Kid Kearsley Posted May 5, 2018 Author Posted May 5, 2018 Just chilling having a beer with the bike. When I first built this bike I could of only dreamed of having an intercooled, gtx30, billet block, flowed head, carrillo rods etc etc. Somehow I have been very lucky to obtain these pieces of metal to adorn my bike. To those that have helped, iv borrowed from, stolen from and gained knowledge from, me and the bike both thank you from the bottom of our sumps. Go the Winged Hammers. 13 Quote
Kid Kearsley Posted May 5, 2018 Author Posted May 5, 2018 Locked and loaded to go FBM in the morning to finish the last bits of fabrication 9 Quote
no class Posted May 6, 2018 Posted May 6, 2018 Goooo git'em kid ! Curious to see what the new gtx turbo puts out . Quote
Kid Kearsley Posted May 7, 2018 Author Posted May 7, 2018 Dave modified the Intercooler pipe for me so it would clear the big block, fitted a scavenge pump minus one fitting on order. Fresh cam cover and that's the engine boxed off asides tuning. Just chain, brake rebuild, rejig of wiring, route fuel hose and bodywork to go. 9 Quote
Kid Kearsley Posted May 7, 2018 Author Posted May 7, 2018 Bit of an air leak. Il find it https://youtu.be/n-AzbgRrPuk 3 Quote
Kid Kearsley Posted May 10, 2018 Author Posted May 10, 2018 Air leak due to a clamp on the side pipe that pinged loose when tightened, il swap them out for more beefy ones. To test I just used some random bad boys lying round in the shed, returns to idle well now. Spent the night routing the fuel system, must of cut out a metre of the previous system. Calipers rebuilt with new pads, tidied up the wiring. Few jobs left yet but hopefully be ready for a test run to donny. 4 Quote

Not particularly cheap, but will never be an issue ever again. Quote
Kid Kearsley Posted May 10, 2018 Author Posted May 10, 2018 Those clamps are expensive but the budget says no at the moment. Tonight, another boring bit here, bit there night. New rear pads, back end final assy, scavenge pump bracket made mounted with hoses to suit, calipers on and lubes fitted ready for bleeding. Sprocket, chain, bleed, bodywork and tighten anything that falls off. Cam cover, hose clamps should be here tomorrow. Be another late night tomorrow but hoping to test it this weekend. 5 Quote
Kid Kearsley Posted May 11, 2018 Author Posted May 11, 2018 Suppose that's what you get building to the last minute. Not how I wanted people to see the bike for the first time in its revamp with bits not done but hey ho.. Quote
Kid Kearsley Posted May 11, 2018 Author Posted May 11, 2018 23:50 Untested, unfinished but good enough, I hope to bring Donnington and go for a road test. Best go pack the van. 6 Quote
no class Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Cool build.l. What size turbo is this on your old set up and what was it's power output ? Quote
Kid Kearsley Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 @no classGT28 made 328bhp smoothed to 298bhp Quote
Kid Kearsley Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 and Been doing some testing recently, carbs on carbs off job but initial testing looking very very promising. Shooting for record numbers. Alot of road testing and one secret dyno pull so far. Loads to come from this new setup. 5 Quote
