Thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated!

Yeah, Agree. I was thinking underseat pipework would work well. Turbo on show up high in the seat unit, oil drain would work great. Headers would be easier, standard 4-1 with fab work on one pipe.

Oh.. apologies for Yam pics, but it is all in the name of Suzuki research..

Hi guys. Didnt want to bring my build thread off track, so a new thread. What difference does it make with the position of the turbo unit? On a blow through set up, traditionally the unit is always positioned behind the front wheel. As close to the engine as possible. I came across these pics. NOT MINE, JUST GOOGLE... The turbo is in a more remote position. How would this affect things? Im thinking heat.. any thoughts?

Offered a few other bits up and sketched a few brackets to make up. Scavege pump and catch tank shouldnt be a prob. Not sure yet on where to squeeze in the head cooler.. thoughts?

Cooler sits nice and high, well clear of the headers. I made the bracket up for the 750L frame, so need to make another up.

Front end mocked up. Still got the say what now!? stem in, need to source a B12 yoke and get stems swopped. Gives a good idea of position of things though. Mocked up turbo position and things in relation (no pic ... it was a 2 handed job to offer up...lol..)

Wiring loom back in place

Engine moved over

Alittle progress today. I started building back up what i have left of my doner bandit. Will have to strip it again for finishing, and some bits will need redoing. It felt good to reconnect with the bike though. Abit daunting looking at boxes and boxes of bits and no start. But it went alot smother than it could have!

Thanks for that. Disconnect which hose?

Thanks for the help. Im pretty sure the mk1's are not vaccum operated. But was concerned about flow rates.. i may look at an inline option. Not happy about paying the pingel prices.. I aint chasing 370hp so the internal will probably be ok.. if an external pops up at a good price maybe... im hoping for 250hp ish Not much to show pic wise yet, got the lump back into the bandit frame late last night, so hopefully progress will start building momentum.. This is where i was more or less with the say what now!? project, the plan is to transplant all the running gear over to the B12, i am tempted to stick a 240 or 280 rear on while im at it, so going to measure up and look at my options there while playing.. And i have accumulated quite a lot of bits to be playing with so plenty to be getting on with.

Hi guys. I took a while off this project. I did have a build thread on the old site, but list to the depths of the web now. Moved house, lots of renovating to do, young kids and picked up a nasty life changing injury so the bike (well.. pile of bike bits) was sat in mi old mans garage for a good 4/5 yrs... Dusted it off quite a while ago, but quite daunting coming back to a turbo project. Lost where i was with it all and with the chassis/fighter mods i was on with.. thought maybe go back N/A to simple the rebuild, but i have already fitted busa slugs in my block.. comtemplated selling as a project and buying something else, but done lots of reading to catch back up and went through my bits and i dont need much else so ploughing on.. Anyways blurb over, The bike is a B12 mk1. It was a 7/12 project, but i have got rid of the 750L frame for a couple of reasons. 1) Makes life easier, building a modded/turbo'd bandit than basicly a ground up bike squeezeing into the smaller frame, wjile afding the extra turbo stuff. 2) the riding position on the B12 will be much more comfy on my injured shoulder than the say what now!? 3) budgetts limited and i like to do the bits myself, im fancying quite a bit of frame modding than i can handle on a steel frame, but i need to rethink or farm all this out on the alloy frame.. Ok blurb seriously over. I have a little bit more chassis work before diving in completly with the turbo side, but as a start of my brain picking. Do i need a pingle fuel tap, or will the standard B12 tap be sufficient. My headers are a big hurdle at this point. The turbo is a TD04HL-15G. It has an internal wastegate. Are these any good to use, or should i seal it and fit an external? Sorry for the rant, and thanks for any and all help.
