anyone know where to find a turbo for 89 fzr 1000

No kits available. You'll have to fabricate one yourself.

ditto what cad said. You're going to have to fab ALOT of things up. pressurise the carbs, if you want to make an intercooler, cool, if not what evs. Run lower compression, thicker head gasket?. have a custom exhuast manifold.

Also remember these cranks are good up to like 200hp. over that, you're going to break it. Get a billet clutch basket as the 1k is extremely weak as it is, let alone boosted. Alot of work. I'd go with different rods for sure. Exup Elvis on exupworldwide had turbo'd his. F*cking sick. Something like 210 rwhp on 8 psi. Streched 6 inchs. a beastttt.

Why do you wanna turbo? just to do something different? I've only seen 2 fzr's turbo'd. Elvis' and one on youtube that said it was making 250 rwhp. find that number sorta hard to believe but hell who knows.

Be prepared that it will cost mucho $.

I seriously think about adapting a snowmobile kit if I were you, and seriously considering a turbo-ed bike.

When Yamaha started using their bike based 1000cc four strokes in sleds, the turbo peeps jumped right on the bandwagon

If you're looking for quicker take-offs, you can always get a larger rear / smaller front sprocket. Not sure if you've done this already.

no, i might try that thanks alot

you can also do motor work... oversize valves. bore it out. weisco makes a 1040 and 1070 kit, JE makes a nice 1040 kit. you can have the crank sent out to get lightened a balanced, you can do ti-rods. you can easily get the bike to 150 rwhp with 2-3 grand.

Try TTS here in the uk, those guys will fabriacate / make a suitable turbo kit for almost any bike they're reasonable priced to i believe
