  1. Per inch of bore so 78mm bore needs 0.006" not 0.012" - so yes they'll be clattery!
  2. Its not common at all - but MBE systems aren't 'common or garden' either. Most ecu's will take Hall or inductive triggers though with varying tooth patterns.
  3. Stationary or when moving? If latter could be output shaft bearing?
  4. Looking longingly at that master cylinder..........its a keeper!
  5. ie. you have to use 1100L / M / N yokes as well but can be slid through the yokes to get the geometry back.
  6. Every GSXR i've built has used them - its not an issue!
  7. Nothing to stop you using engine coolant water through an intercooler! At a constant 70-80 deg C its certainly cooler than high boost air temps. Standalone liquid intercooler fluid might work for a 7 second blat on a 1/4 mile but it'll soon well exceed the air temp its trying to cool so needs cooling itself!
  8. I think you'll struggle! Only one I know of was MC Xpress in Sweden.......loadsa money! Most peeps are switching to water cooled intercoolers - not much use on bikes without water in them!
  9. Best reason to strip out all those stupid devices out of a loom, you want power from point A via switch to point B not via X, y and Z when the sun is in the east and there's rain in the air!
  10. Not knocking the ingenuity for slowing the pumps but doesn't it over complicate mapping the injectors with large jumps between low and high speed? Plus isn't it something else to go wrong un-necessarily? But do agree with finding the lowest amp pump possible - gone are the days of simply slapping a 044 on and knowing it'll work.......................for a while at least with 11A draw!
  11. If you want to spend that sort of money i'd suggest looking at a https://www.diyautotune.com/product/ms3-pro-standalone-ecu-only/ A very well featured unit and proven waterproof so good on a bike whereas a lot of the others are only 'shower resistant' Not as cheap as they used to be but compared to others its almost comparable to a MoTec if not surpassing it in some areas!
  12. S'wot he said! You've just lost the carb pre turbo and stuck some injectors in the plenum / inlet.
  13. Eh? Most turbo's just rely on 3 or 4 screws and a couple of plates or large circlips to hold turbine housing to the core so hardly rocket science to disassemble.
  14. Move the oil cooler! Works for me under the seat.
  15. You could always ceramic coat the turbine housing - never rusts, withstands 1200 deg's and keeps the heat in for better spool .......... marginal possibility!
  16. Great if you're swopping or constantly off'ing and on'ing but how many times do you need to remove a wastegate quickly?
  17. Connected and shared is the best way
  18. They do but you have to set a baseline static pressure first then they add boost pressure on to it. If you had no pressure static you wouldn't get any fuel!
  19. Build a recirculating system if your concerned so it breathes filtered air. No one seems to worry about it after blasting down runways at 200 mph and slamming the throttles shut!
  20. BOV's are supposed to open under high vacuum ie. at idle so the fluttering is normal.
  21. Word of caution - Gasgacinch...... http://gasgacinch.com/home/products/ is not ideal with paper /card type gaskets. Its more of a metal to metal type product. I've used it religiously for copper head gaskets in turbo builds and never had a leak. Grease on the paper / card ones or used dry - reuse thicker ones once / twice if you are lucky or expect leaks.
  22. You emphatically do not have to remove the cylinder studs to get the head off - no matter how claggy they are! There are 12 nuts and one M6 screw - if these are all on the bench it is just gasket sticksion holding them together. A dead blow hammer aimed upward or a carefully applied pry bar across the joint between the fins and twisted NOT smacked with a hammer usually breaks the seal! Trying to remove cylinder studs prior to removing the head would try the patience of a saint as there is little enough thread to get one nut on!
  23. Nope! I've used two cable and single cable throttles and noticed no difference but i've heard they can get sticky if old!
  24. Few extra $$$ - yeah like double'ish! I got RS40's and some FCR41's - both work good on my big GSXR but the RS's do rattle a bit (which is oldskool init!)
  25. Step this way.........welcome to the Dark Side! You know you want it - don't fight it.
