GSXR1100 turbo update

[Gixer1460]

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!

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....

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

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:

Yes they are powerful enough

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.

Ok thanks again Arttu I was told that I should use 2 of these amplifiers:

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.

[JK1]

Hmm...

[Screwriverracing]

Let's hope you never slide over the tank, could end up loosing your valuables.

looking good.

Cheers SRR

..but maybe not mine

I got this from my idol Steffen

There is always something I hate in my self made tails, so this time I´ll try if someone elses looks better. 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.

[caferacerdan]

gonna look brutal!

[JK1]

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:

add..

[JK1]

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

 

 

[JK1]

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

[JK1]

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

[JK1]

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

It wasn´t..

 

[caferacerdan]

[JK1]

Can anyone identify what it is?

[Captain Chaos]

Thats what I´m hoping for   I just tightened the bolts yesterday, but there may be some gasket thats not seated properly.. I´ll have to check.

That was it:
