  1. If you ever use a boost controler, use one with a ball and spring. These build up boost way faster. Bleed valves just bleed/leak, this takes longer to actuate the waste gate. Ball spring controllers you recognise on nipples on the bottom, and one 90 degrees on the side
  2. Interesting... The more revs, the more power, but it never gets really exciting.. With the TD04 it starting to lift the front wheel in 4th gear at 110km/h, now it needs to do 160km/h before it does lift the front wheel, just to give an idea. It looks like there's a boost leak, but there isn't, I think..
  3. I just remembered that about 12 years ago Dynoman send me accidently a GSX gasket set imnstead of a GS gasket set, I also have a GS headgasket laying around.. The dowel pins, and the 4 studs between cylinder 1 and 2 and cylinder 3 and 4 are the same with the GSX and GS. The 4 outer studes, and the 4 studs beside the cam tunnel are different. A GSX cylinder block will not fit on a GS crankcase.
  4. Not sure if helpful; Years ago I had problems with my GS1000, ran like crap, couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. I always buy parts from a Suzuki dealer, Suzuki says you should use Denso or NGK sparkplugs, at that moment I had Denso sparkplugs in it. Can't remember why, but I bought new sparkplugs, NGK this time, all problems gone... So, before you start replacing the expensive stuff, are your sparkplugs alright? A good spark outside the cylinder doesn't mean it's ok, I've learnt..
  5. Do the gsx cylinder block fit over the gs studs?
  6. Aha, I didn't look at it like that.. It does look like that with this turbo the last 3 psi do way more as with the TD04 With no boost regulator it's the same. So it's the nature of the beast then, mine does the same as what you discribe. I thought I might have a little leak somewhere in the exhaust or the valve of the wastegate. Problem solved then I thought that because TD05 is bigger the VF should spool up quicker as the TD. What I did notice, with the VF I don't have detonation anymore. Thanks
  7. Hi all, I had a TD04 on my bike (GS1000), put a VF23 on it, have the same boost regulator with a ball and a spring. When I give it to her now, the boost gauge goes to 15 psi, and after about a second it drops to about 11/12 psi. It never did that with the TD04. I know I can solve it by raising the boost a bit, but might there be something wrong? I also think the VF23 spools up a bit slow, the TD04 was more fun. I had a TD05 on it when I did put a turbo on it, it was a bit laggy, but on boost it went very well!! The VF23 comes in very gradually, doesn't really kick in, the more revs the harder it goes, but never really exciting, the TD05 did get exciting and that's supposed to be a bigger turbo. For some reason I think there's something wrong. I disconnected the wastegate, it still spools up the same way, makes a fair amount of boost, gave me a bit of a fright I thought I ask before I start disassembling parts of the bike.. Something wrong, or is it a property of this turbo? Thanks
  8. O-rings on centrel cylinder head nuts? The outer nuts have copper washers, but I never have seen O-rings on other nuts..
  9. For making the holes in the crankcase bigger, I did it like this with my GS1000; Make yourself a disc, 1 side the diameter of the new barrel, the other side the diameter of the headgasket. Put the dowel pins in the crankcase, put the headgasket with the disc in it over the dowel pins, push disc down and draw a line around it. Now take material way with a barrel grinder, finish it with those wheels with emery. Takes about 45 minutes per hole/barrel. For making the base gasket bigger, also do this with a/the disc
  10. 2 nuts at the top, tighten them properly, and turn them out with the lower nut, put a ring spanner over the stud first.
  11. Can't you make the clutch control hydraulic?
  12. I have a fibre cometic gasket. It's just a chain tunnel, no pressure on the oil, just a lot of splatter. Oil is mostly on the front and back, never had problems at the back. The headgasket is a gasket, so why would it create problems? I didn't put an O-ring in because I didn't had one. The teardrop ones at the bottom can be reused too, but do measure the thickness!! If the thickness is still the same you could do it, if they're thinner, replace them. Also feel if they're still soft, if they're hardened replace them!
  13. I haven't put the O-ring on mine. Do put some liquid gasket on the front, and a bit to the sides, of the chain tunnel
