2 years of head fcuk..but it was wort it

as far as ecu and fuel controll its as basic as it gets with a rising rate fuel regulator,the ignition timin is retarded 4 degres with an adjustable rotor.
it needs a custom map on the pc3 but i am waitin till next season cos i am not happy with the headders.they are very restrictive
it only makes 200 ish on 8 psi, and it should make near 240 on 5. so this winter i will pull the motor and get the grinder out.

 

I'm assuming you've dyno'd it? What kind of AFR was it running at 8psi?

 

no dyno yet.its pig rich tho just to be safe tho.and the water injection keeps detonation at bey and helps resist those piston melting moments

 

You're a braver man than me NED! Hopefully your motor stays in one piece!

Worth looking at a DIY engine management system though I'd say (to control Ign & Fueling) I bet there is a ton of power tied up in having proper mapping - will be following this project anyway, bet its an absolute weapon!

 

yeah it is a bit risky,,,the power is tied up in a new set of headers.had it mapped and dynoed with a garrett t22 last year and it only made 175 at the wheelwith a load of dett at 6000.the compressor was too small causin big air intake temps so that turbo went in the bin and i now have the t3.just lookin for an excuse to take it off the road and start fabing the header

 

What kind of intercooling do you have? I bet intake temps are going to be quite a feature of this project as the space restrictions on a bike must be immense!

 

no intercooler.mc express in switserland are the only people who can make a curved intercooler core to fit and its only 35mm thick so its cooling isnt going to be that good...generally no cooling is needed below 6 psi depending on compression ratio..water injection is a far more efficient method of charge air cooling than intercooling.my water injection is only a temporary measure cos i am pushing the limits of boost on my 11.8 cr.

 

Water Injection can be very effective yes (used it many times over the years on cars up to 1,100hp), the only issue with it, is the human element of having to fill it up!

I'd also be blending my own fuel if I were in your shoes, a dash of Toluene or Xylene (10-20%) will keep some of the det-monsters at bay. There was an industrial paint thinner I used to use in a nitrous'd Micra (don't ask), which was a blend of Toluene, Xylene and Acetone (tiny amount of Acetone), it worked a charm with a 50 shot of Nitrous with only 2 degree's timing pulled. Took the poor thing from 67hp at the wheels to 102hp!

 

i was goin to put some pics up but i used all me free goes on me first post.if i subscribe do i get unlimeted uploads

 

I'm not sure, I would think you'd certainly get more - even if not unlimited.

 

AAAAAGGGGHHHHH...!!!!!!! CANT GET TO THE STORE BLOODY SERVER ERROR..cant get to off topic to moan about it :banghead:

 

Bet thats a beast and good fun to try and keep the front down !!
You could upload your pics on somewhere like photobucket or similar and put a link to them.

 

check me out i am now a vip....whoop whoop
oh yeah, its a scream

 

Good luck haha

 

that things fkin mental, you got some big brass one there fella and i gotta hand it to ya for the craftmanship and ditermination. bravo sir bravo haha

 

cheers mate,there was a few times when i felt like putting a match to it.
i did considder making race fuel ,looked into a ethanol mix but theres no versitility.if the ethanol is stored in my garage i am limited to the range of 1tank.and this thing fookin drinks it. also waters free and prety abundant.....nitrus micra ...giggle.


some pics of the bits for the new headers just wish i had some time to putit together

epic mate, always loved turbo'd bikes, i live in huyton too, if i see that thing coming i think i will just bow in amazement :surprise:

im sure ive seen that bike about recently, are you fond of the occasional wheelie by any chance?

 

the odd wheelie ....its tike a fookin unicycle. if i see you about localy ill tag along
