Nice, sort of has the look of a slabby tank.

Doing some turbo build research, best/easiest engine to use
clivegto replied to Jpich85's topic in Forced Induction
@Jpich85just get on & have a go it's the best way to learn, if you get stuck just ask. I even fitted hayabusa pistons the rong way roud and did 50 miles like this until it was pointed out on hear from a pic in my projection thread. -

I run just short of 16psi on pump gas with standard b12 ignition. Done thousands of miles on it now over the last 3 years, No Problemo, so far. -

For a simple setup you don't need a intercooler (cooler air). Mk1 B12 carbs are easy to setup for turbo use. -

As said b12 engine is a good choice, these are OK to around 180hp with no mods hardly. But I would recommend turbo pistons and a lock-up clutch. -
Thanks, trying to coserve as much space as possible.

15mm saved with the relay bracket allows me to fit the fuse box next to it. Knocked another bracket up to mount it from the seat bracket.
-
Made a new bracket for the relay main fuse to replace the standard one I was going to use, this saves a hole 15mm of space
-
Could brace the main frame more so you don't have to fit them.

Made a little bracket out of some aluminum for the ignitech cdi incorporating a b12 cdi rubbery thing as well. Tucked in nicely in front of the battery. Still needs tidying up a bit but it has a home.

Back to length, I came across these extensions for a slabby swinging arm they just slot in and bolt on. Neat idea I thought.
-
But it is & still does not weigh fuck all compared with more heavily braced arms.
-
I now run this Metmachex swinging arm in my Turbo Slabby bike. I do belive the one I made about 4 years ago in a shed in North Yorkshire must have more strength than the standard one. Obviously there are stronger arms available.

8mm plate isn't without stiffness.

They do. I ones bought a motor with a stuck return valve, it blew the oil cooler to bits with the previous owner. I replaced it & all was well. That motor is still in my Turbo Scratcher.

I also use Lee's article to time cams in. Still usually takes me a while with all the calculations

Yet more fittings from torques_uk this time for the fuel pump. Cut 5mm of the top for in & out to gain a bit more room. Fitted some rubber grommets to the feet of the pump (tested it on a battery and it vibrates a bit) as well as the fuel line from the tank to the pump and pump to regulator.

Yea black not left in as long.

Won't be your cup of tea then lol.
