new air filter with a pete and exben inlet flange.

have a k5 front end to go on and gix 1000 wheels so will have a 6" rear. will also get shortly hooligan's jmc arm. is all systems go.

[Gitzy]

Ooooh that looks menacing..

[Deano]

took a trip up to booster's on oz day. found a couple of little issues that we sorted and filally got a reasonable number from it.

still have more tuning work to do. have still got issues with the cam sensor that i through i had fixed. the problem has moved up to about 9400rpm before it starts breaking down.

pumping in 6psi we ended up making 187hp at the wheel and 151nm of torque. we only put in 25 deg of timing so another 8-10 deg to go and we will spin it to 10000rpm that been the case we should nearly be able to crack 200hp at the wheel on the same boost as the power curve is still rising nicely.

i took it for a ride around the block yestrday and even tho it isn't tuned proberly and i only used about 20% throttle it felt like there was power a plenty. cant wait to get it tuned properly and finished so i can give it a good handful.

big thanks to booster for his help with the tuning

all in all a successful day but still more work to do

[Booster]

Very busy couple of days Deano, Yours and Bones bikes were both works of art, and a pleasure to be able to help
Funny how yours and Jo's hp were so close but the torque tells the whole story of rpm and hp and a few more rpm out of yours will make a big difference

[Deano]

also got the oil through frame thing happening aswell. ended up making them from stainless

[Iceman]

Where's my thanks Deano??? I passed that screwdriver, remember!

sorry clint

and a big thanks to iceman for handing me a screwdriver and doing something else quite lame that i cant remember

couldn't have done it without you mate.

thats awsome mate i am happy my ride is with you cos you know damn well what you are doing when it comes to turbos and shit


still a long road to travel yet mate.

[Iceman]

I think passing the green folder was the other thing.

Your welcome mate

[Booster]

88 ft/lbs at 8900 but the peak hp was at 12k rpm

[Deano]

wow how different are the two motors. way down on torque in comparison.

[Surt]

as much torque as honda jazz' [:o)]

[Fight_fan]

Rekon she might be sorted by easter mate? Its coming up a treat! Awesome to the max!

[Deano]

nah mate. no chance sorry. i will have to make other arrangements for easter

[Fight_fan]

Spewin! I cnt wait to see it crank up properly hey!..

[maggotbreath]

Hey Deano, I've busy huntin down parts to convert my carbed Turbo to FI, I've a local supplier for the SM4 but thier asking $3,000 canadain. Hope ya don't mind my asking but how much did you fork out for your's?

[Fight_fan]

Moggotbreath (if that is ur real name) Im sure u'l find it much better if u go n intro urself properly b4 jumpin in head 1st like this... A little courtesy goes a long way here!

[maggotbreath]

Clasic newbee mistake, apologies! I will go intro my self right away.

ps Deano should know me from another forum.. Oldskoolsuzuki

[Deano]

hey maggot. is it just me or is OSS down at the moment. seems quite unreliable.

bout $2500AUD is retail but should be able to get a better deal. if you shop around.

once you have gone efi you wont look back. a few guys on this forum run the sm4 and have got brilliant results. worth the money thats for sure. will do all a motec will do for half the cost.

also be careful what you buy for the conversion as you could end up buying things twice like i did on a few things. if you want shoot me a pm and let me no what you are wanting/doing/have already got and i will let you no what i used and so on.

[JackTar]

I can't wait to see this finished Deano.

[maggotbreath]

hey Deano, can't send PM's yet, not enough posts. I would be very interested in some advice on the parts you used to convert you bike to EFI. Buying stuff twice can be very agrivating, definatly apriciate any help.

[Deano]

been awhile since an update but have now gathered a bit on intrest again as i think my shitty cam sensor signal problem has been fixed.

since last time i have got hooligan's old jmc arm so fitted that. i have a gix1000 wheel that i have machined to within an inch of its life to get to fit. it is getting prepped for a coat of aerosol flat black and therefore is not pictured

the rear shock that was in it was stuffed so grabbed the ohlins out of the race bike to stand in till i get a suitable alternative.

i have taken off the spondon clipons and just put on a set of std k4 600 clipons to improve the riding position.

the cam sensor is off a 6litre v8 that is in the commodores now days . it senses off the cam lobe as it comes around. it is a powered sensor so has pos, neg and signal terminals. so far it revs to redline with no errors but wont know exactly how good it is till it goes on the dyno but at this stage i am very confident my problem is gone. 250hp here i come.
also added a windowed ignition and starter clutch cover just cause i can

[Iceman]

Good to see a bit of movement here mate, I was only just thinking about it the other day and wondering what was happening.

[BANDITROD]

fuck thats tuff mate i love it and good to hear about the cam sensor prob too

[ozzy1100]

love your work deano

[jzbusa]

Hey Deano, looking good mate. Glad that cam sensor worked out for ya. Cant wait to see the this thing finished.

[Deano]

http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z368/deano179/photo7.jpg

got the photo bucket thing sorted. and it even worked.

little bit of progress.

have made a full exhaust system for it.

put in a 6inch gix rear wheel.

put in a k8 or so rear shock

got some flat bars from exben (thanks again mate) and made some risers and a top triple for them. bottom triple still to come. cant finish the top triple till the slitting saw shows up.

made a radial res adaptor to a busted res that i had now it looks a lot neater than using a huge stock res.

have put on some braided lines on the front,. had a pair of 6inch longer lines hanging around. they will do for now but are too long as you can see.
thats about all.

now for pics.

[Hagarr]

Well done looking very functional!

[sharky]

Nice mate...but to my eye it needs a bigger headlight...looks empty around the headstock...

[LKC73]

Nice one mate. Should pull ya arms out of your sockets well and proper!

[Fight_fan]

Sweeet! Is it runnin all proper like yet mate?

[wackyrider]

Looking good deano

[crazymofo]

looking tough as guts deano!
dont spose you want to buy a new ohlins shock for it do ya? ;)

cheers.joe.

[80s freak]

I've got WOOOOOOOD! Awesome!

[Deano]

It runs real well but has potential to be better. No coughs or splutters starts great but still more tuning to be done to complete the tune

[Iceman]

Got it rego'd yet????

[Deano]

Nah mate will be a bit before I get to that stage. Need a complete loom made for a start

[goondaddy]

obviously a machinist?bang up most of that yourself?
the clamps?

the troll!

[Deano]

yeah mate knocked them up myself. i am a bearing salesman during the day and play bikes to stay sane.

got a mill and lathe a few months back. still learing the ropes, trying not to get my hair caught in the machinery mostly

[Iceman]

lol

id patronise an individual over a cnc shop anyday!ie top clamp and mount!
if you only got the gear to do your own,then fair enough!
perhaps you could capatalise?again ive had a few burbs!
was only a question!
there is a fella SA who does clamps,called that number no answer!

cheers

the troll!

[Deano]

Time for a update. Alot been happening but mostly those time consuming jobs that take ages for what seems like no result

Thanks to shano I now have a full wiring loom.

I have done pretty much everything I can think of to make the bike road worthy and ADR compliant so the engineer can pass it with ease

Nice one Dean, your gunna have the only street legal fighter in the country

[Deano]

Won't be using the headlight or rear fender but Need them to keep the law happy

http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z368/deano179/6de7d419.jpg

Made a mount for the motogadget and LEDs for idiot lights. Once all approved I will recess them into the top triple in front of the risers

[Deano]

Had to vent the wastegate into the main exhaust instead of running a screamer Pipe

http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z368/deano179/1073aeb4.jpg

The pipe snakes round the back of the main exhaust through a double slip joint and merging into the exhaust

The pipe is removable and can be capped off for a time where I can run a screamer pipe
Pic of the wastegate pipe tacked before final welding
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z368/deano179/d265ed08.jpg

[Deano]

I made a new fuel rail cause I was never happy with the original. This one is much better. Easier to take off the tank and won't rub on anything like the last one would
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z368/deano179/6ef7442f.jpg

http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z368/deano179/b5a81901.jpg

Imbed in the boost control valve as well it I'd the blue and black valve with the brown wires going to it. Will have boost controlled by the gear Gear I an in

Will only go to a max of 10psi for now to save the engine

[Deano]

I relocated the bov from above the plenum on the up pipe to the back of the plenum above the battery. Needed to do this cause the new fuel line occupy the space that the bob used to live in
http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z368/deano179/71dd9d15.jpg

[Deano]

Made a nice chunky bottom triple. It is simple and 65mm thick

http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z368/deano179/c24450eb.jpg

[Deano]

So today is the day that I pull the bike down for final finishing. I wish that it was as easy as it sounds but there is a huge amount of work ahead of me to get it done. I hope to have it finished for motogp

We also had some dyno time at dyno dynamics a month or 2 back and we squeezed out 156hp (dyno dynamics horse power) at the wheel or 180odd hp in dynojet speak all on 5.5psi boost at 12.0afr

[xa-mont]

looking good mate.

[BANDITROD]

Fucking awesome stuff deano

[Surt]

bloody awesome pics mate cant blive u didnt film the dyno event

[Deano]

thanks guys.

didn't film anything cause it is not the final tune. didn't have time to kick the boost control in the guts and i was fiddling so i am no expert therefore a tuner that knows what they are doing will take over the tuning once it is back together and coax the last remaining horses out of it.

then i will video the dyno pulls for you

[Gitzy]

Looking wicked Deano, love the chunky triple.

[Yella]

Looks sweet love the fender ;), what material did you make the lower clamps from

[Deano]

6061 mate

[80s freak]

Looks great Deano, and just think once it's rego'd you'll be able to dig your garden with that shoveloff the back of the bike.

[LKC73]

Man you have put a lot of work into this bike, and your pulling it down again! Look forward to the final pictures mate.
Great work!

[Deano]

Yeah mate 4-1/2 years of work gone into this thing. happy to see the end of it and just ride it. Got to sort out all the detail before it is regoed as it would never get done otherwise

[Fight_fan]

Thats awesome Deano! Turned out really fuckin nice!

[Deano]

Hi all.

Been a while since my last update. Thought I would give you a taster of what's been going on

The bike is now registered and passed engineers report. Brynn and i went for an official shake down ride tonight and so far so good. It goes like nothing else I have ever riden. The tune is pretty good. Couldn't fault it was nice to ride round town

I will be pulling the bodywork off in the next few days to let gibbo wave his magic spay gun over it and while that's happening I will be adding the final touches

As a raster here are some pics of the motor

Next update will be when it is pretty much done to how I want it for now

[BANDITROD]

That looks shit hot mate

[Iceman]

That's fuck'n awesome mate, and I know awesome!

[robmac]

Absolutely love it mate

[OLD SKOOL BANDIT]

This thing rides as good as it looks !!!! Meek and mild then at about 2.5k it spools up and wants to fly !!! 7 shades of awesome Deano. Handles really well too. For a shake down ride it inspired confidence and wanted to be ridden hard. Only down side, it made my little B12 seem pedestrian and I had to screw the tits off it to try keep him in sight. Serious bit of kit there mate, looking forward to seeing it line up at Heathcote.

[xa-mont]

that is just about the coolest looking motor i have ever seen. Awesome job!

[kev@vcm]

CHRIST ALL MIGHTY THATS PORN well done looks like a real animal

[pappas]

I love it!! One of my favourite build this one!

[wackyrider]

WOW. That looks great Deano. Are you taking this up to the NFR?

[Deano]

Thanks

Not sure frenchy. Running out of time fast

That's no excuse Deano, if you ride it there, you can make up time in the air like an airline pilot.

Engine looks awesome.

[Gitzy]

Awesome work Deano. By far the best looking donk I ever did see.

[Fight_fan]

Pure bike porn that is! Awesome to the maxx!

[LKC73]

Oh fuck Deano, that is just awesome mate! Fantastic job and look forward to seeing it all painted and going again.

[El_Hefty]

looks beautiful Deano nice work

[Large]

what they ^^^ said.

you got any of those other clear covers for sell?

[ozzy1100]

what more can be said deano top shelf

[Yella]

nice work

[pav69]

thats a great looking setup deano best looking bike motor ive seen

[rod185651]

I have nothing but respect for the work and skills you have applied to this build, very inspirational.

[Hagarr]

That would grace any international magazine article with Kudos(Not that you need to!))

Exceptional quality!

Respect!!! ;)

[80s freak]

Bryn, I'll take your 7 shades of awesome and raise you a "to the power of mental". Rides beautifully. Really well engineered Deano. Really top shelf work!

[Deano]

well after an expensive last few months i can nearly say that stage 1 of this bike is complete.

the frame swinger and other little bits have been either powdercoated or painted,

all the steel bits and fasterners have been plated in zinc black.

i have brought matching brembo rcs19 clutch and brake cylinders with a set of 3 bxp res's
custom made hel brake lines.
billet chinky rearsets
sprint steering damper
new set of renthal flat bars
intergrated tail and indicators
new set of pilot road 2ct tyres
new chain and sprockets
i am sure there is more but that is all i can think of for now.

Big thanks to Gibbo for the paint. it is basically silver tinter with a very coarse metallic. looks great thanks mate. he also painted the wheels in a black to match the powdercoated frame. the 2 similiar colors in 2 different finishes tie in well i like it alot.

i took the bike to get tuned by a pro last wednesday. after a couple of tanks of fuel we were done. the tune is nothing short of amazing. after riding it beforehand with my basic tune in it and thinking it was pretty bloody good this tune is 10 times better. so dam smooth. manners that would put an oem efi bike to shame. the tuner seems to have done an awesome job. worth the money. i requested the tuner stay on the consertive side with the tune so we ended up with 190hp and 185nm on 10psi.

we have got gear based boost control with 5.5psi in first 7 in second and 10 for the rest of the gearbox.

the first time i rode the bike in anger was at heathcote on the weekend and the power delivery had me stumped. i was expecting to have the triples trying to smash me in the face. the wheel wanting to turn itself into smoke and get off the thing shaking my head vowing never to get on it again.

in fact it was the opposite. i parked it after 3 runs thinking it had issues and was down on power. it didn't feel fast at all. got back on an hour or so later and ended up running a 10.83 @ 132mph so it was making the power but i am amazed how so much power can be so usable. no wheel standing. no wheel spinning just forward thrust. may have a bit to do with the fact it is geared very tall and i am only changing to 4th as i am going over the line.

after than run i put the bike away as the chain adjuster is trying to turn in the swingarm and that is not cool.
