bummer that sucks, shouldn't be too hard to fix hopefully. That definitely will limit boost being produced.
okay, i'm at a loss,
first off on the weak dyno the bike was on, i just talked to dave page, and he told me he had talked to those guys at the dragstrip about dynoing some of his stuff for him, and when he said he had a turbo hayabusa, that they said they won't dyno them, the dyno won't handle it, the day i was there, 5 of em gathered around discussing my bike in the corner before they even agreed to strap it down. like i said then, i believe they were trying to fug me. i also asked dave in his honest opinion, if the bike had a cracked header, would he have heard it (i've only put 100 miles maybe on the bike since it got the air shifter put on), he said he would have definately been able to hear the bike if it had a header leak on it,
i don't know bikes, i know cars, and i know what an exhaust leak sounds like. on top of that as far as boost. i am not buying the 1-2 psi of boost. i 100% positive know the bike was making 7 to 8 psi of boost. the last time i rode it before i listed it, i did a 151 mph blast on the road just to see what some of the higher speed stuff felt like, i could barely hold onto the bike, i looked at the boost gauge and it was sitting at 8psi, that was 20 miles ago on the bike, i rode it home, the car sold a couple days later and i listed it for sale, it was never showing 1 to 2 psi, no way, no how
buyin the bike honestly i wasnt worried cause i knew where the bike came from..the guy who started this bike is good friends with the guy i bought my ultra bike from...i contacted him and got the low down on bike....being terry had it a short time i really didnt think anything could be screwed up on it...
as for problems it will go on dyno tomorrow morning..if its a blown head gasket im not gonna be happy....between runnin oct booster and no water inj on bike im kinda scared of the head gasket now seein it has such a huge drop in power...
we will see tomorrow
now, the guy he says he talked to about the bike is name louis i believe, i'm not sure what he posts on under here, but he's the one that listed the bike i bought, this bike. funny thing is, he is the same guy that greg bought the ultra bike from that he whined and complained about all over the place on here. if he screwed him on the last bike so bad, why would he be calling him on this bike?
on top of that, i just spoke to john mckenna, the guy i bought the bike from, he told me that 2 days after he bought the ultra bike from louis, he called him telling him the turbo was cracked on the bike and demanded money for a new turbo.
okay......
now, my next question is this, greg just called me demanding $1700 to build a new header and tune the bike because it's gotta be pulled apart now or he's gonna sue me.
what i want to know is, whats involved in building an ultra bike? i've heard this term thrown around the last couple times. when greg bitched about the painted stuff on the bike, that i already took a $550 hit on, he said he was gonna use the $500 to have the stuff powdercoated while the bike was down, because it was going to be down anyway converting it to an ultra bike? when he first put the deposit down, he told me he was gonna buy a new busa, but when he saw the 08's they were so ugly that he decided to buy a used one to convert it into an ultra bike
john (previous owner) told me an ultra bike needs new headers, bigger turbo raked forked and all kinds of stuff, like 15k or so worth of stuff, i don't know if thats true or not, but what i would love some guys that no what this "ultra bike is" to chime in.
now, the bike definately did not have an exhaust leak, and i'm willing to bet the pictured pic of the header could have easily been pushed down by him, because there was no exhasut leak on the bike, it was super quiet until you started getting into boost, i don't know turbo's, but i know boost, and i know there was a definate whistling sound, 8 psi, followed by a big woosh when you shifted or let off the throttle,
all i know is the bike was scary fast, scary, with perfect drivability
