pipe off just before the large original silencer. I didn't have to do anything else and can honestly say the bike does run nice - maybe I got lucky, who knows?!

+Dylan Johnstone Thanks - It was a pretty simply job, I got the exhaust from a local retailer who stocks custom parts, I measured the diameter of the standard down pipe (before it reaches the larger silencer section) and also measured the standard exhaust's length. Then I spent a little while looking at a couple of universal silencers, found a design that I liked, one that was long enough and that also came with some reducing couplers to enable me to match it up the diameter of the existing down pipe. Then it was just a couple of hours modifying the existing downpipe and sorting the mounting bracket out. It might be worth noting that I took the exhaust assembly off the bike to carry out the work.

noodles806 Thanks for the comment!

All the best with your Heist, I hope you get one sorted soon!

Stuart Douglas I appreciate the reply, good info.

I really like it. Its never going to be a fast bike, however I have taken her up to 85mph on the stock setup, I wouldn't want to go much past that. But its a different type of biking experience - when you're riding at around 55-65mph she's sweetest, the induction noise from the air filter has a very old school, 1960's sound which is nice. The standard exhaust doesn't do the bike/engine justice, but swapping it out makes a huge difference to the bikes presence. I've had quite a lot of bikes - old and new, sports and retro and I have a track day or two under my belt - this bike is one of my favorites to ride. Thanks

The whine = power so probably not haha

Hey, Not yet - had a house move to contend with! Hopefully going to get back on to it in the next few weekends! Thanks for tuning in

What happens when you try and take off?

It just spins around on the floor its brand new but the back tail rotar wont spin either?
