Diego,
Ballpark estimates: The guys on this list can probably tell you how
out to
lunch the numbers are, here goes:
The GPz turbo is good for 200cfm at 12000 rpm 10 lbs of boost on
your old
bike. Do you know what it made for HP? I can use this to get the
numbers
a little more accurate by back calculating the volumetric efficiency..
I calced 145-155
HP for an engine this size (assuming modern volumetric efficiency #'s)
on a 70 deg day.
Your ZX-11 needs over 320 cfm for 10lbs of boost at 13000, looks
like over
230 HP. It needs 200cfm stock (without a turbo). The GPz turbo is a
stretch,
I'm betting it's too small.
Try and scavenge a turbo from a 2200cc car that redlined around
6500 rpm,
this would be an exact match for your motor, cfm wise (317cfm at
10lbs). A lot
of the car turbos have built in wastegates, saves you $ there also.
Don't be
afraid to unclip the housings and turn them so they line up better for
your
install, even re-mount the wastegate actuator if you need to.
Remember, these calculations are from a spreadsheet I made (I don't
actually
know what I'm doing) using PV=nRT, so they could be waaay out to
lunch. The
numbers seem to be pretty close.
Good luck,
Dave.
