Forced induction victa...... Cool thought. Has been done by a bloke mowerfreak. It was a fairly stock victa 160 fully rebuilt mounted on a bmx bike with a small turbocharger plumbed up to it. He was running a mikuni of some description and from memory was fiddling with carby position I think he started on a draw through system then was wanting to try a blow through setup. As far as forced induction goes I'm not sure how beneficial it would be. I would think You'd probly get a bit of blow by at a certain point on the power stroke as you'd have all ports open for a period and alot of fresh charge getting forced out the exhaust. unless you had a suitable expansion chamber it'd probly just be an impressive exercise in fuel wastage. Lol. And as far as carbys go, gadge is spot on. Plastic g4's aren't much good for anything other than mowing lawns. Use a mikuni or a small tillotson. And gadge, thanks for the welcome.your probly right about the wheels, with the amount of people doing resto's on early victas there will probably be a Chinese substitute hitting the market in the future. But with so many people restoring them, they'll still be very common and as much as I love the look of them, I'd probly rather restore something far less common and that you don't see much of like an early sheerline or one of the victa twins. I wish I could upload pics and videos coz i recon that a lot of you blokes would get a kick out of my twin carbyd sheerline and my reed valved victas.
