Nice build mate.. I bought some headers from the states last year and they took 2 1/2 weeks..

[NINJAINOZ]

Thanks 98green
I received my Lithium Ion battery today, I had to check it with the multimeter which confirmed it had 13 volts, It feels so light I was sure they just sent me a plastic shell that looked like a battery, There is power so something is in there? Finishing off the battery mount tomorrow hopefully if work does not get in the way?
Should have the battery & all the wiring back in place then
I mainly need a ZX7 swingarm at the moment to keep the project moving forward & still need to tidy up & sort out more wiring under the tank & up to the speedo & dash etc then just try & keep focused on getting it on the road

I keep looking at my stock headers sitting in the shed thinking how easy it would be to cut them up & make a turbo manifold out of them but lots of other stuff needs to be done first

Thats the easy part though, Collecting all the rest of the bits & tying it all together is the harder part
Some of the steps along the way I have done would work with a turbo later on
Like you mentioned in the carb slide spring mod thread it is best not to have the slides drilled for a turbo so that was another factor that swayed me towards the Factory Pro carb kit

Later on when I get the Dyna 2000 ignition it should also work nicely with a turbo being able to dial it in with the right curve

Curious though What turbo do you run on the ZX7 & what other options are there?

[Yella]

I run stock ingintion curve and you can fill and redrill the hole in the slide as needed the standard needles work better than the after markets aswell.
I run a Garrett from a 2 litre Saab picked it up cheap of EBay. Probably could do with a slightly small exhaust side but it works a treat now so not complaining. Heaps of options around for turbo's some of the other's can give you some good advice on the details of turbo selection. I just used my gut and the fact it was cheap

[damo1]

I didn't your txt mate mate?

This is it anyway mate:



Alloy factort kit fuel tank - the air pipe are only tacked on and do not go all the way through the tank.

It has a surge tank at the rear lower end - as far as i awre it has never been on a bike.

Perfect condition - no tap , no cap , no mounting brackets

[NINJAINOZ]

Unfortunately it suits the earlier models, Looks to be around a 91 model tank Which will not fit on the L model mounts & wont match up with the L model tail?>

yes for the turbo mate.. I would love to turbo my zx6r but just not sure how... yet..

I don't wanna thread hijack, but... Turbo a 600? Why not save a ton of hassle and get a 900 or litre bike if you want more power. If 1000cc turns out to not be enough grunt then a turbo would make sense.

Let see lighter better handeling bike, faster turn in, better braking, with all the power and more of an over litre bike , why wouldnt you turbo a 600 ? Cause someone said why bother ?

Cause a turbo makes you cool and give you street cred

I can't speak for others but I did mine to see if I could now that I have I love it

[NINJAINOZ]

Got the battery mount & wiring etc back in & it all looks sweet now with about 20mm clearance between the ZX7 shock reservoir & the lower battery cradle, I will get some pics of it all together another day
The aluminium cradle could be riveted to the plastic but I went with some buttonhead stainless screws for now

A nice easy mod for anyone looking at fitting a ZX7 or ZX10 etc shock to a ZXR 750, It does the job & looks sweet & stops the ultralite battery from floating away

[damo1]

no dramas mate

Why build a street fighter? What's wrong with the stock bike from factory then?
Each to there own and haters are gunna hate so hate away champ

So to sum up

1. Power:weight/handling ratio
2. Because it's cool
3. Because you can

I think my question has been answered. Thanks guys.

Yeah a small bike is zippy & can usually corner better much like a 125cc dirt bike getting the fastest lap times round a tight track cause they can be on the throttle longer & brake less, Same on the road I spose, If you want to corner & go fast them maybe turbo a 600, You cant beat cubes (Or CC's) out on the open road though, Its a bit of a juggling act really, power/weight cornering/top speed etc, I think the ZX10 is a good balance, They still corner fairly good & like a smaller bike but they have damn good top speed, I think I will go for a ZX10 next

I would prefer to drop a ZX9 motor in my ZXR but if I dont find one then maybe a turbo on the 750 later on will be OK

You see it all the time on little rice burner cars where the Fast n The Furious type wanna be's go & drop a turbo on an old clapped out motor & think they will have 500HP, I need to get the rest of the crap sorted & get it running spot on first though & I would do an engine rebuild before I even thought of fitting a turbo but I am a fussy cunt

I have got the battery area wiring etc tidied up heaps better now






I found a new fuel tap for $20US so why not, One less thing to worry about down the road

[Yella]

Looks neat, Nice work

[NINJAINOZ]

Thanks Yella
I finally got the headlight wired up, I know the Polisport MMX (& similar) dirtbike headlight I am currently using is not the best but I thought I would see what I can do with it
I fitted a CREE? LED headlight bulb to replace the standard 35W/35W BA20D bulb so it drops straight in with no mucking round modifying & has high & low beam just like the stock bulb, For the very little power it uses it seems damn bright, Will be interesting to see how it goes on the road, I have also got to wire in the parking bulb which is a BA9s style & I have also replaced it with a 4-LED super bright bulb which only uses .36W compared to the stock 4W bulb, The LED parker bulb will boost the Lo beam too
Both the bulbs that I have replaced looked like smoldering candles compared to these new LED's
