Hello all
well had a pretty good day today and been able to do final mock up of where the turbo is going to sit
as you can probably notice by the full bike picture there is a clash condition between the front wheel and the compressor housing
the housing will be rotated clock wise by around 60° this will eliminate problem
the header pipes will be removed for final weld tomorrow
im excited about the project again as standing back and looking at it (i forgot how awesome its going to look when finished) i hope the pictures are good enough for everyone to get an idea of how its going to look i wanted you guys to see it before anyone else
if anyone spots anything that may cause me trouble just give me a shout as i might of missed something
thanks
Looking good LR, i was just about to mention the clearance problem.
have you ever seen the bandits etc with the turbo being housed under the seat? eliminates the problem and keeps you toasty warm
its looking very much like youre going to meet your target *thumbs up*Looking really good mate, great quality work there
i see what you mean about rotating the compresser to gain clearance but i do think you may still have an issue there as it seem the pipes stick out a little more than stock which can be mighty close to touching up on the guard anyway during full compression, the oil cooler could also be a problem depending on what you use & how you mount it
Dont want to but a downer on it at all mate just would rather say now on the off chance some of this hadn’t occured to you
hi slim
i think i may have to pull the pipes in a little at the top and i will have to trim the mudguard back a bit the new pipes are the same distance from the engine as was my old race system was
ive pulled the forks down with a ratchet strap and it seems ok
im more worried about getting all the fuel pump regulators blow off valve and all the other stuff in thanks for the heads up though
ill keep you postedlucky
Hi lucky
no worries mate i guessed you would have planned ahead with this stuff but just thought it worth mentioninglooking forward to seeing it progress
Thanks
hopefully i will have some more pictures after the weekend i wont have many as ive got to go to a christening on sundaytoday i will mostly be pulling apart my headers and re designing them as i had a few issues which were bothering me
1. the turbo was a t such a height that oil drainage would be risky and may need a scavenge pump
2. with the forks fully compressed there could of been a tyre turbo clash which would be a problem
my fav design is all the pipes are inline rather than middle 2 cylinders forward of the outer cylinders pipes this will bring the turbo tighter into the frame and will allow me to raise the turbo up about 30mm which will help drainagethis will also give me space for a remote waste gate ……which will be nice
lucky
As you can see this is my second attempt at my turbo headers ive used this type as there are a meant to be a few advantages but i will let you know if it will make any difference
as said before the biggest benefit is the turbo is higher and further back into the frame which will help
there will be another pipe welded into the no1 exhaust this will be for the external waste gate that will be fittedpicture of type of waste gate to follow
Just to give you an idea of location of waste gate to the rest of the bike …..sorry about the terrible picture but i only had power point to do it in
