Yamaha MT-01 turbo from AMRacing

Yamaha MT-01 turbo is originally a Yamaha MT-01 with 86bhp and 156Nm of torque. But� AM Racing (Sweden) has made this bike to be the most amazing MT-01 ever. After many experiment, experience, and calculation, the bike story� ending with adding turbocharger stage 2 to Yamaha MT-01. As the result are 160 horsepower (measured at the rear wheel) and 230Nm of torque.

AMRacing priorly added this bike� with turbocharger stage 1. The result is- their dyno testing on the stock bike showed that the power died out after about 4500 rpm and that this was something a turbo charger could improve substantial. The bike had at the time only about 1800 km�s on the meter. And ending with turbo for about 5000 km�s without any problems what so ever.

All details for the engine and turbo conversion have been custom made in stainless steel and carbon fibre.� The stock silencers have been replaced with a non-silenced exhaust from the turbo. This was something they were afraid of having to remake because of the noise level, but this turned out great with a sound that really matches the bike�s appearances now. The bike is much more satisfying to ride than a stock bike with a lot more power and maximum boost pressure from 1500 rpm�s and all the way up to rev limit.� The Stage 2 turbo kit costs 56,000 SEK or US$8,600.
