Looking at the cooler threads - they are goosed and probably, even with the correct threads, it's unlikely they'd tighten down correctly! Just hope the line fittings aren't equally mullered.
-
OEM valve seals are usually the 'gold standard' - aftermarket ones usually cause problems / wear out prematurely! Car turbo specialist - there's an oxymoron. The adequate dribble of pressurised oil won't do 'jack shit' for cooling - they are designed to run at and in excess of 900 deg. of course it's hot - thats how they work!
-
Could be ^^^ but more likely (in my opinion!) too much oil pressure to turbo / drainage from turbo. It gets past the bearings, into airflow and coats the inlet tract. Mine does it and it coats the insides of the intercooler as well - at least the aluminum won't rust! I have really choked down on the oil feed to the turbo - 1mm jet - but it still does it and at present I can't be arsed to sort it!
-
Trust me - it doesn't. The rad isn't anodised - they are painted and the aluminium threads soon get exposed.
-
Ultimately if you want to stay / get cooler . . . . . . . . drive slower / use less rev's. Going fast needs HP . . . . HP = heat, can't have one without the other. If you make more heat than stock, then you need more cooling area or same area cooled longer. An additional cooler addresses both points - no downsides!
-
^^^ Gets my vote ! When correct, the taper seats between fitting and rad will seal with little more than finger tightening - PTFE on the threads only used to stop threads galling / welding together over time - NOT SEALING LEAKS

I think the 750 / 1100 top gear ratio's are near enough the same so that won't change but if you are killing 1st gear (for whatever reason ) then installing thinner width gears is not going to improve your reliability! Power helps - junk the CV's add 36mm Flatties job done - 3rd gear wheelies on the throttle and with stock gearing +152hp

750/1100 Hybrid Gearbox?
Gixer1460 replied to Danm54's topic in Water Cooled, V-Twins, Singles and 2-strokes
Now that's just cheating but I understand the chain hits the cases also with an 18T - a 17T with a 532 chain was pretty close for me. -

On a GSXR based cases, a 18T front won't fit - many have tried! -
750/1100 Hybrid Gearbox?
Gixer1460 replied to Danm54's topic in Water Cooled, V-Twins, Singles and 2-strokes
I'm a bit confused - speed is a function of HP v's Drag and as a lot of hp is needed to do 200mph, it's easy enough to get a bike rolling with a less than optimal 1st or 2nd gears. Superstreet bikes use std (worked on) gearboxes and hit 200mph in the quarter - its the clutch that takes the grief. Are the 750 gears so significantly different and can you avoid a large step to 3rd if it works at all? -
No inconvenience - just clarifying for those that may not appreciate the difference.
-
Don't know much about the H2 but just reading the Wiki about it - bit more sophisticated than a Procharger - but yes!
-
I'm intrigued to know which pump you've used as the carb'd CBR's used a std low pressure interrupter pump that isn't regulated and the injected models used a regulated high pressure 3 bar pump. I suspect the former as they stop once bowl is full and start again once level drops?
-
Then you would use a Centrifugal ProCharger type unit - they give linear boost with revs!
-
Explain please? Turbo (heat driven supercharger) positive displacement supercharging or centrifugal supercharging outputs can be tailored to most power delivery requirements?
-
Depends on how tidy you want the install to be? Obviously an in-tank is a lot less exposed plumbing but off board pump and reg leaves the tank standardish depending whether you use a deadhead or return line constant flow bypass install. Pumps do fail inexplicably so an external pump is sometimes easier to swop out and probably an easier install - I chose this route on my GSXR.
-
HyperPro progressive springs and an Ohlins out back - transformed!
-
Nothing OEM is cheap - doesn't mean it's better though!
-
Hagon gets my vote only as i've never used Maxton ! They built me a custom shock with spec'd up spring and drag suited damping - worked great and at same cost as their usual price.
-
At idle and cruise when airflow is low ie. relatively closed throttle, the benefit of exactly metered and atomised injected fuel certainly helps. My turbo used to run low of 12.5 : 1 AFR with a static CR of 9.5 : 1 and upto two bar boost. Admittedly using high octane fuel, intercooler and 3D mapped Ignition - allowed 42 deg timing off boost / cruise condition ...... as I said you don't have to use band aids with the correct 'stuff'
-
Why? 13.2 : 1 AFR is correct max power mixture - 14.7 : 1 is chemically correct total burn mixture. Using ratios below 12 : 1 IMO is unnecessary if the limitations of the fuel / ignition were understood and compensated for.
-
It was only a friendly question! The OP has pressed up a nice crank to exacting tolerances - its straight and all the parts may be weight matched - but what about the weld dotted around the pins? Only takes a few grams to end up with a vibe monster. V&H dynamically balance their cranks - https://products.vanceandhines.com/store/suzuki/33-9113/

Here's the puppies ....... https://www.knfilters.com/air-filters/powersports/ru-2922-universal-clamp-on-air-filter - should have been 60mm dia!
-
Lots / most are oval........... filters tend to be round - you just them stretch to fit - 55mm dia rings a bell for filter hole size but I could be wrong !
-
Sustained or Redline through gears? I'd say its potential life would be short with those rpm's if sustained!
