Having brought a k3 b12 as a project (in an only half complete state) I seem to be about 5mm short on the spacers for the rear wheel. Not sure what one I'm missing. Perhaps one that goes between the caliper hanger and the swingarm? Anyway heres some pics.

Cam sync is only needed for sequential ignition. For wasted spark it doesn't need to know where the cam is. My mazda runs 4-1 megasquirt and has no problems starting or otherwise and times the spark as accurately as I can see with my timing light. Granted a bike engine cranks differently and accelerates through the revs much faster than a car one but I would have thought it would still work. I reckon I'll give it a go anyway.

How exactly did you do the cam sync? Glue a magnet to a cam and drill hole for sensor in the cam cover? I'm looking at doing exactly this (4-1 wheel + cam sync) when I get my efi up and running

Is there any reason not to use the stock trigger wheel with the big tooth ground off to make a 4-1 wheel. Of course it has less resolution than a 36 or 24 wheel but if 4 teeth is good enough for OEM surely it must be reasonably workable.

Yes I will have the ms control the ignition. Was thinking get a trigger wheel made to suit stock vr sensor although idealy I'd want a cam sensor as well so I don't have to run wasted spark. I had heard stock diaphragm clutch is poo and extra spring only improves it a little but be happy to stand corrected. Happy side of 200bhp is my goal so not too extreme

That sounds a bit better than i feared wombat. Just cos the faq's page for mtc lock up clutches says you should avoid/may not be able to pull in the clutch at high speed/rpm and doing so could damage it. Perhaps they are being overly cautious or just talking about a setup with heavy weights? I want to ride on the road and track. No desire to go drag racing therefore having use of the clutch at high speed/rpm is important to me. Other option I'm looking at is convert to gsxr 750 clutch and HD springs which won't be massively cheaper than a lockup but keeps it conventional. Will it handle moderate boost is the question...

Hello all. I'm new here. Have had a good look through the forum already (it's brilliant) hopefully I don't ask any bone questions....anyway have just brought a bandit 1200 with the intention of turbo charging it. I want to just enjoy riding it this summer while gathering parts for the winter project. So here's what I'm thinking: *turbo manifold + plenum +downpipe fabricated *td04 turbo from subaru as they can be had for peanuts, reasonably small and I have one in my kit car (so makes it interchangeable) *no intercooler if I can get away with it. Might consider water/methanol injection *gsxr 600 throttle bodies and microsquirt efI as I really dislike carbs and have a bit of experience with Ms *injectors hopefully cheaply acquired off something common with 4 wheels *something to drop the CR. Either bore and use hayabusa pistons or use head spacer. *suitable clutch So firstly would like to know if this seems like a sensible setup and or where I'm going wrong. Secondly what's the score with lock up clutches. Having never looked at one closely it would seem that when the flyweight swing out at high rpm and do their magic it would prevent you pulling the clutch in making rev matched downshifts impossible. Or am I completely misguided here. Could I just use heavy springs instead and deal with a wrist workout? Thirdly opinions on those two methods to drop CR. Some have said hayabusa pistons while others say a head spacer. Or both! Or neither (for a mild setup) Opinions, suggestions and outright abuse all graciously accepted.
