Respect. I worked with a guy nearly twenty years ago who had modified a ZZR1300 to 1500cc and slapped a turbo on it. A magnificent feat of engineering. Have fun
i have had 189 on the clock..well into the redline..top speed isnt that important its the speed it gets there that makes me gigle like a girl. mr insurance doesnt know yet,shhhh..dont tell anyone. i have had aquote for 430 from carol nash wich isnt bad considdering i live in huyton. yeah there is a bit of lag the boost doesnt come in till 7500,cos the turbo is a whopper .its good for400 bhp.pros and cons tho .i can cruise on the motorway at 110 in 6th at 7000 without it tryin to take off and get me knee down at 6000 riding steady.it handles just like a normal r1 until it makes 8000 and then all hell breaks loose 130 mph wheelies in 5th and all that.he..he
Top man - like your work!! Needs a little nitrous pre-spool to get that sucker spinning! Or some launch boost control of some kind (what people tend to call Anti-lag, but thats a bit of a misnomer as Anti-Lag is descriptive of a number of systems). I'm 12 years experienced with automotive engine management systems, and moving in to bike tuning in the next few months, so feel free to lean if you need any engine management advise...
