  1. Why would putting two turbos away from their energy source help? You end up with 2 having crap efficiency rather than 1!
  2. Maybe people that don't like Pod filters - K&N's are my preference - have probably never had carbs set up with them - easier to blame a simple filter rather than their own ineptitude or tightfistedness LOL! CV's certainly don't like individual filters - they seem to like a 'reservoir' of air greater than an individual cylinder capacity.

    What like that ! LOL!
  4. Possibly pistons placed in barrel to keep right piston with right cylinder, pushed past normal stroke ht. and some damp has got in and caused a bit or corrosion? If it is below the 'normal' wear line, a light hone should take it off.

    Rotor broke

    So, it was stuck to the pick-up magnet (steel obviously) in 1st picture and now its not? Did you remove the screw? How could you not notice the 'fairly obviously broken rotor tip' and not pull it off the magnet! Problem is - it may have picked up a weak magnetic field from the magnet and so will stick (fairly weakly) to anything steel it touches. So IF it has fallen down past the switch, there are a lot of steel bits it can interfere with before it gets to the sump! Best drain the oil and if it's not in that then sump off and pray it's there !

    What do you mean? The void below the oil pressure switch?........................... crankshaft, rods, gears, sump and oil !

    Rotor broke

    Have to tell you that isn't an 1127 rotor or pick up plate! Its an earlier 1052 type! And re Piccy above - you'll need the corresponding Spark box and because its a Blandit you'll need the Blandit Ignition switch or a way of 'fooling' the electrics to work!
  8. Don't go mad with that - it irritates the powers that be and they'll delete them so you're back to square one LOL!
  9. One thing often missed is these were 'usually' used in conjunction with a fairing, at a guess, to provide a fairly still air zone in the absence of an air box for carbs to function better - slightly higher pressure zone - whether the effects can be proven is debatable........ but 'Pops' did know his shit!
  10. Not going to get into the 'do they / don't they' debate - but will state a GSXR will not notice the addition of a turbo oil feed - the pump bleeds off between 25-50% of its pumped pressure and flow so a turbo feed is insignificant! Putting more oil into the head cam space isn't necessarily a bad thing with an oil cooled engine IMO!
  11. Got to ask - if tight for space at top why not use bottom feeds - cheaper fittings as well!
  12. Lifting needles makes them richer - not leaner.
  13. 150hp worth of air is still 150hp worth of air whether it goes in at 8000 or 12000 rpm! And a stock 750M ain't gonna be able to use 150hp worth of air anyway!
  14. Unless you are chasing every last HP then no they are wasted! RS36's will be nicer to use on the road!
  15. IMO RS36's are known to work well on 1216 motors to over 150hp and the factory used 38's for racing so i'd say anything bigger would be wasted and even 38's could be overkill for anything much less than race spec use?

    Thought I recognised that frame colour in the 1st post...........
  17. That's the secret - they don't respond well to disrupted air flow - open, ram pipes, small filters etc.
  18. Good luck - they are a PITA to set up!
  19. re Blandit tap - is it vacuum operated? If so then it'll turn itself off when you get boost!............probably won't flow enough either! An external gate will give better control but mine still has an internal gate @ 370hp.............just saying like! LOL!
  20. Cos some of us mere mortals don't want 100+hp worth of boost to arrive mid corner !
  21. Depends on engine size - mine is sufficient for it to work well.
  22. LOL - are you gonna use that bearing again? Maybe not! Grease is cheap - use loads - Hi Moly Lithium good for bearings.
  23. Its hard enough getting an 1100 to its own redline under load let alone adding another 2000 rpm to it! Plenty 1100's die before 13,000!
  24. They'll be a bit cosy at the seats - 26mm is usual oversize. Of course, offset guides are an option - not cheap or DIY though!

    lol! Seeing how squeezed it is to get the GSXR lump inside those frame rails - looks like it was never designed for anything aircooled - Zed, GS or GSX - which conclusion means a waterboiler, so should be taken out, shot then burnt!
