  • Welcome!
    In this video, we transform an old, junkyard condition virago into a fire-breathing (literally!) Mad Max style Custom Bobber, ready for the Wastelands! I utilized two T28 turbochargers in Draw-Thru configuration on this turbo setup, with two VM-38 carbs.
    If you are even moderately interested in turbocharging your carb'd bike but feel overwhelmed, or don't know where to start, my "How-to: Turbocharge your Vintage Motorcycle From Scratch, Draw-Thru and Blow-Thru - A Complete Guide" video covers EVERY detail you need to know. Pitot tubes, Carbon Sealing, Draw-thru/Blow Thru pro's/con's, setting up carbs for boost, vacuum routing, fuel pump selection, fuel pressure regulator selection is all covered in this almost 50 minute long video that breaks down everything you need to know.
    There's also 10 more exclusive how-to videos, covering tank painting w/rattle can, lowering forks, carbon sealing your turbo, how to lace a motorcycle wheel and a half-dozen more. Come join us!

    We used to put ASMR in the title but figure that it's probably best to let the viewer determine if it falls in that category themselves.

    So you fabricated all your parts by hand, made your electrical plugs yourself, did all the math for the turbos, welded your own exhaust, polished your parts by hand. I know I've forgotten some things... You are a top notch mechanic, fabricator, welder, electrician. My hat is off to you. GREAT job. Thanks.

      One think i not like that much is how he is using his tools. like the anglegrinder without guard, or using the ratchet wrench for opening. And it would drive me crazy when the vice is not fixed to the workbench.

      Hey bro, why wait and get one one day down the road when you can actually go to a scrapyard or a junkyard and find old Beatdown s*** and restore it yourself. I'll tell you a secret. You're talking to the guy that's working on the first flying electric motorcycle that's right I'm working on a project called the hyperbike it's a hubless wheel design a bike that runs on hydrogen you put water in the hydrogen this cell with two tablespoons of sea salt and a tablespoon of zinc. You close the lid you push the button that powers up the capacitor which then causes the hydrogen the cell to start bubbling producing hydrogen when that hydrogen starts producing you then hit the other button on the starter and the combustion engine that's converted to run on hydrogen which is a small 4-stroke engine Flyers off and start spinning for motorcycle stators those skaters then stack power into 4 full farad capacitors which the engines for the Drone flight mode run on so that there is plenty of power to draw from. But it all is powered by a 5-volt phone charger and a dollar store solar panel. I figured out that if you wire the solar panel to the battery nacelle you can charge a regular 5 V cell phone battery nacelle with a 2in by 5 in solar panel from the local dollar stores😅😅😅 that with a 5 volt to 24 volt Step Up allows you to increase the voltage to 72 volts by using a step up in a Transformer from a microwave. I've also taken a 6400 V flashback capacitor which is a line capacitor from a microwave which keeps power from reverberating through your power system cooking your plugs and all that in the wall lol that's installed so if there's any electrical issues the flow of electricity stays constant along with the use of the capacitors. The exhaust from the combustion engine is pure water I've designed a way to catch that water in wicking in the exhaust and have a drain through something I created called The Whistle valve the pressure from the exhaust pushing the water through the whistle valve create enriched hydrogen when the water returns to a catchment tank with a float and a small hydrogen enrichment system similar to the one on the main tank that fuels the bike. When the tank runs low the enrichment tank from the exhaust which is been reading Ridgewood pure hydrogen is pumped into the tank it's almost completely self-replicating. If I could do what I wanted to do with magnets and Mercury I wouldn't need an engine at all but unfortunately every time I try to patent my device they keep denying it and telling me that if I put it out in the public they're going to put me under a prison somewhere. They don't want you guys to know that if you put mercury inside of a copper ball and put magnets on either side it creates a massive amounts of energy so much in fact you can hook that Implement device to a Ford Model T spark gap and put to contacts inside of the box those two contacts will receive massive amounts of plasma energy exchange from the Ford Model T spark Gap when that happens it's like a lightning storm inside of a box. They made it illegal to use one of those Model T spark gaps unsealed back in the 30s why because they knew that if you use that spark gap on a generator you can create free energy for up to 1,000 homes😅😅😅😅 I'm a beast dude I've been studying this s*** for more than a minute you are f****** insane for putting twin turbos on a little bike like that if you're going to do that bro you might as well go big and get a 30-shot bottle of nitrous and put extended travel on it take it to the drag track my friend take it to the drag track

      @Frollicking_Gurnard 11 месяцев назад +2

    • @DoctorMotorcycle
      @DoctorMotorcycle  9 месяцев назад +4

      @@thomasodea8381 Wrong, and comments like this are why Is started posting timed acceleration runs at the end of the video. A Yamaha Virago is a giant turd stock, putting on turbo's with low boost takes it from a giant turd to just a turd. I'm building another twin turbo setup on my GS400 that's going to be GT15 turbo's on a little 400cc bike. But this time, I'm converting the bike to E85 and running 15psi of boost. I'd like it to be able to crack 100 crank HP, which I think with enough boost (closer to 20psi) it could be done. And maybe I'll even throw it on the dyno just to prove clowns like you wrong.

Cool idea for the exhaust pipes I would have routed them below the bike but shoties out the side is a cool idea, but would get people pulled over by the cops on a regular basis in my part of the world.

    Nice ! Very-relaxing to watch . I would add iridium-plugs and disconnect the rev-counter (not sure if you did, it takes pulse off rear-plug and depletes the spark ) I run my rear-plug one-grade hotter, goes-against logic but works in mine . You can also adapt a TT600 oil-pump to give better-flow and replace the crap-cam-bush-things for bearings which give more-consistent valve-clearances, lower-heat etc. The valve-springs on these early-bikes are way-too-heavy, better revs etc with later Virago-1100-springs, longer seat-life, no dropped-valves and cam-lobes last-longer .

    • @DoctorMotorcycle

      Negative, you don't want to run iridium plugs on a Turbo bike, the fine pointed tip gets too hot and can contribute to pre-ignition. I always run at least 1 heat range colder as well, sometimes 2 if I'm turning the boost up. Same thing with the valve springs, you need more seat pressure w/turbo, especially because it usually extends the powerband another 1,000rpm higher as well. Cheers.

    Little tip for rusty sheet metal, if you get some red scotch-brite and use Phosphoric acid with it, it removes the rust in about a minute or less.
