The Turbo Yamaha MT10 | Purpose Built Moto

Join us at Purpose Built Moto as we take on the challenge of bringing a turbocharged Yamaha MT10 back to life. Our customer got a little too trigger-happy with the boost tap on his MT10 and it grenaded.
In this video, Tom talks us through the process of rebuilding the engine, and what we had to do to make sure that the bike could run in a high-performance state for a long time.
A first for us here at Purpose Built Moto, boosted bikes just hit differently.

[@KarlBryngelsson]

230hp @ 10psi with forged pistons and con rods is always gonna be overkill mods for such low hp, you don’t even need the intercooler but I think that is the only reasonable upgrade you made to this. The rest is just a waste of money. When you wanna go for 350-700hp is when you need to look at upgrading internal components, IC and standalone ECU’s Any 1000cc bike can handle that amount of power with a stock bottom end, lowered compression by having a thicker headgasket and stiffer clutch springs. Then it’s all in the tune that’s gonna make sure the bike runs forever Here in Sweden we’ve been building bikes with 200-320hp with just these simple changes for over 30 years and they run forever. My K5 turbo with 270whp with stock internals, no intercooler etc etc has been running since 2017 Nice to see a Yamaha turbo, not something you see very often. So props to that and you’ll learn more along the way if you keep building more turbo bikes in the future. Keep it up, but keep it simple for these kind of builds 👍🏼

[@PurposeBuiltMoto]

All of that may be relevant, but as we mention it started with a completely blown motor from running 13PSI. So rather than rebuild a stock motor, we went and did the upgrades properly to handle higher HP and eventually more boost.

[@moal4378]

for 230, yeah, but the original owner blew the motor. They wouldve needed new pistons and rods anyways. Might as well get forged and lower compression pistons since youre already in there. The build has potential to be making way more power but its sick either way

[@delilahzx10r47]

Your wrong. The mt10 has steel con rods & alot of steel internals unlike the r1... that is the big weak link on them

[@moon11230]

I love the way bike came out with kit and stretched look But I’m also interested in auxiliary lights on the bike if it’s possible let me know what kind of fork mount you used or where I can get them thanks 🙏

[@moal4378]

Love the look of this build and how it turned out! My one question is, why couldnt the intercooler be placed under the bike so as to make for a cleaner look? Would that not have been feasible? Either way, its badass!

[@joew7897]

I don't doubt it could be done, but he is already losing clearance with the extended swing arm. Add an intercooler beneath it, and you will inevitably smash it riding on the street.

[@diddelydouche5296]

[@iwasatoad]

Blue mine up with extreme creations kit as well just finished up rebuilding and upgrading it. prior to melt down was 215hp 110 lb/ft tq. after rebuild was 188hp 100 lb/ft tq ( injector limited ) put new injectors in it last year and worked out a active wide band with FT ECU so it can adjust on the fly up to 5 percent. waiting to take it down to get tuned again. side note this was all on pump 91 octane. 91 being only reliable non ethanol at 95% or more of northern USA. was thinking of E85 but can never get true E85 and limited places. In hopes to get to 220-230 at wheel and call it good as me and cycle only weight 550-560lbs. was insane at 215hp (150mph wheelies ( Re geared )) ( melted as leaned out ) was little lacking at 188hp ( no power wheelie past 120mph ) running 11:1 compression 7.5lbs of boost. 188hp was good daily but left wanting more and only needed injectors as throttle by wire only had 100 percent at 7500 rpm and cliff to it and dove off it ( reminded me a 80's turbo cars )

[@PurposeBuiltMoto]

Good to hear we're getting some good numbers comparitively

[@iwasatoad]

@@PurposeBuiltMoto indeed will half to update when I get it tuned with the new 830cc injectors this year. was thinking double radiator and air to water intercooler. will wait to see if heat is a problem with charge temp ( had no problem at 7.5lbs last year )

Is the bike running on regular pump fuel or some kind of race/E85 mix?

[@PurposeBuiltMoto]

It runs on standard fuel

[@matt3477]

I know you mention it shortly after, but it probably would have been nice to say at the start that the engine blowing wasn't extreme creations fault

[@PurposeBuiltMoto]

I make that very clear when I say the rider got a little excited and wound the boost way up.

[@stevefarrimond]

Is that correct for the watergate to be on the exhaust? Surely it’s to relieve boost pressure, therefore should be on the boost pipe?

[@PurposeBuiltMoto]

Check out some info about turbo systems, you’re thinking about the wrong part.

[@stevefarrimond]

Ah ok. I thought the waste gate was the thing at the bottom and is that not attached to the exhaust?

[@stevefarrimond]

Just had a google, I’m right in what I’ve seen and you’re right in what you’ve made. I (wrongly) assumed the waste gate bled off boost pressure. But In fact it bleeds off exhaust flow to the turbo. I’ve learnt something.

[@PurposeBuiltMoto]

You’re thinking of the BOV

Everyone I know that’s had a MT10 turbo kit or mt09 turbo kit from EC had never had any issues with the factory turbo setup. How many kms did this dude doo? And how much boost did he put it up? Sounds suss

[@PurposeBuiltMoto]

Like I said in the video. He wound the boost up past the recommended 7PSI (like any red blooded rider would) but take a look at the kits and there’s definitely room for improvement, which is what our client wanted

[@halomaster985]

10% more power for a little extra noise? Seems like a no-brainer to me...But I pee standing up.

[@PurposeBuiltMoto]

Righto captain big nuts

[@TheBrainHacker888]

i like the australian gear he wear

[@sage_in4140]

Imagine what the torque test would be on this thing, thay should test it and say the results

[@bpg786]

Its a gorgeous build, but the reality is Highway Patrol would have a field day with it. I'm not sure redirecting the dump pipe into the exhaust will suddenly make it legal. The air filter and aftermarket exhaust are very obvious. Unfortunately you can't make any modifications to a vehicle that impact its emissions, without an engineering certification. Otherwise it invalidates the registration. Not to mention significant changes to suspension like an extended swing arm. Then there is insurance, a Green Slip is invalid without valid registration let alone comprehensive insurance. Its quite a risk riding that on the road and I don't mean the safety shorts. But since you do this for a living I'm sure you would already know that and hey, you only live once. Ride safe 👍🏻

[@jaredjensen2668]

Where do you live?

[@bpg786]

@jaredjensen2668 Australia. They make it difficult to make big modifications to vehicles legally without getting them engineered. Highway Patrol often, but not always, seems to attract a-holes, and many of them love writing up defects.

[@Right-Handed_Neutrino]

Man, I want to do a turbo build so badly. I'm completely rebuilding an 07 GSX-R 750 and I want to turbo it with the headwork, possibly coating the piston sideskirts, mains, piston pin with DLC & cerkote the top of the pistons, but I just can't afford a set of forged pistons & rods. What I want to build: I want to build a bike around a VFR1200 engine, do some headwork, wrap a trellis frame around it in candy lime green metallic, single side swingarm and chain driven, not shaft like the VFR's, get some camshafts from Webcams made, throw on a thin head gasket to bump up the compression to 14.0:1, run an AEM Ethanol rated fuel pump, ethanol sensor, fuel injectors, ECU with atleast 2 maps (93 & E-85.) That V4 engine sounds so sweet and is easily capable of 200+hp @ 1200cc's. And if I had money to dump into it, I'd put a turbo on it & run a methanol injection system. You ought to look into running water/meth injection instead of that heavy cumbersome intercooler.

No doubt you know what you're doing but I can guarantee than intake pipe is too close to the chain. Crazy how much both chain and suspension move.

[@PurposeBuiltMoto]

I can guarantee it’s not, now who’s opinion do you think is more valid here? 😊

[@SDrtheone]

@@PurposeBuiltMoto okay go watch any bike on a dyno and see how much the bottom of the chain ripples. The only tension in a chain is from the top of the front sprocket to the top of the year sprocket. That pipe will have a hole cut into in in 10 miles of hard riding.

[@SDrtheone]

@@PurposeBuiltMoto also not about “who is more valid” dickhead. It’s physics. Chains ripple, stretch, skrink, bend at high speed. Can’t deny physics.
