    As far as I know there aren't too many cars using ball bearing Garretts from factory. They are mainly aftermarket turbos. Some Subarus use ball bearing IHIs, for example Legacy WRX STi (not all of them, just some year models). So I'm afraid it might be slightly challenging to find good second hand ball bearing turbo for decent money.

    Cheers, not especially looking for Garrett's, it was just an example. :) 

    @MeanBean49IHI vf23 sounds like a very good idea for my likes

  2. Hi There! :)

    As the voices told me I should be looking for a ceramic ball bearing turbo to fit to my setup, I am looking after some deep dungeons on the internet but cannot seem to find the correct answer which are good options. @Leblowskiis using a Garrett GT2560R which would be great, but what would interest me is which car engines have turbo's like that?

    It makes the sourcing of a hairdryer for me a bit easier. I am not looking for very big BHP numbers but just a fine usable turbo with a wide powerband.

  3. My opinion on this as a Cloggy and OSS related, there aren't many interesting bikeshows/events to which we can attend as OSS. 

    Yes, meeting up somewhere is always an option but this would be more of a chitchat day/evening rather than attending an event. In my opinion a fair bit of people always attend the Biker Classics at Spa but most of the people are racing their dinosaurs rather than showcasing them. Shows like fighterama and Street or Track aren't happening anymore. Compared to the UK the bike scene is quite different over here...

    Like I said earlier i wouldnt go with less cooling area than standard.

    Bandits have smaller coolers because they are lower compression and generate less heat. 

    Pretty sure sure the gsxf motor is the short stroke one which revs quite high too. They tend to run quite a bit hotter than a bandit does.

    That would explain why my 1100F engined Katana with B12 cooler runs hot... 

  5. I have one of those sets which you've posted in your first post, as there was no-one who could reproduce them else. They look good. Still waiting to fit as I want to fit them on the bodywork and then apply a clearcoat.

  6. Yes, but that was also combined with a K1-2-3 rear shock which rises the rear a bit. On a slabby these forks are allright, but the bike will sit lower to the ground in general. Also, I do think some stiffer springs will help a bit.

    That Eblag link you posted is the same kit I've got on my 750, ended up with about 150mm of hose left over! 

    But they sell them without hoses? Well, going to need some more for my fuel pump so I'll put the order together this weekend and we'll see from there...

  8. Head cooler indeed might be the next step, but just to be more flexible with fitting (honestly Viz, it's not for the bling') I want to replace the std lines. Just to be clear, in the first link in my topic is a reference to:

    • Suzuki GSXR Cam Cover Oil Feed Adapter In AN-6 (AN6) - Head Cooler TOP x 2 
    • AN -6 (AN6) Male To AN8 Female Tee Adapter Fitting x 1 
    • Suzuki GSXR Engine To Cam Cover Oil Feed Adapter In AN -8 (AN8) - Head Cooler x 1

    So, judging by the Peel contingent's desire to go and see the Purple Helmets in Onchan on Mad Sunday evening, there'll be no-one top meet up with...

    Yeah well we never went to see the helmets and would be rude not to. We can meet somewhere along the weekend?  We will probably be in Peel in the afternoon anyway at Peel day. 

  10. Well, I thought by myself I better start building a bike properly. So before turbocharging it, I want to replace the carbs on an 1100 (currently 1127) engine with throttlebodies from a K2 600. What would be the other requirements to get this running NA? I need an ECU system to power the TB's, maybe different ignition pickup etc?
