Having some serious setbacks here.  :'(

I need to get a few more things mounted before getting serious about the wiring.  I want the battery, dash, switches and fuel pump in place before messing with the harness.  So no luck yet.

That fooker looks great E-Farmer
Altho...
You might want to put a small cross brake in those larger panels to keep the vibration rattle down...I'm afraid that they might be deafening, once they get to vibrating with the powerplant resonance
Just my 2 cents ;D

Updates?

I dunno, I haven't been to the shop to see if anyone has worked on it for me....   rofl


I think that I have decided to skip the "just get it running" stage and go for a turbo upfront rather than  have to rework a bunch of crap later to make it work.  Radiator, fuel plumbing, exhaust, etc.


So I need to ask a bunch of questions and dig through some build logs to figure out where to head with it.


Does anyone make a kit for people that want to turbo but don't want to buy the bike specific plumbing?  Or are you better off piecing it together, or buying a bike kit and just don't use or sell the parts that won't work?

Do NOT buy a kit. Start with a good ball bearing fan ,an intercooler,some SS header tubing, a supplemental fuel system of your choice and your fab skills. Viola,1/2 the cost .Hell  I forgot what engine you're using.

Aha! I think it's a busa.Use a Hahn portfueler ot feed the thing. I also highly suggest you data log it to tune it also.Sneak up on the boost and skip the dyno.

Oh ,don't forget the SS cast header flange for the busa . Makes for a professional header fab for sure that WILL NOT leak. Very important with a turbo.

Hey that SS header flange sounds like a good start.  I will have to find one of those.

So does Hahn sell just the portfueler setup.....

I need to do some research when I get time.

Probably but the Split Second box is simple and plenty adequate unless you plan on 20+ PSI. Even then ibt is fine for us.

I like all this turbo talk..lol.  What size turbo's are we talking about here.  Do you think something like off of a Ford Probe, or maybe off of a small Chrysler 4-cyl?  Does the size of the "air box" if you will, have an affect of how the turbo will work?  Too many more questions....im gonna do some searching...

I'm not a fan of using any OEM turbos. However ,size depends on many factors. I am finding that for 6-10 PSI a Garrett Gt25R is a good choice for a busa. Makes boost by 4K rpm and is very drivable. Higher boosts MAY need a larger hairdryer such as a GT 35 R or equivalent.
