Sounds like a good build there...... what'd you end up going with for the turbo sys?

I'm kinda holding off from telling till I have it finished but if you really wanna know I will PM you lol...How's kit looking?gonna keep it or put it back on
-
Ill wait......I like surprises
:D
Still got it..... ill still sell it til the end of the month or so then its going back on. Wanna get the bike all button up early for the race season.
:thumb:

Good luck Nem thanks I'm sure everything will work out for you well. I just added some more stuff to the thread, I may have forgotten some but I think that about does it

Sounds very nice :thumb:
Hope we can see some pics of the construction.

oh yeah as soon as I get all the parts to the powder coaters and get them back the pics will start. I "HOPE" to have it all together within the next 3 weeks or so. Then off to the tuners
-
pics please...

It all sounds good thus far. :thumb:
I'm wondering....why are you getting the 1mm over exhaust valves? Are you planning on running more than 500HP?
Also, did you mean "high volume gear" or "high pressure valve"?

Did you buy Toms Super Ultra? I'm just wondering.

The list looks pretty solid for what you're doing. If you've got the $ you may want to get your crank micropolished and oil passages chamfered. My opinion.

My motor is being built as we speak and the builder told me he would call me if anything came up. What would be the advantages to the stuff you are talking about?

Supposedly the micropolish decreases the sloshing and foaming in the crankcase at high RPM's. Also, supposedly the chamfered oil passages allow more oil to get to the crank bearings. I say "supposedly" because I'm going with what Falicon told me.

haha from what i heard if I had a falicon crank I would want some oil mods for sure. Yeah there is alot of "suppose to" in this industry. Hopefully I have a well thought out build and my components will be up to the task. I feel that if it is a quality build and a good tune then maybe it will last for many miles of fun. The system will be run on pump gas 99% of the time so everything is well within its power limits and not being taxed out even though I'm sure I will boost it rather frequently. I will keep you posted for sure

Ordered my levers, tail section and chain and sprockets today :thumb: Parts should be rolling in this week, I will get some pics up

what turbo is that also what size

Super Ultra, 40r
-
what turbo is that also what size
Like tom said its the GT40R twin scroll turbo and header setup, basically the "ULTRA" kit but with these extra things added. I believe its suppose to spool about 2K sooner than the GT35R and make about 50hp more at the same boost levels....soon to find out
-
Well it loooks like you shut me up :!: Nice

Yyyeeeeehaw

My rods and pistons shipped today so the motor should be back to me within 2 weeks. All I'm waiting on now is to find a powder coating place and then start puttting everything back together. All the turbo stuff looks fairly easy to install i'm sure I will run into trouble i don't know yet but it looks pretty straight forward
-
Fuel pressure regulator is on the front of the plenum. It's blue/purple with a fuel pressure gauge and hoses.

nice :)
But I know I dont see all those cool parts, then Ivans TRE listed, DIDNT YO MAMMA TEACH YOU BETTER???????

because you stick your bikes ECU in 5th gear all the time. So 5th gear fueling values all the time, sucky sucky dont put that crap on.
If you have an 02-07 ecu just re-flash it if you want 5th gear timing values all the time, and do it without messing up gear based ram air compensation, and you can increase rev limiter, and ignition dwell time, and keep the FI light from coming on when the map sensor sees boost, and and and and and and

Hey Ace
Ive got a slightly used 240, stems & caps u might be interested in :shock:

some more parts came in today :D, getting my motor in next 2-3 days, prob 2-3 weeks before it all powdercoated and ready for assembly
-
Just tried putting my header and turbo on since I got my motor back yesterday....Major pain in my ass!! felt like kicking my motor and turbo setup straight off the stand :bah: Got it mounted up but the top right header did not want to thread correctly. Gonna give it another shot later tonight and see if I can make some progress

When you're putting them in start them all and then snug the lowers and then tighten the tops

whats up nem, just got it on but can't snug one of the inner lower bolts because of the twin scroll manifold. all the rest are good. i'll post a pic in about 20 minutes.
-
Did you cut the short pieces of a allen wrench and silicone them in the 2 lower/center bolts? Then use the small wrenches...
It is a booger your first time though.

yep I did exactly as you suggested just having some troubles with one of the inner lower bolts....just tapped down on the brass vacuum tubes on the throttle bodies like you said so the plenum wouldn't pinch them :thumb:

Thanks Nem, I'm trying not to feel overwhelmed...This turbo stuff is all new to me and I just want to make sure I get it all together correctly. By the way I rode Bobu's RCC stage 2 yesterday 15lb boost at stock height and wheelbase. That sucker felt alot faster this time lol...pulled up in 4th on me and I had to pullover and shake the shit out of my pants
-
:lol:
Yup.....you're hooked

thats nice!! :thumb:
what size turbo is that? gonna make some good boost

thats nice!! :thumb:
what size turbo is that? gonna make some good boost
Like Tom said it is the GT40R, planning on running it up to 18LB of boost on pump fuel and its suppose to make around 400HP at that boost level....its purely a street machine so we will see shortly
-
got my gauges back from Scott at blueguages.com today...I really like them, will post a pic up later tonight

very nice setup....... :thumb:

very nice setup....... :thumb:
Thanks, I really have put alot of time and thought and $ into this setup....I def feel that its the best kit for me and a great motor build so I hope it's going to be alot of fun to ride.....I can't describe the anxiety I have thinking about opening this up on the street

thanks, Im ready to see how it does also. I should be getting the following in this week "NLR TIC-1000, new wheel bearings, swing arm bearings, cush drive, and hopefully on friday my powdercoating will be ready. Kevin at DME has a catalyst tail on order and some DME fender lowering brackets for me.

I don't know, my bike could be all put back together by next weekend "if" my stuff is back from the powdercoater....Then i gotta take it over to Cooper in GA. I'm going to ask them if I show up at 8AM if my bike can get tuned in 1 or 2 days. They are going to have to install the AMS-1000, TIC-1000, and put it on the dyno. It already has a base map so maybe it wont be so bad. Although I would rather have stuff done correct then rush somebody, but damn 8 hours is a long way to drive and drop off. Gonna get my paint done also while its getting tuned

what kinda wheels you running? i seen you had a 240 rear tire?

yeah I've seen your wheels and those are really nice and light as heck I bet, I used to like the carbon fiber look but I"m really not into it anymore

zat why u goin wit watermelon red :lol:
-
Get some magnesium wheels.....olmost as light as the cf wheels :?:
-
zat why u goin wit watermelon red :lol:
haha you know me changing up what colors I want on a daily basis. I'm sticking to the 07 blue I think. I saw one riding around earlier today and it looked pretty good I think with all the shiny black powdercoat it will look even better
-

Ah it would be nice but I'm not racing so the weight thing isn't a huge factor right now. I can always just crank up the boost lol....but seriously these RC component wheels weigh ALOT and I mean ALOT. I will weigh the tires and wheels before I put them back on. I'm starting by saying the back will weigh 25lb with tire

see nobody should listen to anything I say about what color I might paint haha...I just saw a black bike and I love blacked out busas and then saw an 07 blue that didn't look so hot. :D I should prob just go drop off the bodywork and tell the guy to suprise me
-
Looks good to me, like it is.
I just found stedmans dyno sheet on my bike, coopers 315 smokes stedmans 347 , at least it does on my bike.

who is this cooper in GA. you talking about?
Cooper Performance..Jerry 478-471-8900. "Bobu" had his bike tuned over there and some work done. Jerry Cooper builds NLR's motors ect.....I was overall impressed with the shop and reputation and experience with high performance motorcycles. I'm sure there are tons of great builders that are capable of putting together high HP bikes but he was the closest and I felt good about spending my money with Jerry

well I don't know how its gonna run yet because its not together yet...but i have faith it will be A+. You really need to go by the place, it looks like a surgery hospital for street bikes....top notch everything and really clean, full machine shop, powder coating, indoor climate controlled dyno, ect......plus Richard Gadson is their new ProMod rider.

Where in Ga is it?

Where in Ga is it?
its over in Macon....if your close it would be worth you time to drive over and check it out :thumb:

Hey Patterson
I tried 2 sponsors here before I found Cooper, Its about a 7 hr trip for me & I dont care who's closer or cheaper.

its about 2 hours from here. i go down there every once it a while, might check him out one day

I've heard nothing but good about Cooper :thumb:
-
UPDATE: The guy who is doing my powder coating is being a shit head....."yeah come and bring it I can get it done in 4 days... then that turned into 12 days" and still nothing...probably gonna drive up and get my shit on friday and figure something else out :x this is the only thing holding me up from putting my bike back together and getting it to the dyno....I was planning on having it finished this weekend but "MR. I have both of my thumbs in my ass is keeping that from happening" Im practically looking at a pile of parts and can't do anything with them....i feel like a paraplegic in a strip club
-
Powder coat still isn't ready :evil: this guy is fuckin off so bad its not even funny.....its been 3 weeks!!! Anyway im going to get it friday regardless if its ready or not otherwise i figure i will be saying this again next week. Just thought i would post some pics up of some stuff that came in.

I've got some better quality pics coming for you guys....planning on installing the LC-1 wideband, finishing up the stock harness, adding in the HID's and cutting the fairings tonight....I ended up ordering some lowering links from soupy this morning as my 3 hole links wouldn't go in the 3rd hole and just werent getting the job done
-
well got the wiring harness completed and all the wiring for the turbo spliced in....almost got done with the LC-1 wideband. Spent alot of time fishing the bolt that went down the throttle bodies and into the head YIKES if i hadn't heard it I would have never know

i'm guessing a bolt fell into the throttle bodies and when I was messing with the throttle it slid down and dropped in by the valve....heard this little tink and looked down there and there it was

It is my friend....Just completed the 815 mile round trip to Coopers to drop it off and its gonna be spoolin soon :D On a bad note a rubber tie down came loose and banged around on both sides of my swingarm and beat the heck out of it....looks like it will be getting yanked off to get powder coated again

yeah i was kinda pissed but that was the least of my worries.....gonna let him keep it for 2 weeks, should give my painter long enough to have my paint laid down :thumb:

Planning on heading over next friday to see the bike on the dyno....Only thing I'm interested in is how much good safe power it can make on pump fuel.....but I prob will do an ego pull and i"m thinking about breaking 600HP and stopping at that. Around what boost level is need to make 600HP and I do have a 240 tire so it might take a little more? Gonna have it tuned on pump, and 110 and then obviously use C16 on the big pulls
-
34ish
-
WOOOOHHHH that sounds fun....i can't wait, i figure this will be the only time it ever see that kinda HP....I wonder how high i can tune it up on C12 or 110? you always here about C16 but not much about 110....sure would be cheaper if you wanted to do some foolish street riding

Thanks :thumb: congrats on your texas run....thats flying!!! Called up the shop and everything is ready to go except the tuner is racing this weekend, so i will be heading over a week from this friday to watch the dyno "i will take a video camera" and pick it up....its cool though because all my paint and tobin seat will be ready by then anyway. Whats the news on your bike? thought i read were you hurt it :cry:

How you guys like that gauge mounted on the right side of the bars? Was walking through walmart at about 4AM for the 5th time that day after forgetting all the little nick nack shit for the wires I was running....me and poweradder picked up a "metal L bracket for a light mount" painted it black.. drilled and bent it and installed a push button we wired into the gauges so we could control the settings on them....NEIL at VEI systems is making me another gauge and running the test on it to measure my intake temps....its gonna go on the left side of the bar....this will allow me to have all these gauges that i don't need and probably crash the shit out of my bike while trying to read them just like everybody is saying :thumb: but its blingin

Bodywork is done!!! going to bring it back when i go home this weekend for Easter. I will post up some pics from a "REAL" camera :thumb:

What color(s)?
High gloss black, with the inners painted gloss black also....got tapeworks graphics just for the tail and kanji's on the side fairings "dark metallic grey with red letters" kinda similar to 2007 graphics. Thats been my favorite busa so i guess you can say i have "custom" stock paint lol....my friend back home saw it today and called me and told me it looked like a mirror so i'm pretty pumped it turned out great
-
There are more black on black busas out there than any other, but still look the best to me.

haha i know, i'm being so original, I almost went with viper red, 07 busa blue, or kawi green. I think the viper red would have been cool but i've had red before and never all black so just a little change for me

nope shop and tuner issues and got a couple different stories tossed around to me....Jerry seemed to have straightened everything out and I'm heading over a week from today to get my bike regardless if its been tuned or not. 5 weeks is a long time, but i have a busy week ahead of me so it will sneak up fast :thumb: I can't wait
-
STEDMANS :ppcrn: Talked to him today and prob gonna stop in to put my bike on the dyno on the way home...Thats if the ams1000 and tic1000 have really been installed. I've come to the conclusion that you cannot really rely on any shop for good all around feedback....10 guys say he sucks and 10 say he's awesome....Richard recommended him for tuning so I'm gonna see what happens

Updates? :D

Don't get frustrated Ace. You get it right it's just going to take some patience and perseverance.

PS - I'm psyched to see the results!
-
Updates? :D
Just rolled in from Coopers its 11:18PM and I headed over there at 5AM....this morning :bah: I'm tired but Jerry pulled it out and got everything done for me except the tune "they have no tuner right now" So i'm about to catch a nap then head to stedmans in about 7hours....all thats needed is another fitting on my tank to accept the second fuel hose and then we will "ATTEMPT" to tune it after cranking it and breaking it in....WISH ME LUCK :thumb:
-
well?
-
well?
First I wanna say I have a new outlook on bike shops...Sometimes they do like they are suppose to and sometimes they don't. I left Coopers at thinking all my bike needed was gas in the tank and it would be ready to go on the dyno.
Pull up at stedmans at 9AM, meet jay and says i want to look this bike over before it goes on the dyno just to be safe since its never been cranked up....first thing he sees somthing up with the plenum so he suggest we take it off. Theres metal shavings on the inside where someone drilled it for the ams to run off manifold "dont ask me why" we find metal shavings in the Plenum and even some that where falling down in the charge tube, not to mention the plenum has no water in it when its taken apart, and the oil line from the turbo to the pan was practically bent in half from the angle they put it on, then the ams is about 40% not hooked up right with lines not running here and this and no check valve and ect....so the verdict is stedman saved my ass and potential damage to my bike if i had done like the shop said and just put it on the dyno.....Many hours later first pull on the dyno makes 50Hp and blow through the clutch....he takes the cover off and has the WTF look on his face and says only about 20% of you clutch is missing so he goes back and takes the clutch all apart adds the fibers and plates that were missing and walla next pull makes 269 corrected but stutters and completely falls on his face at 9500K just dives down.....He starts looking around and says i bet this tic isnt installed correctly so we decide since the ams 1000 wasn't hooked up correcty why would the tic 1000 be? So we unplug it and boom it goes to redline. Then we datalogg with the microtech and see thats the boost is to high and he goes over to the wastegate and with another WTF look on his face says the mounted something in your wastegate for the ams and i bet its pressure down on the spring or they pinched the diaphram...so we need to take the waste gate apart and see WTF they did to it because it was't pushing 7-8 like you said the spring would be. I guess the most important thing is that the motor sounds really good and cranked right up but all the rest of it was just ridiculous just having to go back over and do work that I already paid for . By this time its 11PM and this is after Jay has already installed another turbo that someone brought in and tuned it.....He has suggested reflashing the ECU on my bike and doing what he called a pump gas and race fuel map....i guess essentially pulling timing 7K and above for 3-4 degrees or whatever......by this time i'm fucking pissed cause i've driven 1100 miles over the last day and my bike still isn't ready, but its a full build and i expect to run into some kinks but this was just ridiculous. I'm going back with my bike monday at 8AM to do the finish tuning it. Overall so far Jay has been alot of help, saved my bikes ass, stayed way later than he should have fixing other people work. I just left with my head hurting so bad cause i was completely exhausted and it seemed like everytime we fixed something the next thing popped right up that you were like did they really freaking do that!!! So my goal for tomr is to figure out the wastegate deal and get the bike to make a pass on spring pressure, we need to put a stator gasket on it, reflash the ECU for the timing, and start tuning again. After all this I'm probably not gonna push it on pump fuel...i might even pull a little timing on pump and just tune it to 360hp or so on pump because thats alot of HP still and i would just rather be safe.....and C16 it up from there. As far as the dyno goes he finished a stage 2 yesterday and with corrected #s' it made 322HP with 14 boost and its compression was somewhere between stock and what a .080 spacer would give you....so i would say the dyno #'s were pretty accurate or at least seem that way. So speaking from my so far experience you might as well just pick a damn shop and got to it...i've already been to a shop with an awesome history and reputation and didn't get what was suppose to be done and now its at the shop with a somewhat negative reputation but so far they have been fixing the other guys problems and getting more done in a day then I've gotten done in the the last month waiting on the other.....So it just all depends on your timing, your luck, and who happens to be working at the shop when your bike is there it seems. I would suggest anybody wanting a turbo to first buy a trailer so you can take it haul it when its not done right and second buy a huge bottle of zanax.....but thats just me and I know some of you guys have had it WAY worse....I really like Jerry and he tries really hard to do right and this is not to bash his business or his work its just my experience...I think Cooper does really good work its just he has no tuner and nobody to do electronics and until he gets somebody who can do that i wouldn't suggest taking your bike for those services,...everybody makes mistakes and nobodys perfect and this is just how it happened so no reason beating a dead horse cause tomr is another day and the sun will still rise and its only a motorcycle :D
-
I will say that I've never heard a turbo bike before, i've only ridden one but never heard one on the street or the dyno. The stage 2 impressed me....i didn't know they were that loud even with dump pipes.....but when he put mine on the dyno and made few passes it was pretty violent sounding, I honestly thought i was hearing police sirens off in the background at first but it was the turbo spoolin up LOL...that 40R is an animal

yeah i guess its all part of it or maybe it isn't.....I was just so tired yesteday i started not being able to understand what jay was trying to explain to me on the dyno.....Priority #1 is to get that wastegate fixed so it can make a pass on just spring pressure...def something going on there it made a microtech logged pass on 13 pounds and if it has a 7-8 pound spring like you say then that def tell me something isn't right after they messed with the wastegate.

+1 on what Tom said.
Turbo bikes always need something so you're going to have to learn how they work and how to fix them. You could just bring it to the shop all the time but if you want to do that you better double up on your Xanax perscription! :lol:

yeah i'm pretty much good on everything so far since I put it together and wired everything....i just need to understand how the ams works a little more and then the dyno stuff is all new to me....gonna do the ECU reflashing and have 2 maps, 1 for pump fuel where I pull 3 degrees of timing out from 7K and up, and then 1 for C16. The bad thing is all the problems i've been having are from 1 shops electronic work. So far in the overall big picture Its probably gone smoother than most peoples builds. Hopefully we will get it taken care of tomr. Like i said i'm gonna prob stop it at 360 on pump or somewhere around that just so that i don't string it out so hard on pump....cause i will be riding it hard and pump def is not extremely reliable

Ace,
Well, it sounds like you've got a good plan. Best of luck with everything. I'm thinking that turbo kit/motor combo that you've got should be able to push out 360RWHP without a problem. I'll guess that amount of HP will be about 14-16lbs of boost. With the liq/air intercooler I've heard you can ride around with 18lbs on pump fuel.
Post up if you have any problems that you think we can help you with and keep the progress coming!
Jason

Youre almost there Ace. It will be worth it in the long run
-
Keep at it ACE....only the strong survive....
I've been there....believe me....LOl
Glad Jay is getting everything straightened out for you. I never had any real problems with Jay either....other then some nickle and diming but....
Yeah you're gonna learn that....a GOOD shop is hard to find....the best shop around is the one in your garage, I promise you that.

85 degrees, 40% Humidity, 240 rear wheel

yeah we just pulled the dwell down from 120% to 100% and it made 10 more HP at the same boost levels...but this was at 11.5 and we are about to take it up to 11.8, so that might put it in the 490-500 range on 28lb which is more like it
Keep going... :D You have another 10lbs to go... :thumb: :bah:
-
not so great anymore...the shop that built the motor set the cams sky fucking high...me and jay just got off the phone with richard and this is causing the bike to make 0 boost till about 9200 RPM then it makes all of its boost from 9300-9800 all of this was found out by datalog with the microtech software "WTF"....so its reset the cams time, fix the oil leak on the stator cover and rock on wednesday.......we seem to be in the home stretch
-
Wow. One thing after another. Hang in there
-
Man hang in there. Definitely get the cams adjusted{105 107}because making 400hp starting at 9000 rpms you will be slamming your limiter constantly.
-
what were the cam #s?
-
Damn, that sux.....Just keep at it though...you'll get it. If you move the cams around, your tuning up to this point might be off....Just double/triple check the AFR at all the boost levels... You are right in range with what Tommy was making with it I believe.... I think he made 450@24lbs or so....
You definetly want to get it coming in earlier though....Not sure you're gonna see much before 7k but it should come on like gang busters between 7-8k I would guess.
-
yeah i believe richard said set the cams 105/106 or something like that, i know he and stedman talked about it......yeah the damn thing was making so much boost so quick he could barely chop the throttle to keep it from running into the limiter.....at that point we stopped and said wait a minute something isn't right, So far so good and Jay has been working on that bike and explaining everything to me as we go which is very helpful and lets me learn and know kinda what is going on. Maybe if the 240 tire wasn't killing the power as much as we thought since the cams are so freaking wacked out.....We should be building good boost by 7K and up when its fixed. Also added a small air tank and regulator that he worked up to run the ams off of and keep the pressure on the gate until waiting for it to build using the manifold.....after a dyno run with that setup he made 95 more hp and it was 1 more second faster making that power "probably because it was taking so long to build the boost from the cam setup that it was at redline before any big power was made" So really we are in the home stretch just gotta re do the dyno pulls "we are at 49 pulls with a max of 464HP , including all the goofy shit the we keep finding" also that 240 tire is a mother to dyno with....the bike actually pushed hared and broke his weld on the front of the dyno....bike tire laid into the back of the drum and smoked the hell out of the tire :bah: it was crazy.....im holding on guys and i'm heading back on wednesday to finish it up.
-
Wow. One thing after another. Hang in there
yeah funny thing is its so true what smart turbo goes tell you most of the time its not the turbo setup thats causing the problem its the people who shouldn't be working on turbos that you end up fixing there work....and that is def what is going on now
-
Make sure you scoot the bike up some.....you def don't want it catching the rear lip
-
Make sure you scoot the bike up some.....you def don't want it catching the rear lip
oh yeah he had to weld up the front of the dyno and restrap the bike

ACE, I am the one with the stage II you were speaking of. I had the pleasure of meeting you and Jay over the past week. When you leave Stedmans you will be VERY VERY happy. We drove all the way to S.C. after that short test ride i took on my newly transformed busa :). Got home at 10AM and rode ALL DAY sunday and after work monday... LOVE IT!!! 322 hp floats my front tire in 6th gear. I refuse to ride in any gear below 5th. It still makes stock 08 busas look like a ford taurus or something on a roll on. They'll jump a few bikes and then i'll pass them like they are a slow car racing a bike. The only problem I've had so far is that i keep forgetting that my boost controller is wired to my high beam so sometimes at night i'll start going and it'll just SNAP back. 322hp is INSANE FAST and rediculously scary on this stock wheelbase and height. I still have the pics of your bike and a short vid. of your bike on the dyno. It may be the run when you made 50 hp cuz it was early... Stedman will get everything right and get you rolling in no time.. glad to hear that you're actually making numbers now. Again, it was nice meeting you (and your bike).
STEDMANS MOTORSPORTS ROCKS!!!
(for those who don't know I have:
Stage II t3/t4 turbo
blow off valve
water injection
single stage boost controller
built motor good for 420 hp (stock pistons)
got everything from Stedman's motorsports and ended up making the 400+ mile drive to have him install it and tune it. Went there with a frame and a motor and left in 3 days with a 322hp turbo hayabusa!!!! Those guys are GRREEAT!!!

Whats up man glad to hear you got to ride your bike and it was running well. Thats a really nice bike you have and crazy HP and stock ride height and wheelbase...322 is alot of power, I bet that thing is just violent to ride. Be sure to keep that water tank full and I think you will be very happy. :thumb:Yeah we ran into a little more issues but ended up sorting them out and it looks like we may finish wednesday. So far I agree and Stedman has been doing a really good job. Cool....yeah that 50HP dyno pull was pretty exciting :cry: but post it up if you want or the pics, I'm not gonna forget the video camera this time so I will get some of the big pulls for you

built motor good for 420 hp (stock pistons)
got everything from Stedman's motorsports and ended up making the 400+ mile drive to have him install it and tune it. Went there with a frame and a motor and left in 3 days with a 322hp turbo hayabusa!!!! Those guys are GRREEAT!!!
How much boost to make 322hp? you running pump gas at that level with WI?
-
i am at 14 psi on 93 octane. this is the high setting on the booost controller. I have it wired to the high beams, so low beams is 8psi with 275ish hp and high beam is 14psi with 322 :shock: . Needless to say i rarely have it on 14psi with stock wheelbase.
Ace, i will be calling up there later today because i have a few questions for Jay. I'll ask what the status is on your bike when I call.

Nice.....
Thats pretty much the same as mine.... 319hp@14-14.5lbs....pump gas. No water injection on mine though...
That will keep you busy for a while.

sounds good and i'm heading back over tomr because he will have reset the cams by then and that was really the only thing on our to do list that was left....remember to stay out of that WOT on the high boost settings even with the water injection.....it will be okay for short burst but a good long pull on the top end and it could hurt you
-
jay go the cams fixed and said its making power better now and I'm going back over in early morn.....it snapped the zzz chain....so we don't know whether to go with another zzz or a dzr or drag chain or whatever....Good lord I don't know what to do with this thing
-
prob just gonna go with the drag chain and keep it well maintained....might as well put something a little stronger on it
-

FAAAKKK, did it tear anything else up?
I know the ZZZs are supposed to be the latest and greatest but..... my buddy with a stg 2 thats 8" over has broke 2 of those chains....the last time we put a ZVX on it and its still holding. I have had a ZVX on mine for a couple years, prolly 5k miles and its still fine. But other then dyno time, I have only rode it with maybe 350-360hp or so....
I would try a ZVX and rivot master link.
BTW where WERE the cams set at?
Youre getting close.... :thumb:
-
Broke a ZZZ chain??? I dont know if thats a good thing....(making alot of power) or a bad thing....( the chain wasnt installed properly). How much damage did the broken chain cause?
-
Ace I've not read a turbo story like this one since Alans...lol

yeah it caught jays leg but i think he got away with minor injury......gonna throw the drag chain on it in the morn and i will just have to keep up better maintenance, i believe he said the cams were up around 110

oh yeah you are absolutely right, at least only 1 shop got the chance to mess stuff up, found out the wastegate wasn't very tight and we are thinking now its boost leak related, bike makes good power on spring pressure but then when you start applying boost it is behind....overlapping graphs show these kits to make 250hp at 7k and mine is only making 166hp at 7k....then boom!! it made 319 ft tq at only 450hp or so which is def crazy off so i am here now and we are sorting it out
-
I personally wouldn't use nothing but a DRZ2 chain.
-
Jay and the crew worked their ass off again, got everything straightened out and started mapping the bike, then the wastegate took a shit..... Oh well guess we will keep at it until we get it done. Can't say enough good stuff about stedman racing :thumb:

Thats great that Stedman is treating you good.

How did the wastegate take a shit? There is nothing to em...? diaphragm get pinched or something?
What turned out to be the problem with the low power at 7k? the cams off?

yeah the cams were at 110 so they are set to 105/106 now.....when we hooked up the ams on external air it the wastegate was leaking and blowing air out the turbo ect.....I can't properly even explain it but jay took the wastegate off and it was spinning all over the place even though the nut was as tight as it could be....he took it apart and showed me how whoever set it up originally didn't clock it properly and how it hogged out something in the inside.....the rubber oring was all chewed up. So im just gonna order a new one and send this one off to get rebuilt and sell it when it gets back instead of waiting on them to rebuild it. He even was gonna take the 44m wastegate off of his and put it on mine to finish tuning it but it was 11pm and the cops already were complaining once we got into the 450's #. One reason the boost at RPM's were off is that my turbo is bigger than I originally thought its not the normal RCC super ultra turbo its actually the even large one that motorhead made the 700's with therefore turbo cams would have been a great option but i expected it to be the 4088 instead of the 4094
-
600HP 39lb 225mph on the dyno :D :D :D I'm done....turbo GT4094 is so freaking big its pumping to much air into the motor for it not to have turbo cams and a big head on it therefore I'm stopping
-
600 is rather stout :)

just ran it again to make sure the a/f would be the same because we had been running back to back passes....after a 10 min cool down it made 617HP 304TQ at the same boost :D :D

Damn 617hp!!!!!!!
now that you got it all working it was worth it wasnt it
-
How many pounds of boost was that at
-
says 39lbs in his post :shock:...............thats a whole bunch of boost
-
says 39lbs in his post :shock:...............thats a whole bunch of boost
could have gone higher, but didn't feel the need. bigger head and cams and this thing will be over 700.
-
SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Can anyone imagine rolling into 39 lbs of boost on that bike. :bah: Can't wait to hear about your first ride.
-
i've got a vid on the dyno at something like 300hp i'll post up soon.
-
SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Can anyone imagine rolling into 39 lbs of boost on that bike. :bah: Can't wait to hear about your first ride.
yeah it was screaming it's ass off but that turbo was saying give me more haha..... Motörhead said the damn turbo is so big and it takes so much to spin that joker that it builds up alot of back pressure without cams and a big head..... Without the 240 tire we prob would have seen 647 or around that....... And it was actually 40lb boost :P
-
Holy shit ACE !!!!!
Cangrats mate :thumb:
Thats a big number :woot:
Mike
-
ALERT ALERT!!! News flash, scientists measured the Earths rotation just sped up 27%. Damn Ace get off that bike!!!!!!!!!!! :hys:

Congrats ACE :thumb:
Just curious.....was Dennis behind the controls?

(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc49/StedmanMotorsports/617com.jpg)
Wow, very impressive that the smoothing is set at zero and it is still that smooth. Not sure I have ever seen one that smooth without software smoothing.
Great numbers.
John

Congrats ACE :thumb:

nope just giving insight over the phone when we at first couldn't figure out why it wasnt building boost until about 9300!!!! That motorhead is one smart turbo guy, man he was going on about tune it like this....give it what it wants...its not gonna like all the fuel in this part of the power curve....it needs more RPMS ect.....pretty interesting listening to him talk about it and you could def tell it wasn't his first time around the block

thanks :thumb: it was well tuned and made a ton of passes on the dyno mostly due to boost leaks, wastegate problems, cams set wrong ect....seemed like everytime we started in on it something would pop up and we would have to start the tune over. Jay said something about the smoothing last night and wanted to show how linear with no misfires that it had, i guess this is what you are referring to. I can't even explain how pleased i am dealing with Stedman motorsports!!! those guys went beyond the call of duty for me and my bike. Jay, Joe, and Rob :thumb: Thanks for all you guys have done for me over the past week
-
oh and i forgot that we pulled 3 degrees of timing out up top over the whole map....For not having the proper cams and a big head and using a 240 tire+ the timing pulled....I couldn't be happier with the numbers and this was in some hot humid southern weather

When's the 1st ride??? Your butthole is gonna hickie your seat :lol:

well i need to do some trimming on the left fairing for the blow off valve and the water pump so that it will fit snug, I need to go over the bike and tighten down bolts, and i need to figure out which fuse i blew yesterday when i plugged in my HID lights

yeah we just plugged in the HID's and put the front end on.....i rolled it off the dyno and turned the key to check out the lights and it turned on for a second and then just went out.....I'm gonna get on it tonight

put er on the street Ace, lights dont help boost blindness.

it was a blown fuse for the lc1. replaced the 10amp with a 15 and it now works fine :thumb:

hey Ace, What hp are you going to set it to run regularly on the street?
-
hey Ace, What hp are you going to set it to run regularly on the street?
We ran the pump gas passes after the C16 and it was getting late so we didn't even let it cool down really. With the 3 degrees pulled out it made 362HP and 200TQ on pump fuel.....at first i kinda figured the pump #'s would be higher but then i realized the motor was heat soaked, timing was pulled and that 240 tires is taking some away, also this huge turbo doesnt like these low boost #'s and its not as efficient. But 362 is good for me and it prob makes even more considering that was within 5 minutes of the 617 pull. Its also has a 15lb spring in it to keep that big turbo awake so I think the least i have is 330HP.....not alot of 1st and 2nd gear WOT for me in the future :D
-
Hows that 240 tire handling all those dyno pulls?
John

100X better than you would think....never blistered up and never got tire slippage, its a pirelli diablo and it had about 1K miles on it prior to the dyno time, Jay was really shocked i think to how well it held up
-
you might as well just buy another tire. It wont last too much longer

you better get 2 or 3 more tires.......600hp will eat tires real fast

617hp..... HOLY SHIT..... :shock:
That is just stupid right there....
I guess Cooper's built you a hell of a motor to hold that kind of power, pull after pull after pull after pull.... How many WOT pulls did you end up making? I had 58 pulls on mine before we got the map done...I am thinking you beat that...? :bah:
That bike is gonna be insane on the street with 362hp.... When I ran mine at the Mile, with 16-17lbs, I figured that was around 350-360hp or so in 4th-6th and it was pulling pretty damn hard and that was with 19/37 gearing...I couldn't imagine trying to ride it in 1st-3rd with that much power, especially with street gearing..... You are gonna have your hands full with that monster....You better buy 2 or 3 of those 240 tires cause when it spools, its gonna blow that bitch off.
Congrats on your build!! It was definetly a success!! :thumb: :thumb:
-
Also, props to Jay and crew for tuning that monster and getting all the bugs worked out of it for you..... Getting the bugs worked out is always half the battle.....

yeah it had around 90 pulls on it which only 2 were in the 600's and maybe 10 were 450+.....the majority were in the 300's and some of those werent even WOT because he would have to chop the throttle to keep it from hitting the stock limiter, then the clutch went at first....then as we got higher this would act up....then we found the wastegate problem and had to start the map all over, then after resetting the cams we had to start over ect.... after all the little goof ups were found it actually didn't take that long to trim the map up . I also Changed the oil and filters twice during the dyno time and it looked perfect. Yeah im running 19/45 gearing so I will probably be changing that rear sprocket pretty soon and I'm almost 100% positive that there will be alot of partial throttle in the lower gears lol i'm gonna have to get used to passing people and not having my bike at full throttle, I guess i'm about to become a pro a short shifting....also ended up extending the limiter so that this big turbo could make its power were it wanted to. I guess i was really nervous about having to keep pulling on it but i figured hell all the majority of pulls were under 400 so its pretty much just like its power that it should be pushing all the time on pump out on the street. I got a little less worried after both Richard and Dennis confessed to the # of 550+ pulls they had made on some bikes.

we took the video camera and that was the day the wastegate messed up.....the next day i forgot the video and thats when we made the 600+pulls :( so nope

Yeah you will definetly have to learn how to ride it.....Gonna have to get used to passing someone with no boost and then when it kicks it having to quickly let out....LOL Not to mention as late as the boost is gonna come on at part throttle.....That gearing you have will probably work pretty good around town since it spools late, but have mercy when it does spool up.... :grn: Mine with 18/40 and 14lbs(320hp) was pretty "comfortable" in 3rd-6th... although I wouldn't want any more then that in 3rd.....16lbs is pretty manageable also for 4th-6th. I once has 17lbs in 3rd when the regulator moved and it would just blow the tire off in a 60 mph, 3rd gear roll on....It was leaving 50' patches on the ground at 70 mph.... :shock: needless to say, I put 3rd back at 13lbs. :D I now have 18/42 on it so I will see how it does, should be a little more "peppy" around town....
Your shit is gonna be nuts on the street...... :bah:

yep lots of playing around with it this coming weekend hopefully. we did fix the fuse problem, but now when you turn the key on the low beam HID comes on the goes right out and when you click the High beam on the it works but the low doesn't come on with it.....the low isn't blown because it always flicks on for a second, so we gotta fix that. Yeah im gonna have to play with the gearing and i'm into the 100mph+ rollons so maybe that will help a tad
-
hell yea glad you had a good experience over there. i guess the guy in the shack didn't catch the chain :hys:

its been raining for the past 4 days ever since i got my bike and its suppose to rain for the rest of the week and through the weekend..... :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: can't a guy catch a break

i think i put it at 6-7 over, trying to keep it at a good setting so where it won't come up and bust up my catalyst 6 over tail and break out my tail light
-
6-7 over won't wheelie on the street, but it will spin hard with stock hp let alone 400 :lol:

yeah i never had any wheel spin but my old bike used to only make 160Hp and it ran a 240 tire.....but you are def right about the HP increase causing some major wheel spin
-
Anything 4-5 ins over even with a sticky tire will "blow off" on the street, especially when that monster turbo hits. Your low boost is like most peoples high boost...lol

yeah i kinda was down about having such a large spring in the wastegate but thats what I had to do so oh well it is what it is
-
Ace thats not true, you can run any spring you want in the gate. Why did they tell you differently?
-
Ace thats not true, you can run any spring you want in the gate. Why did they tell you differently?
oh yeah i understand you can run different springs sizes in the wastegate....I just meant that the turbo responded night and day difference between a small and large spring. It originally had a 7 pound in it and now it has a 14 "Richard and motorhead both mentioned that a larger spring would wake it up" The difference in time it took to build boost and response was pretty substantial
-
What they are refering to is the fact your running manifold pressure{like me}. It will hit the spring pressure then flutter closed the rest of the boost you have prescribed in your AMS. I personally would go with a 7 lb spring then add the rest with the AMS. You'll be able to use 1st and 2nd gear{maybe...lol}...Your 40r is going to hit really hard even at 7 lbs.

actually not running manifold pressure anymore....Jay hooked up a small air tank in my subframe that is closed loop with the ams, the way i understand it is that it never loses psi until i actually turn my key off then you can hear it spray a little air out. I haven't had much time to really miss with it at all

Went for the ceremonial ride....got a whole 10 ft and noticed the other block off plate that my oil pressure sender is in was leaking...HAHAHAHA DAMN.....I just got off and let "Poweradder" take it a few miles down the road, Said that it felt really tight and rode well....so i guess i will be putting a new blockoff plate on it and hopefully taking a ride after these next 3 days of rain pass

we're gonna take some better pics soon but this is one from today, i dont know if any current ones have been posted lately.

thanks......geez you should have seen us trying to get the body on this thing last night, I mean it was CRAZY!!!! nothing wanted to fit right, gaps everywhere...i don't even know how we got it on or why it didn't go right the first time or even what we did to fix it....man i never want to take these fairings off again....it used to take my 5min to do it before all these wires, turbo setup ect...I mean we had all the correct fairing bolts and you would put them in and then the last tab on the side fairing would be 2 inches off. This bike doesn't have 1 bolt missing and everything has been carefully put together....its fair to say it tested my patience

bike looks awesome man, lookin forward to the first post after you finally get to ride this thing...

thanks i'm looking forward to riding it also, i attempted to fix the oil leak this morning but then it started raining so I couldn't pull it out and crank it to see if it was going to leak
-
Ride that thing Ace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Just kidding I got caught in a flooding rain today on mine and it's no fun what so ever.

yeah it crossed my mine once or twice but wet roads and a GT40R don't sound to friendly lol....man hopefully i got this oil leak fixed and then i can go pound on this thing cause i sure am ready. I'm was happy to let my friend take it down the road yesterday for a second, i really like the way it sounded and looked coming back into the neighborhood
-
Ride it yet?
-
you let your freind ride it before you??? your better man then me :D
-
How about a rollon before you get it ironed out? :D
Tests?
-
OUTSTANDING job ACE. That thing is EVIL looking. I have a much "easier to ride" 08 if you wanna trade! :lol:

Ride it yet?
haha nope.....nothing but rain...rain...rain...rain...rain...i don't even know what to say, and the day i did try to ride it had an oil leak but i've since tried to fix but have not been able to confirm its fixed because it so wet i can't even get it outside to crank
-
you let your freind ride it before you??? your better man then me :D
man i was so pissed when i pulled it out and the block off plate started leaking....ARGH!!!! i just didn't feel like getting all my gear on just to ride it down the street, when i get on it for the first time i wanna be able to actually go riding, just wasn't gonna take it out dripping oil
-
How about a rollon before you get it ironed out? :D
Tests?
i'm ready as soon as this weather clears up, they are saying storms for another 6 days :bah:
-
OUTSTANDING job ACE. That thing is EVIL looking. I have a much "easier to ride" 08 if you wanna trade! :lol:
thanks :thumb: i'm pleased with it so far just getting eager to ride it.....depends on how this thing treats me....i've always wanted an 08 :D
-
I'll ride it. Lol

Overall the first day out went pretty well, I put about 170 miles on it. Had something act up just don't know what it is "vaccum line, fuel line, secondary wiring" just gotta go through it all and see. Turbos lag didn't bother me one bit, originally i figured it would but i never even noticed it, I LOVE this big ass turbo and wouldn't want anything else...fits me perfect. It never hit really hard or at least i didn't notice it, seemed like it just pulled really hard and smooth when it came on but then again this was only at 15lb and 330 so after i get the kink worked out I'm gonna put it up to 360HP. I'm running 19/45 gearing and its just strange that it didn't blow the tire off so bad like everyone was saying. I guess that 240 hooks up better than most people were thinking it would. I wonder if going down 2 or 3 teeth would even keep if from breaking loose at high rpms....seemed like it started hopping around 10000
-
were you snapping to WOT? it sounds like you were being very casual with the throttle and therefore not spinning until up top.

yep i had it WOT, that 240 tire and rim weighs a ridiculous amount and I"m 270 suited right now or maybe a little over....so maybe it all plays into effect, like i said earlier the weird thing was how it didn't feel like a normal wheel spin...it hopped like it was breaking the tire loose but not enough to spin. Guy behind me said the bike was just kicking out to the sides
-
Glad you're diggin' it, what til you turn it up :thumb:

yeah i only have another 30HP on the street tune....I will probably keep it at that for awhile, gonna be pretty busy not to mention with as much trouble as i've had i don't even feel like messing with C16 right now
-
Yeah you should ride it to get used to it and get some seat time and work the kinks out before you turn it up.
-
Wow... what a journey I just read all 14 pages! Way to stay with man! Sounds like my 2 weeks before the last texas mile. Great Power and My fav color Busa !! :thumb: Very nice
-

:thumb: exactly.....rides freaking awesome to have a wide tire and be so low......just gonna leave it on the 360HP tune and put some miles on it to make sure all its running good all the time

thanks....its been a headache but at the same time alot of fun building this bike. Its the first thing i've ever done ground up so its all my personal taste. I also tried to build it right and the best i knew how....good quality everything, in case i ever wanna get rid of it someone can have the option of a very high quality bike that was built right and just street ridden

You get the secondaries working again Ace? another ride? rolling 70 mph burn outs? :thumb:

I sure hope so.....

You get the secondaries working again Ace? another ride? rolling 70 mph burn outs? :thumb:
I lifted the tank, checked everything I knew how to check...put everything back together, fixed a bolt in the fairing and now its just been sitting in the living room. Haven't even gone out and tested it yet. Richard was trying to explain to me how to add air on to something to make boost to check to see if the secondaries are working but I didn't really understand what he was saying. I need to get on it and putt over to Stedman....or hell i might have fixed it. After running my hands all over the wires and pushing on the injectors and microtech box plugs all my lights are on.....i just never found a line pinched anywhere, also adjusted my fuel pressure back up to 44psi
-
All you should have to do to test the secondaries is pull the vac/boost hose going to the map sensor for the microtech and give the map sensor a shot of air from your compressor....Just regulate the discharge from the compressor to 20 psi or so, then start the bike and let it idle....give it a quick shot of air and that should fire the secondaries off real quick causing a severe bog or cough from the extra fuel being dumped in it.....if it does bog/die/cough whatever, then that means the secondaries are working....much better to do it that way then trying to ride it and run it up to 6 or 7k rpms waiting to see if it pulls or coughs...you could definetly melt it doing that shit.
-
ALSO.....don't adjust your fuel pressure AFTER you have mapped the bike, it will throw your whole map off if you made a significant change in fuel pressure. Your fuel pressure really doesn't matter that much as long as its mapped AFTER the fuel pressure is set. I have mine at 42 psi, 44 psi will be fine for you as long as you didn't map it at like 38 psi or something...if you did, then you just richened your entire map.

yeah this is what richard was saying....lol i just had to see it in words, my bike was mapped at 44psi....after 200 miles and everything was bouncing around and settling in my gauge was down to 40-41 so thats why i adjusted it back up to 44psi
-
BTW, when testing your secondaries, you may have to rev it some to get the injectors to fire off, the Microtech map works off of RPMs vs. Boost pressure so you can add 20psi to the map sensor but if the Microtech is not seeing any rpms(or maybe like 1250 at idle) it might not signal the injectors. You probably won't have any positive numbers in the Microtech map till like 4000 rpms so..... I would bring the rpms up to about 4-5k and hold em there, then give the 3 bar map a shot of air and it should bog the motor down big time, if it does, you're all good, if no bog or any noticeable difference in running, then the secs. still aren't working.

Good advise :thumb:
rode over to stedmans......bike went dead and lost all fuel pressure about 40 miles from his shop, went out of his way to send a truck and trailer to pick me up and saved my ass. Worked over my bike found a line that blew out....took it for a test ride and it worked fine. Then about 10 miles down the road on the way home I did a long 6th gear pull and it started bucking in and out of boost from 8K and up. So i just cruised out of boost the rest of the way home. 380 mile round trip and the bike ran good except for the boosting issue. The vortex gas cap is a problem.....it sometimes builds up pressure and pushes gas out the tank and when you turn the bike off you can hear it hissing and you have to unscrew it to let the pressure out....I will prob go back to a normal gas cap cause the vortex so far is a piece of shit

my cap does the same thing. but i thought mine was because i have it bolted in the wrong way lol i liked it like this ~ not front to back.
anyway, i didn't think you lived down here? i have to take my bike back over to do a reflash for the nitrous. its a long ass drive from here, but i get to see new stuff along the way
-
I have a stock gas cap and mine does that too
-
My oem cap did it and I put a screw type cap on and havent heard any hissing since.
-
yea i have the vortex screw on cap when it gets to hissing i unscrew it and if i dont hold on to it it will shoot up a couple inches lol

Ace, what "line blew out"? Did you ever test to see if the secondaries were working before you went to Jays? So he fixed the secondaries for you but on the way home it started bucking and screwing up again like before? I'm just trying to follow the story here.
You have some balls to hop on that thing knowing there is something wrong with it and ride it 190 miles away..... :shock:
-
I was thinking the same thing. Hes just ready to ride. You better go get Tommy's trailer next time......just so you wont be walking on the side of a country road pushing a 600hp monster.

an air line that goes into my plenum from my ams is what popped out....Secondaries are working he shot the air to them and tested them that way. My bike runs fine out of boost and i just rode the whole way not boosting....also if i wouldn't have been such an idot and checked out the gas cap i wouldn't have needed a lift. The bike runs great "out of boost" i put close to 400 miles on it that day...just gonna ride it back over and look at it again soon hopefully. Hell maybe even sell it...just moved to the city and would almost prefer a nice 08 with a pipe and tune that way the few times i get to ride i can just get out and go
-
Are you thinking about selling it out of frustration or did you build it to sell it?
-
Are you thinking about selling it out of frustration or did you build it to sell it?
its just crossing my mind. When i was building it i did do somethings to the bike in order to potentially make it more marketable in the future...but i had no intent of possibly selling it this soon. You can't build this bike for cheaper than 50K....I'm not going to advertise it just yet, i want to ride it and give it a chance and then see how i feel. I'm really not frustrated at all, i just moved to a much larger inner city and theres traffic lights all over the place and just doesn't seem like the ideal place for a 600HP slammed stretched busa...i mean really even a stage 1 turbo, an 08 witha pipe and programmer and tune just sounds more practical, i don't have to sell it at all and just the thought of not having it erks me....
-
Are you just realizing this bike is not a practical street bike :?:
-
Are you just realizing this bike is not a practical street bike :?:
not really, it rides fine on the street I just went from a town of 15,000 to a town of 1million.....it was unexpected move so now I have to make a decision on if I can really ride around here and it's not lookin like it..... Sure does suck ass thinkin of not having a turbo though
-
not to mention you leave it out of your view for 2 seconds in that city and it will go bye bye.

I spose its difficult to get insurance on a $50K 600hp hayabusa beast as well, I hate thieves...

Good luck in whatever you decide.

Ace, Im livin in an area with a very high population.
The only way to ride my mcx turbo Busa here is with an oil cooler.
It works.
Everything is possible mate. Dont capitulate.
Try to fix the problems and make the bike more roadworthy.
Give a shit on the more HP and ride with "only" 250-300 on the streets.
Its more than enought. :wink:

yeah Ive just got to find time to get it over to a dyno for a minute.... No serious problems just gotta figure out what the fueling is doing, got to also add a second fan, in all honesty I like this big turbo and don't wanna change it, I like being able to short shift it and still make goobs of power, maybe raise it a little so I'm not limited to freeway riding, Im just gonna see how the work schedule goes cause if I can't enjoy it enough I can't justify having so much $ in something I never get to use....I would rather see somebody else ride and enjoy it

Hey Ace, Give us an update on your bike.

Hey Ace, Give us an update on your bike.
UPDATE: BEEN SITTING IN SAME PLACE FOR 3 1/2 weeks :( getting moved and used to new job....havent found a lick of time to ride much less take it 3 hours over to jay to get the last little bug fixed...don't know what my next move is gonna be, i still haven't even moved it to where i live....all storage places are outrageous so i gotta figure something out soon
-
Just hold on to it. The economy should be going back up soon. You may be able to sell it over the winter.

yeah i'm tossing around a couple of options....i know that once i get the little boost stumble from whatever line or ect....has happened fixed then i will not wanna sell it cause it will be hauling ass....i guess the good thing about it is that its prob worth now what it will be in a year or 2....not like its going out of style or its gonna be looked at as "slower" because its 2006 technology
-
Thats so true.
-
LOL...20 years from now your bike will still be considered fast as hell.
-
tell you what I'll make you a hell of a deal. I'll trade you mine for yours and give you $20 :D all these pages of reading and the last one your thinking about selling? get it right and ride it 1st. then make that call thats just what i would do. but good luck with what you decide.

haha yeah i moved it to indoor storage last 2 weeks ago and the half mile trip there where i got to fire it up and run it down the street i was like OH YEAH I"M A KEEPING....i'm gonna try and ride it over to jays this weekend for an extra fan, and a set of pair block offs and hopefully put it on the dyno and see what the fueling and boost issue is....the first 170 miles i rode the bike it did awesome and was boosting like a mad man so i just need to get it back to that and i will be good....i'm ready for some more of those 5 and 6th gear WOT down the interstate.....roll it up in 3rd at 7K and WOT and it takes of like a N/A bike
-
I cant believe your engine builder didnt put pair block offs on that motor.
-
I cant believe your engine builder didnt put pair block offs on that motor.
well believe it....it had like little jb welds put in it or something....cause as soon as the boost got turned up it would blow them out and then when ever you have the bike running you could hear what sounded to be a ticking. Jay didn't have any in stock so he just got creative and made some....but i'm heading over tomr to get some real ones and a second fan....suppose to go on the dyno but he just called and said his A/F on his dyno isn't working so i guess the boost issue will not be getting fixed but i'm still gonna ride over just to get to ride the bike

Very impressive!
Would you recommend Jay Stedman for parts or services? Only reason I ask I know you spoke a more negative tone about him and his shop some time back in some of your older posts? All in all sounds like he got the combination working for ya and really made some HP.
I like how your bike turned out looks and performs good :thumb:.

Thanks for the compliments. Yes, at this point I would recommend him. I have to say after all of this I learned to not knock it before i try it. A good friend of mine on this board and some troubles with Jay and pleaded with me originally to stay away from him. My friend ended up going over to Cooper Performance in GA and having some good work done. When I started my build i had Cooper build my motor and they were suppose to also tune my bike. After i got the bike put together I was told to come on so i rushed over 450miles to Macon GA. It seemed like everytime i called over there I talked to a different person and nobody knew what in the hell they were talking about or what was going on. One guy even told me "yeah we can schedule you in and you can get a hotel and we can knock it out over 2-3 days. Jerry Cooper runs the shop and he awesome at what he does and has accomplished. I can imagine its hard for him to find guys who WANT to learn and WANT to work hard. If Jerry had some good help none of this would have happened. Jerry cares about getting your bike right and the customer taken care of but all that is hard to accomplish when your business all of a sudden turns into a 1 man show. All i needed was an AMS1000, TIC1000 and a tune. 6 weeks later i picked it up and the only things that were finished was the TIC and AMS install. Having no other options but to drive another 8-10Hr in any direction i decided to go to Jay. From the first 5 minutes I was there he was going over my bike and getting it straightened out. The TIC didn't work right and the AMS wasn't hooked up correctly so me money and 6 weeks at Cooper were kinda a waste. Jay went beyond what anybody else has done so far and i will continue to use and recommend him. I still would let Cooper Performance build my motor and I'm sure jay is just as capable also.

:shock:

UPDATE: got to ride 2 of the past 3 weekends. Seems like this bastard is getting faster. Been running 14-15lb off wastegate whole time. Did a 3rd gear WOT snap at about 8K and it about threw me off the side of the bike, my right foot flew off the peg and somehow i ended up slamming my toes up into the dump pipe OUCH. HAHA things has been hitting like a sledgehammer, i've just learned to creep it up to 7.5-8K and BAM :D Coudn't be happier with the way it takes off. Give me a huge shit eating grin everytime i do it.
-
Do you have enough grip for that massive power on the street?
Sounds like you have a lot of fun with the bike now :thumb:
-

Im running 14-15lb and 350HP off wastegate so I always just short shift it in 1st and 2nd because i'm making 250HP at 7K. It hits so hard in 3rd if you roll it up to about 8K and WOT it....it starts bucking all over the road like you are on a horse. If you lay into it at 4th and above its seems to do pretty well at sucking your face off. So i guess the 240 is doing its job. The bike feels incredible stable even at WOT on 15lb in the higher gears. I imagine if it wasn't as low and stretched it would be quite violent. I did make a pull a week or 2 ago on it when the temps where in the 70's instead of the 90's and it felt like the front end was lifting on it in 3rd. I'm running 19/45 gearing so with my 240 tire thats very close to stock gearing. By far my favorite thing to do so far is just get out on the interstate and get the RPM up and WOT it :D :D :D I bet its going to be more fun once i stop being lazy and start using this AMS1000. I can say that "bobu" stage 2 RCC bike feels faster i guess because its 300HP at stock ride height and wheelbase. Last time i rode his bike it was plan crazy. I felt like i couldn't keep the damn thing on the road, everytime i got in boost it just seemed to pull me left, right, straight up :hys: its nasty at WOT. I would like to ride it again to see how his bike spools compared to mine. I remember running his up to around 7K one time and holding it WOT at 12lb and it felt like you hit a non progressive 100 nitrous shot. The stage 2 seemed to pull the hardest in the 7-9 range and then kinda lose its efficiency. This GT4094 seems to pull harder and harder from 7K- to redline. So far i like the large turbo and how it rides like a normal bike until you get into boost. I plan to keep running pump and not go any higher than 18lb which is what richard recommends. I'm changing my oil and filter every 1K miles also. I hope it last for many many miles of boosted fun
-
TC's probably just felt faster because it came on much sooner and at a slower speed, makes you feel it more, especially stock wheelbase and height....hell 250 hp feels pretty violent at stock height/WB. His probably makes full boost by 7k and thats probably when yours is starting so.....pretty big difference in the midrange....yours just hits really hard, really late....Pick your poison...
Try going to a 10lb spring and using the AMS... that way you can run 1st and 2nd... :thumb:

yeah alan your exactly right about Tommys bike seems to be running its hardest at 7-8K and mine runs hardest up higher. Yeah that turbo stock wheelbase and height isn't for me LOL....i felt so out of control on that thing. Yeah i bought a small blue spring or 7.2lb because they didnt have any larger but i may go back and see if i can exchange it
-
Ace you need to just one time roll into 28-30lbs of boost with some c16...I can't explain how explosive it is...lol
-
Ace you need to just one time roll into 28-30lbs of boost with some c16...I can't explain how explosive it is...lol
yeah i def need to change my sprockets before i go off and do something crazy like that. On 14lb this thing is sweeping the odometer pretty good with the 19/45. Since i don't ride as much as i used to i am constantly finding myself searching for cops and not wanting to open this bike up just anywhere. A year ago i would have been boosting anywhere anytime any place. I don't know if i'm just getting older or what. Hows your bike coming along?

Richard said He would be mailing out my stuff in about a week or so. Did you have any trouble bleeding all the air out of your heatexchanger/plenum? I would think that would be very important. Also what are you using for liquid? I'm thinking of using 60% water and 40% engine ice.

I 100% engine ice in my radiator and jay put 100% water in my plenum and heat exchanger....no problem bleeding the air that i know off

Don't forget to add some type of ant-freeze before it gets cold

Don't forget to add some type of ant-freeze before it gets cold
its in a climate controlled area...and if i ride when its 32 degrees wouldn't the bike be fine as long as you didnt let it sit outside for 3 hours? I don't ever plan on riding this turbo when its 32 degrees because thats way to cold to have to be on the side of the road working on it because thats been happening alot :hys:

Looking forward to throwing in the 7.2lb small blue spring in the wastegate, currently I'm running the 13.0lb large blue spring. My bike creeps to 14lb with the 13lb spring so I'm assuming the 7.2lb spring will result in 8.2lb on wastegate?? Take it for a ride and think of how I like the 7.2lb spring....I hope it doesnt slow the spool big time other wise I guess I could put in the large yellow which is 8.7lb, I am also going to get the AMS on manifold pressure so I can ramp up some boost and stop spinning my ass off at 150mph in the cold weather for a change

Well the time as come to fix the issues this bike has been having. Ace put me on the line to sort out the issues, and so far it's looking pretty good. The goals were to fix the vapor lock issue, fix the exhaust leaks, figure out why the turbo was leaking oil out of both sides, fix/redue a ton of wiring, shorten the wheelbase, clean the injectors, change the plugs, get the ams runnig off co2, and finally get it retuned on pump gas. So just a short list... :shock: :hys:
Both our bikes...there like twins.

One of the things to eliminate the vaporlock was to move the fuel pump under the tail. But while taking the bike apart, it was immidietly apparent why when he was getting vapor lock while riding, what was causing it.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/super%20ultra/b1f7aef7.jpg)
When the tank was painted, only one vent was masked, while the other wasn't. And because of that, the vent is very clogged, and I'm going to have to figure out the best way to clear it. When I told ace what I found, he said that makes sence, because the bike was dynoed with a diffrent tank because this one was getting painted. And he started having that problem when this tank was put on.
Next was the oil leaking from the turbo, and smokey start ups. After verifying with Richard, it was agreed that it was do to the poor position of the oil return on the pan, and the route of the line its self.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/super%20ultra/a7e3d113.jpg)
Here you can see the return line turns back up almost as high as the bottom of the turbo.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/super%20ultra/6c994ec8.jpg)
And here you can see where the line kinks right before the fitting in the back of the pan. The plan is to take the pan off, weld the hole in the back, and move the fitting twards the front left side.
-
Moving along, you'll get to see some of Stedmens handy work. I dropped the turbo and header to install some sort locking header bolts (some were loose) and to change the exhaust gaskets (just in case) I came across these little jewels.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/super%20ultra/3018414f.jpg)
Yes the block off plates you see are the stock air injection plates, cut down, and then welded the hole closed on them. The best part about it is Steadmen took the liberty of useing hi-temp rtv instead of gaskets. :? But you can see on number one where it was leaking.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/super%20ultra/718f28c8.jpg)
And the custom block offs
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/super%20ultra/1830e964.jpg)
And last a pic of the boat anchor on the ground. That's a heavy ass turbo.

You can thread the holes and put short bolts instead of the block off plates.

I thought obout that, but it be my dumb luck id drop metal down an open valve.

Finished disassembling the bike, and found a few more issues. I'll post some pics tomarrow. But I already started ordering parts, so the real fun is going to begin shortly.

Finally had the chance to drain the gas tank, and strip down the bike the rest of the way. I got my work cut out for me for the rewire. :shock: nothin I can't handle. 8)

The shop. :D

After pulling the plenum I pulled the plugs out. They looked pretty beat up. A few high power pulls on c-16 will do that. But looking at the number one plug confirmed my suspicion of a clogged injector. Turns out it was stuck open. The pics below, number one is all the way to the left. You can see it's pretty wet, and that's after a day of sitting out too.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/super%20ultra/1997f81b.jpg)
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/super%20ultra/b8ddaf11.jpg)
All of the injectors are pulled now, and are being sent of to RC to get cleaned and flow checked. And while it's down this far once I get the oil pan back from the welder, back on, and prime the motor, I'm gonna do a compression test, and of course put new plugs in.
Other then that, all the header bolt holes have been chased with a tap, nordlocks are in hand, and just waiting for the block off plates to come in so I can get the turbo bolted back on.

I'm gonna bring a tap of your favorite beer, some deer jerky, a house broke piglet, and a 3 and 1/2 ft tall woman of your prefered race with a flat head and no teeth, oh and a matching mug for the flat head...
Hell with a package like that Ace you can move the fuck over cause the "STUNNAH" be coming!!!

just bring a heat exchanger so I can get out of buying one and you can have the lift space. I'm just down the road from you in Memphis....I knew you couldn't be to far talking about deer jerky and piglets

Had some parts come in, so I was able to start putting it back together. Believe it or not, a super ultra header is very easy to get on and off, it's just got a little weight to it. The 10mm bolts on the bottom made it that much easier.
Nordlocks installed...
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/533a071d.jpg)
Wastegate and APE block offs installed... Very heavy duty.

Pulled the oil pan, and found some gunk...remeber change your oil every 3 months or every 3k miles. :hys:
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/d05f3e49.jpg)
And installed a real RCC oil return I had laying around for my bike, put in the correct location. :D

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/8775a69f.jpg)
I dropped the pan off to have the old hole welded, and sent the injectors off to get cleaned and flow checked.
-
Progress! That oil only has 500 miles on it but sat in the bike for about 18 months. I remember chuck wilburn talking about how important it is to drop and clean a pan besides just changing tye oil after a bikes been sitting up just due to the oil residue hanging out in the pan...looks like someone was right :D

Guess it's been a little while since I posted a few pics. The injectors came back from RC Engineering, and as I suspected one of the primaries was stuck open. Then two of the secondaries were only flowing around 825cc....they're 950's. :shock: Before putting the plenum back on I pulled the clutch, and primed the motor, then did a compression test. All readings were 130-134psi. After that, installed the injectors, fuel rails, and the plenum as well as new fuel lines.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/684e2d1b.jpg)
Had to "message" the straps a bit, not sure how they were ever put on in the first place.
Mostly I've been working on the new wiring. :D

Looking good Murder... :tu: :tu: :tu:

It's been pretty busy in the garage with a lot of other bikes coming and going, but finally have time to post a little update. We were finally able to locate a shorter arm thanks to trick tom...still gotta pick it up, but we were also able to locate a nice set of r1 wheels.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/707a430c.jpg)
Got a real nice axle that adapts r1 wheels to the Busa forks, and made a sleeve that slides over the stock rear axle to accommodate the bigger bearing diameters of the r1 wheels. Can make up a few more sets if anyone's interested. I'll have pics later.
But as usual more wiring to be done. It's almost done. Just need to order more wire, and make a few more connections and that will be it. Once the new arm is on I can then mount the fuel pump, order the needed fittings, and install the c02 bottle and regulator for the ams. Then take it out and run it, then tune it...again.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/01a7689f.jpg)

Let me know the wheel adapting info when u come over or bring the stuff over some i can measure :tu:
How much lighter is the rear than a busa?
-
Not sure on the exact weights, but r1 rims are at least a pound lighter then gsxr wheels.
-
I weighed an '05 gsxr wheel last night and it was 1 lb lighter than my '04 busa wheel.
-
where did you get the axle adapter for the front?
-
Made it on lathe. The fronts a one off axle, then a adapter sleeve for the rear.

Front axle...

So long story short, we figured out the cams were set at 110, instead of 105... So had to undue everything I've done, and pull the motor. :?

Holy crap I've been busy, but I've finally been able to make more progress on this bike. Between getting ready for my gf to move down from Illinois, and dad visiting for awhile, that's taken up a lot of time...not to mention I've had enough side work working on bikes to justify renting a shop space. It's nice having my garage back too. So here we go.
Moving mine and conners to the shop.

Made from scratch work bench. My first time eve building something out of wood.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/8af90bcb.jpg)
Anyways enough of that. Ended up getting the 240 kit off in prep for the new shorter arm and wheels.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/b0143baa.jpg)
Had to degree the cams. Come to find out they were set at 110/108. That explanes why it made such low hp for the amount of boost it took to make 617hp. And a side note thanks to Nem for the phone support to walk me through the cam degree process.

Since the motor was done but no wheels where on it I decided to move the frame on to the motor.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/7369d559.jpg)
Worked out well, and it was super was to get the motor back in the frame.

He was having severe vapor lock issues, even with the pump being insulated on the back of the motor. The old delaminating fuel lines didn't help either, but there shouldn't be any issues now.
-
Looks good, you should have it as god as new anytime now.
Those blue lines have always been a problem, thats why we do not use them, never have. I looked at the oil feed line, it will route a little nicer if you turn the outlet fitting on the block down at 6 oclock and run the feed line under the compressor cover and then up to the fitting, it will help keep it away from the header.
Richard
-
Thanks for the compliment rich!
The bike had black lines on it before, I dunno if you supplied them, or Tom supplied his own, but those lines were so hard you cold use them as a jack stand under a car. Not to mention I cut them length wise and the inside of them were bubbled in some spots pretty badly.
I tried to adjust the feed fitting when I had the stator cover off doing the cams. Any tighter to turn the fitting down, it felt close to stripping, and if you turned it to the left it was just loose enough you could turn it by hand, and possibly leak.
I appreciate the input tho. :D
-
The fuel lines we use are from Parker, and will say it on the hose.

The old ones were mine from 2008.

It's the foot pump one from harbor freight, with a diffrent wheel chock on it also bought from harbor freight. Awsome lift, and cheap as hell. I've had mine for about 2 years and has worked great. I'll be buying a second one here shortly.

:tu: man you do some clean work
Looks great so far nice job

Just a quick pic. I finally figured out (I hope) the last fuel system problem with this bike. I swapped ace's regulator on to my bike, fired it up, and instantly ran shitty. Fuel pressure was showing 43. I swapped another regulator on to my bike and ran fine. So I took his apart and this is what the beef jerky...I mean diaphram looked like.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/4a3656af.jpg)
I can't forget to mention that fuel was leaking in to the top side of the regulator. Ordered up a new diaphram from magnaflow, and it's good to go now.
Moral of the story is don't let fuel sit un treated in your bike for long periods of times. A lot of these issues could of been avoided. :steps off soap box: :hys:
-
Got the last of the fittings in, so I got to finish the fuel system, fill it up with coolant, oil, and prime it.
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/e13f7a6a.jpg)
One thing I forgot was how big low hanging turbos don't like the rear tire lifted of the ground. I primed the motor and topped it off with a total of 4 quarts...all with the rear wheel in the air. After getting the bike on the ground, and filling it up with a little fuel I fired her up...and smoked out my whole shop. But it fired first crank, and purred like a kitten. A real pissed of kitten.
So I pushed it outside and let it kills some Mosquitos, and about 5 min it cleared up. Here's the video. This is a major milestone. :D
(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/onesfallendream/6c22e427.mp4)
Alls I need to do now is get a front sprocket, master link to put the chain on, finish wiring the ams, and those pain in the ass gauges. Should be on the street for part throttle tuning.

Yeah not cranking it but every 6 months with year old gas tends to stop up an injector or two. That thing sounded like a John Deere tractor when I dropped it off

Whats up with this bike, this is the longest project everrr!!! :bah:
-
Been busy with the 5 other bikes I'm doing right now, and even till today I'm still waiting on the last parts for this thing. But got it running and it just purrs. Can't wait to do some part throttle tuning on it here in the next few days.

So it's almost there.
-
Dude....from the look of the floor....looks like you were in a hurry to get out
:mrgreen:
-
It's pretty dusty because of the gravel. I was loading my bike on the trailer and the rear was spinning...so I have to "dust it off" a little to make it all the way up. 8)

:mrgreen:
-
Got it finished! Took about a 25 mile ride. Ran great, and was a pleasure to ride.

And yes I put the air filter on before the ride.
-
That SOB is slick!!!When is it scheduled for tuning??? :tu: :tu: :tu:
-
Dunno, I got a things to tweak and finish up. Just want it to be perfectly road worth, so after the tune it's up to just playing with ramp rates on the boost controller, and dialing the rear shock.

Ace I've not read a turbo story like this one since Alans...lol
hey stop that laughing :cry:
Ace I'm not laughing at you or the situation, basically how things can fu@k up when these bikes are in the wrong hands.
Funny this was said 3 years ago, and we are just finding out the rest of the problems.
-
Was able to get it finished a week or so again, and I've been able to take it out and ride it. This bike is Absolutly awesome! The bike feel and rides down the road like its a stocker. It's got a nice firm ride, and with the new map loaded in the ecu is super responsive out of boost. its just on wastegate right now (4psi) but when it starts going in to boost I notices a little air leaking hiss by the blow off. While I had the plastics off changing the oil I took off the blow off and found a nice section of the o-ring seal pinched and sticking out a little...that was the boost leak I heard. So we got one on order.
The only other issue I've found was the bikes not charging. I did find the negitive cable that grounds out on the starter loose...like bolt about to fall out loose. That was my mistake. I looked over that when I put the engine back it. After tightening the bolt it still isn't charging, so I have a feeling with that cable not making a good connection it over stressed the recifier and burnt it out, so I'll have to replace that. I'm sure it will solve the problem, it never had a charging issue before.
On another note I've put just over 100 miles on it, and again it's an awesome machine. The only thing left to do is strap on the c02 tank and take it up to Johnny cheese.

I just sent down some new AEM gauges. I know he's been tied up with work and getting my friends RCC stage 2 put back together. Last time we spoke it was just waiting on the gauges, the C02 lines to get hooked up for the AMS and a trip to Johnny Cheese

Hey you were worried about the red lights in the gauges. It's actually looks great at night. There's a lot of red in your tach/speedo so there's a balance.
