Gixer1460 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Nowt wrong with GSXR rods - smack any rod into valves and they will more than likely bend! Not sure busa rods will suit the application. You want longevity - ditch the busa pistons and get some correct dished turbo pistons with some meat in the crown and ring lands deeper than a gnats nadger! They may be heavier but its a turbo not a revin' 2 smoke! Quote
JK1 Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 Here we go..I got better head, barrels and pistons, just have fetch them.. I also found some rods on e**ay and new valve springs (got a good deal )I´m also going to update the looks of the bike, again I found a cheap tank from an old racer. I moved the fuel filler cap backwards, chopped a little from the height, dented it to get some room etc. I still need to make a new bottom for it. And then there is the tail.... 1 Quote
JK1 Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 The frame and swingarm almost ready for powder coating:I got the cylinders and the head back from the machine shop:A gasket set and a new Cometic head gasket are on their way. Now I got something to do for the holidays J Quote
JK1 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 Maybe I should speed up... I´ve been mostly redoing the tank but it´s finally getting finished. I was wondering if I could use coils like these: Are they powerfull enough for a turbo bike? The coils I´m using currently take a lot of room: 1 Quote

Generally yes but there is some variation between models. For example gen 1 Busa coils seem to be quite good and enough for over 1 bar boost while gen 2 coils are clearly weaker. You will probably need also an ignition amplifier with those unless the ECU has built in high current drivers. Quote
JK1 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Posted February 27, 2016 Ok thanks again Arttu I was told that I should use 2 of these amplifiers: http://www.Eblag.com/itm/Original-Bosch-Schaltgerat-Zundanlage-Zundmodul-NEU-/151581122310?hash=item234af05f06%3Ag%3AuZIAAOSwofxUjr2O J Quote
JK1 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 Here´s the tank and tail (if I can beat the same shape from alu...) I also made a gas cap from angle grinder billet: The engine needs it´s valves adjusted and then some paint. J Quote
Screwriverracing Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Let's hope you never slide over the tank, could end up loosing your valuables. looking good. Cheers SRR 2 Quote

I need to make a new rear subframe, of course, so I may f**c it up anyway.. I also got this: It´s also designed by Steffen, http://street-machines.net/ The frame and wheels are at the powdercoaters. J Quote
JK1 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Got the subframe done: That wiring harness freaks me out every time because its so huge I need to dent the bottom of the tank to get it routed I was thinking about putting tubes on the both sides of the tail, for batteries and for the water/methanol -mix but I guess the wiring takes the other side. I´ll just cover that up, and make a new container for the CH3OH/H2O under the seat.. I also tinkered with thw fork shrouds: J Edited March 20, 2016 by JK1 add.. 1 Quote
JK1 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 Slow progress as usual The bike is on its wheels: And I got the shiny parts painted: Still a lots of little things to do. J 3 Quote
JK1 Posted May 14, 2016 Author Posted May 14, 2016 Subframe ready: This is how the bike looks currently. Fork covers still need paint and the wiring needs some modifications. The bike now has COP-coils and we are going to replace some connectors. Sorry about the picture, its quicker to do some photoshop cleaning than cleaning the actual garage J 5 Quote
JK1 Posted June 19, 2016 Author Posted June 19, 2016 Ignition trouble!!!! No spark with the current setup, and everything should be correct. So I bought 4 VW COP-coils, they don´t need anything else between the coils and ecu. Now I´m still waiting for the correct connectors to arrive. Looks like its july again before the bike is back on the road Quote
JK1 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Finally first start this summer! Now the bike has VAG cop-coils, and the engine seems to run ok. Still a few wires missing, gas tank leaking etc, but I hope the first ride is not too far away Edited July 1, 2016 by JK1 yt Quote
caferacerdan Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 awesome man! congratz on getting it running/riding! 1 Quote
JK1 Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 Some strange noise : Can anyone identify what it is? Quote
