clivegto Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 Ordered a oil cooler for it then did a bit of reading (should have done the reading first). The turbo boys n girls don't even run an oil cooler it can be blanked off and a restrictor removed from behind the oil filter, happy dayz . But for now I will rig it all up standard. 1 Quote Link to comment

I was just about to say the same. Removal of the oil cooler is quite common, it’s the normal thing when fitting a turbo. I know a few bikes locally without one, they run through Aussie summers, run at the drags etc without a drama. A local lad here did a 60+ mile ride to the strip, ran a high 8, rode home.. turbo Busa’s without the oil cooler. I was a bit suspicious of how safe it was but the guys I know don’t have dramas.

Tony Nitrous Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) I’ve been watching, reading, researching for quite a while. There’s a whole heap of options, but I’m currently getting drawn back to the RCC kits. They have a LOT of happy customers and Richard really seems to back up his product. Being out the back of beyond I don’t have the option of places like BigCC and FastByMe within driving distance.

I will buy bits and pieces and make the rest myself as I go unless a cheap secondhand kit comes up for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 I think I may have found the cutting out problem the fuel tap was completely blocked solid with crud that had gone hard. There is loads of rust and shit in the bottom of the tank. Took the external fuel pump off which all looks good but it must have been sucking fuel through the return pipe. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'll be changing the pump when it goes turbo but hopefully this one will be fine for now so I can ride round on it a bit to get a feel of the bike if that makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment

clivegto Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 New oil cooler arrived so I cleaned the oil pipes up with a spinny wire brush then painted them with my favourite paint Lidl gloss black . I also bought a 20L drum of molasses . 4 Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 what does the molasses do Clive, and what is it ? Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 (edited) 39 minutes ago, TonyGee said: what does the molasses do Clive, and what is it ? Bit like marmite for animals. I'm going to seal the fuel tank up then splosh it about with a big bag full of m8 nuts fresh petrol to remove as much crud as as possible. Then flush it out with water fill it with 50/50 mix of molasses and water. Leave it for 2 weeks turning it every other day. Empty it and save as it can be used again flush with water, dry it out with heat gun then rinse with diesel to stop it flash rusting, this should remove any crud and rust left in the tank .

Pricey, but you get everything you need in one hit so saves a fair bit of faffing about. Quote Link to comment
