Aaaaagh Nooooooooooooooooooooo !

Imo thats the cheap cant be arsed look & one of my pet hates, the real original classy look will always be 4 & 1/2 bates on a nice ally bracket

The rest of the build looks good though & i can see you are going to have hours of fun setting up that lockup []

i making an ally bracket and these are to fill the gap for now they were real cheap ive got to cut costs a bit im trying to keep as much money for the engine lol

Katana put a good little unit on his GSX750 SF, neat items these

[lucky rookie]

well this is what you get from Suzuki for £170 it doesn’t look much but I figure if I am going to rebuild the engine using genuine parts is got to be the way forward I have worked out my compression ratio and I can run standard compression 9.5:1 at between 7-10 psi boost but will have to use super unleaded, as super is only about 6p a litre more than normal unleaded its not going to be too bad

you got your turbo pistons bought yet?

[lucky rookie]

hi benji at the boost im running at the moment standard pistons will be ok you really only have to have forged flat tops when you are going for big boost 15 psi or more or if you intend having the throttle wide open for long periods of time i know of people getting 20000 miles from a turbo on a stock engine no probs
if you run an intercooler like i intend to its even less of a problem

okays…aslong as enough homework has been done..dont want it shredding a piston. itll probably end up ripping your whole engine apart, in which case itd be a waste of time like mines turning out to be.
quick question..how big are your pistons in mm?
cheers

What did you get for the £170 Lucky? Looks like a bag of gaskets to me.

[lucky rookie]

every single gasket, oring, seal, copper washer, its a complete gasket set last time i bought one it was for an fzr 1000 exup and i still have parts of it left lol
if i never bought the whole set i would of needed the only one i didnt buy

headlight bracket made just will need a good polish scrap ally and a bit of machining works wonders lol

lucky

[BigBen]

that looks pretty damn good! you have a milling machine then?

[lucky rookie]

hi benji
i dont have a milling machine but i have access to lathes and millers this sort of work can be done with a jigsaw and files though just being a bit flash using a miller lol my friend has made himself a miller with an old piller drill and a second hand miller base …..works well for this type of work and cost about £30.00 to make

lucky

[lucky rookie]

there will be an R6 style numberplate bracket coming soon but i will do that with a jigsaw and files
