Baron Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 I have problem of choosing which bike I start to modify. Idea atm is to install turbo on it and drive with mild boost <0.7. Later build big bore engine and hit some more boost. What bikes I have: 1. White 7/11, so K 750 frame and powerscreen engine with stock 34 bst carbs and V&H exhaust. 2. Black stock M 1100. Stock 40mm bst carbs and all. 3. K 750 frame. Had blown engine, got all parts to build complete bike. And what else parts I got laying: - 115 000km driven 1127 powerscreen engine, working well. - Older (1193) wiseco piston kit with bored cylinder. For NA use. - Older (1193 or 1216) wiseco lower comp piston kit with bored cylinder. For turbo use. - Carbs on shelf: RS34, bst36 (K750), bst38 (M750), bst34 (1127 powerscreen), bs34ss (GS1100G been on turbo use). - Turbo parts: plenum, exhaust manifold, fuel regulator... Soon going to oder also td05 turbo and other necessary parts. Which one would be easiest to start with? Quote
baldrick Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 the last one- its in bits anyway and you are starting with a clean canvas 1 Quote
Badger76 Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Build number three...… it's the obvious choice and an ideal home for the new turbo Quote
imago Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 No, no, no, you're not thinking properly. Maybe it's the warm weather? What you do is start looking for another bike, preferably one that has the word "project" in the advert, but when a couple come along you buy them both/all. Then in a year or so you buy a complete runner because the project bikes don't fit with the latest version of your plan. Once what started as a complete runner has sat in the garage in bits for a few months/years you sell some/all of them and a few months later start the whole process again. Quote
