  1. Same turbo and does similar. Mine starts boost about 3500rpm, stays at about 10psi for ages but doesn't hit 1 bar until 8-9k. (14psi spring and I do get boost creep sometimes). I'm sure it used to build boost a lot quicker but I'm questioning that. To those that know, would a softer, say 6psi spring and a digital boost controller alter that characteristic letting the controller cap the limit higher, i.e 15psi etc?
  2. I've got 16-47 on mine, mostly as that's what I had to hand. Haven't ridden it like that though. I can't remember my wheel base but roughly 4 inches over on an 1100l wheelbase
  3. Got an in tank set up on mine. Space was at a premium!
  4. My brother has some Chinese ones and was pretty impressed.
  5. I'm running mine at a bar of boost and no dramas.
  6. Well.... Fitted the new seal. Pump had proper flow and after a few mins went back to shit. The new pre pump filter arrived (after the seal) and it wasn't quite the same. Different shape and not as deep which allowed the pump to move a bit. I've used a rubber stop (that came with the pump) to take up the space. It appears to have done the job. I'm not gonna temp faite but I've hit boost and it's not shit it's pants about it. Had proper pressure again when I got home. I'm still not sure exactly what the issue is/was. I don't know if the old filter was blocking the pump? It's clear but I wonder if it was getting squished on the bottom? Either way, for now it's working. Weird though that it was giving exactly the same flow after each test. If it was blocked I would have thought it would give varying results. Everyone loves a photo. Black line is the flow I got when it was weird after 10 secs. Fuel line is what it's doing now after 5
  7. You can swap out the pre pump filter. There is another on inside the plastic housing post pump and they're not replaceable and 350 odd quid! I have a new pre pump filter arriving tomorrow hopefully. The old one seems fine. There's no obvious blockage or restriction there. If I get a chance I'll pull it all to bits, take a bunch of pics. A few bits needed modifying to fit a bigger pump but that was done years ago without drama. I've had it apart again tonight (typed everything before but didn't get time to finish before work) and I've wired up and led to the fuel pump so if the pump loses voltage I'll see. Idea off Wayne rotty! When I took it apart there was a split in one of the o rings. Which I think happened when I last put it in as I checked it before I pushed it together. It could have been the problem but I don't think so. After rebuilding it it put out the same amount of fuel in 2 secs as it did in 10 previous. I think something is unseating after been run for a little bit. I do think there's a separate wiring issue there too.
  8. Vents fine. Fuel flow drops of a cliff. Doesn't return until I've pulled the pump housing apart and started over. Short trip on the bike and it vanished again
  9. The bike is literally driving me fucking insane. Taken the fuel pump housing apart a million times. (Gsxr1000 k7 in a custom tank) Rebuilt with a new pump (walbro gss342) etc and I have perfect fuel flow. Ride it for 5 mins and I have a fucking trickle again. Tried wiring straight off the battery and it's the same. I'm beyond lost with fixing it. 2 months and I can't figure out what it's doing. I've still got the internal regulator be it modified. Which could cause the problem but it seems to be doing what it should be. I can't find anything about the problem I'm having. I know I'm clutching at straws asking but any ideas would be massively appreciated! Might just roll it into a bin at this point.
  10. Malpassi. They do one now that runs lower psi but it's identical but with a softer spring.
  11. Haven't ridden it to check (raining again) but when I took the regulator apart, diaphragm looked fine, spring wasn't sticking or anything but when I reassembled it I've gained 1psi base pressure. I'd guess something wasn't right and now it's reseated itself? Need to stick some miles in and see if it behaves
  12. I keep getting an issue of at random getting zero static fuel pressure or at best very little. No leaks. 1st time it did it I had .3 psi so limped home off boost and adjusted the regulator to 2.5 and it was fine for 5 miles then did it again. Turned the pump on and off a few times and was back to normal but I can't repeat it doing that. Any ideas what's causing it? Is my regulator fucked? I'm gonna take it off shortly and check the diaphragm. Fuel pump, as far as I can tell is fine. I went as far as checking the seals inside of it for damage but all looks fine. The pump hasn't stopped running or anything clogged.
  13. My turbo smart bov wasn't opening on the lightest spring which basically turned out to still be way to heavy. My brother did some shopping for me and bought me a box of springs and even then the lightest one of those was still a bit to heavy. Cut 2 rings off and it's happy. You can shop for springs by dimensions and they're cheap cheap when you buy from a spring place. Bit of guess work involved involved by what spring weight you need though
  14. Gsxf motor, 4 spring clutch with a lock up. I wasn't just dumping the clutch but even easing it out I was spinning. You've all said the track/ road what ever is gonna be different again and again. I think the consistency I want isn't really gonna happen. Not the way that I'd like. I'll lower the tyre a lot more when I'm at the track. Need a pump, mines died I've been pissing about with suspension for more road readiness which feels much less forgiving wheelie and spinning wise. I'll take my laptop racing and see how it goes and adjust some rpms from there but I'm not gonna expect a miracle. Sadly you don't get a 60ft time at the track which is wank. Years back, pre turbo I was doing pretty consistent 1.6-7 which I was happy with. Massively appreciate the input. I'm gutted there's one strip in a realistic travelling distance! I want a nine. 2 dudes have managed it on bikes so I want in on that bandwagon
  15. I guess I'm going the right way with it but I've been totally over thinking it. Practice is super hard as there isn't a bit of road long enough that's quiet enough. Traction really was an issue but all I had was a shit bit of road. 100% needs better suspension set up. Traction felt better with a softer set up which I might go back to for a rwyb in a few weeks. I'm at utter newb it doing this in an adult fashion. Always just felt it out but wanna be more consistent! Thanks guys
  16. Have you had a play with the 2step? I've just set mine uptold and had a fuck about. 4k rpm and about 50% throttle. Span a lot. Launch felt slow really. What kinda rpms and throttle are you using?
  17. I had a set of fibres do this once. Weirdly rode fine. They were soaked in oil for 24 hours before going in, oil was fine in the motor and clutch had done a few 1000 miles. Luckily all the squares were accounted for
  18. They say 38mm but the kit looks like all the right bits. Could message them to confirm. Worst case its not the same and you send it back
  19. The pins have a habit of sticking like glue. They will come out BUT be super fucking careful because those alu mounts are weak as fuck
  20. Also if they weren't genuine orings in there they never last, been there and done it. Worth going genuine for those everytime
  21. Awesome! Much appreciated, thanks Clive!
  22. Never taken a turbo apart what so ever so wanted to ask some grown ups 1st! Cool cool, that sounds pretty straight forward!
