Somebody has to have an FTR-R Carbon 1200 Indian or a Norton Commando 961 LE Transatlantic up there.

Cats out of the bag, you guys heard it here first... One of C&C's winter projects. Turbo 1FZ FJ55
Before for baseline, after for more data!
Full tilt! (Or as full tilt as it gets without an IC or stroker crank…)
Maybe we drag the turbo fzj45lv .vs the turbo fzj55.
They both have 3.70s in the 3rds, so it should be fair, right?

And have everyone on say 33" tires so it can be an even field.
I'm sure a brief wheel swap could be figured out

Access to a track would be ideal, if you guys figure this out
Since you're planning to race against Landcruisers, it seems like a big adventure-tourer would be the appropriate sort of bike. Don't get me wrong, Indian's factory flat tracker is plenty cool, just seems like you want to put a vehicle designed for extreme terrain against other vehicles designed for extreme terrain.

Had a great time talking with Lee @Outsane on his Cruisin 2 Camp podcast, which can be found HERE on Spotify. We talked for almost 50 minutes about, Cruisers & Company in general, the turbo setup, fan clutch's, some of the things you can do with the turbo to make more power, AFR's, what needs to be checked if you have an older higher mileage engine before strapping on a turbo, why we developed our setup, the goals we had for it... Lots of things. Go give it a listen if you have some time. Lots of great info in there. Lee also has a bunch of other great episodes too with a ton of other community members and vendors that are also worth listening to. Thanks for having me on Lee!

It was super fun thanks!
That was a great listen. Thanks for making my commute enjoyable this morning!
Biggest takeaway other than learning some new things…I need 37s based on the gearing!
Ah well, form over function on this one…I like the look of 35s!!

@JohnnyUtah2 likes the 4:88's in Rosie though so I don't know you may like it too! Just depends on driving habits

Johnny took me for a ride in Rosie; because I was considering a turbo for the kid’s supercharged, built, locked and armored 40th anniversary on 4.56:1 and 35s.
Nope. Too fast.
Still on for the coilpscked 1fz-fe / h55f swapped fj55 tho.

Yup, 93-4 dudes it's coming. @efjayatee is getting the 1st setup. We're going to be doing a basic setup like the 95-97 that runs 7 lbs of boost but you'll be able to make more HP/TQ because of the ability to tune and then for those with 93-97's that want more than that there will be a big fuel kit (injectors, pump, fuel pressure regulator and associated lines), some extra electronics to manage it and front mount Air to Air intercooler available. All of the above is being fitted to @SHELLBACK's 97 right now and @efjayatee's 93 shows up at the end of this month. It will be as plug and play possible.
