Had it running today. Boost guage was going mental. Did you have to do anything to damp the needle @Paulm?
-
Couple turns and it fired up. Chuffed to bits. The whistle when slowing down is sexy. Now the fun starts dialling it in. Couple of issues. Won't idle without choke so possibly needs bigger pilots? Float heights are stock and not sure if raising/reducing them will help the idle. Anybody help?
-
Ah really? That would make life simpler. Thanks Paul.
-
Ta. I will fit a take off to the plenum. Every day is a school day.

Excuse me if it's a daft question, can I plumb the boost guage into the pipe from the turbo to the actuator? Or am I better off fitting a take off to the plenum.

This is my budget ish build. Bike including purchase has cost me £383 up to now, before the turbo kit was purchased. It is 100% mechanically sound, just looks like a shitter. Took me 45 mins start to finish to paint it which gives some idea if it's appearance. I'm not much of a bike cleaner these days so no shiny bits. My first time to turbo a bike. Got a van that's boosted which is wicked fun so a Bandit was always gonna be next. Always open to constructive criticism and advice.

Makes perfect sense. Ta
-
Boosted yes. Correct fuel pump and regulator fitted. The Malpassi regulator has a boost reference port. Is it necessary for low boost applications?
-
Dunno really. Seemed like the right idea. No guage needed anywhere apart from initial set up? How about AFR or a boost guage?
-
Looking for suggestions for a bar mounted fuel pressure guage. Only needs to read 2psi so 3 or 4 psi max?

So could you return the oil via a fitting in the sump plug? Like a banjo fitting? -

Can you make me one @Gsxrsam My first dabble in turbos on a bike so keeping costs down for now. Made the mistake of putting a bigger turbo on my van Now I'm addicted. Slipperyslope. Love low end torque. -

Thanks. It is an electric pump. So I could get away with mounting on the lower frame rail? -
Spent ages going through search function but can't find good pictures. Looking for ideas to mount the scavenge pump. Looks a bit vulnerable mounted to the sump.

How to get a Bandit 1200 engine ready for a Turbo
Pegleg replied to Brians 7/12's topic in Oil Cooled
Don't forget @1260Pete1at Triple P for the budget option. -
Maybe. It seems the piston has to travel to far before contacting the pushrod.
-
Definitely approaching that. Should be simple to fix but I'm stumped.
-
The slave cylinder piston is pumping out too far on my Bandit 12. Thought I'd sussed it as the clutch that came with the engine was incorrectly assembled. Pushrods are correct. Fluid returns to the master cylinder fine. Any ideas?
-
I've used the cheap intake rubbers and they worked fine. Think Tourmax are the better ones.
