94RF1146 Posted March 13, 2022 Author Posted March 13, 2022 I'm using the water ports on the turbo core. It complicates the plumbing a bit but I want to protect my investment. The FR has a nipple at the end of the cooling pipe at the front of the block. Anybody else using them ? MM Quote
94RF1146 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Posted March 20, 2022 I welded a 1/2" x 1" bar on the plenum and installed the IAT, fuel pressure regular boost reference, wastegate bottom port and MAP boost reference . Cooling system all done. Basic wiring loom all done. Ignition, neutral switch, oil pressure switch, kill switch, tether switch, starter and horn button for air shifter done. wiring the MAXXEcu next week. And it finally stop raining ! took the Busa out for a spin. MM 3 Quote
94RF1146 Posted March 28, 2022 Author Posted March 28, 2022 Fabricated a dash and painted the subframe black. Working on the harness this week. Waiting for my oil pressure sensor. Studying the MaxxEcu software. pretty cool stuff! Found where to get E85 nearby with steady 86-88%. 5 Quote
94RF1146 Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Little bit more done today. Installed a bunch of 2 & 3 wires Deutsch connectors. Love those connectors ! All injectors connectors installed hooked up. To do: - Front & back wheel sensor install - Feeds from fuse box / relays connections to MaxxEcu - Programming & tuning - 16 / 40 gearing - The RCA 7" tablet is garbage. Will get a Samsung 8".

94RF1146 Posted April 27, 2022 Author Posted April 27, 2022 It's starting to look pletty in the front... Bought a Samsung A7 Lite for dash. Waiting for the rubber case to arrive. 5 Quote
94RF1146 Posted April 28, 2022 Author Posted April 28, 2022 Little setback, fncked up my oil pan trying to weld it. Another one ordered from Eblag. I'm trying to get ready for Canadian Motorcycle Drag Racing Association event... MM 1 Quote
mikeyd Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 That bike is looking so bad ass! waiting for dyno sheet. Quote
94RF1146 Posted May 2, 2022 Author Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) My team of leprechauns made some progress on the bike... Only things left to do are the catch cans, ECU configuration, get some E85 and startup. I had to trim my dash plate twice. Also marked where to trim the bodywork for the BOV. Doing that sometime this week. We'll do configuration when my friend is available. Cheers, MM Edited May 2, 2022 by 94RF1146 1 Quote
94RF1146 Posted May 7, 2022 Author Posted May 7, 2022 Little more done... Possibly startup tomorrow. MM 4 Quote
Arttu Posted May 8, 2022 Posted May 8, 2022 Looking good! Although I think it would have been even more cool with some RF style fairings Quote

My RF fairing was damaged. The fins on the side were blocking the install, tank was too high, I couldn't tuck in properly. Only RF parts left are 1/2 the frame and the cylinder head. She had her good looking days (2013).... Edited May 8, 2022 by 94RF1146 4 Quote

Tastiest RF I've ever seen, I can recall a build thread somewhere from years gone by, love this. Was this build thread on the old Oss site? Quote

94RF1146 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Posted May 12, 2022 We got the bike started yesterday. Few things to correct / to do : - Fuel leak - Mark TDC on the trigger wheel - My 28 years old starter gave up. I have a second one - Running rich right now. - Refill 2 CO2 bottle. Awaiting ASA shut off valve. Love the whistle from the turbo ( GTX3576R Gen 2) MM Quote
GSX1100dreamn Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 I imagined this is how my build was going to be like (minus turbo) and my backyard tight arse reality set in... ... cool story. Cheers Andrew. Quote
94RF1146 Posted May 15, 2022 Author Posted May 15, 2022 Another setback. Starter clutch bearing is worn out. On the sideline for a month. Pretty pissed off. MM Quote
94RF1146 Posted May 24, 2022 Author Posted May 24, 2022 A friend here locally has a outer basket in his spare motor. That will save my butt! Changing the o-rings on my injectors for thicker ones. Got a Viton o-ring kit coming. Everything is good. Went racing with my Busa this weekend. First time out. Lost in 3rd round, I was so close ... Finished in 3rd place in my class. MM 1 Quote
94RF1146 Posted June 3, 2022 Author Posted June 3, 2022 Bike's running, swapped outer basket with a decent one. Now it's fine tuning & configuration when my friend is available. MM 2 Quote
