GJG's Turbo EFE

It's been very quite since we featured GJG's yellow EFE a while back, but the man with what was once the fastest normal-aspirated dragbike in Holland is working hard on his return...

On these pages GJG will keep us up-to-date on the progress of his new project.

And you think old GSX's are all about to be extinct by now? Ha!
This is me, shoehorning in a big shiny thing that could be mistaken for a saw-mill dust cyclone...
Old EFE's never die... They just go faster!

The new bike will be much more extreme, dragstrip use only. GSX-R engine, 'Busa wheels, fork and brakes, Bandit swingarms and... a Turbonetics turbo!
The "yellow monster bike" went more or less into retirement. Untill the late nineties it has kept three generations of GSX-R's behind it at the dragstrip.
However it can't competet with the current 'busas and NOS-kits. Any more tuning without loosing street-ability wouldn't be possible so now the bike is being used for small outings with my girlfriend.
Bracketry: These plates were made to mate the EFE frame with the GSX-R engine. Aluminium plates were made courtesy of "Van Bussel Metaaltechniek" using a new 5kW laser, able to cut Aluminium up to 12mm....

T3/4a: This is the very rare sight of a brand new T3/T4 Hybrid, carbon sealed, ceramic ball bearing, Turbonetics Turbo. This thing can pass so much air, an original Garrett T3/T4 can be found on, for instance... a Sierra RS Cosworth (RS 500 Cosworth, for good measure) or the Ford RS200, a Rally-car so fast it was banned. Just imagine what it will be able to do on a bike...

As whe speak, the compressor housing is of to a machine shop so it can be mated with a HSR Turbo carb, that is in the post.

I will keep you all up to date as work progresses slow but steadily.

GJ Geurts.
