Sounds like your on the right track ...well done

Ballistic clutch ordered lets see if that helps.
Message sent to TK to see if he still has the window clutch cover he was looking to sell about a year ago (long shot) things are happening

Could the boost be opening the choke circuit. Might pay to wire it shut just to be sure

Yella
22-10-2011, 01:33 PM
I don't think it can will read up on it now.
I have ordered a check valve for the oil feed line as I am flooding the turbo with the bike off and end up with oil in the intake and smoke for the first 5 mins of running. Will strip the intake and clean it during the week. I have put a push button over ride on the scavenger pump so when I shut the bike down I can run the pump for a short time after to help clear any excess oil.
What AF are people running at at mine is
Idle 14.5
idle to 1/4 12.9ish
1/4 to 1/2 11.8ish
1/2 to WOT 10 and holds from 3000 rpm all the way to rev limiter

Down to 122/125 main jets not sure if I should keep going down.
It has a little stumble as the boost comes on but only small. Over all pretty happy at the moment but need to get the rego sorted this week so I can go on a couple of extended test runs.
Also thinking of getting some K series plugs( same plug just twin electrode)has anyone had any positive or negative feed back when doing this?

Excellent work mate. It must be really satisfying to see the fruits of your labor finally paying off. Well done can't wait to see it!

1/4 to 1/2 11.8ish
1/2 to WOT 10 and holds from 3000 rpm all the way to rev limiter

This all looks pretty good to me, the only thing i'd try and change is the WOT. If you can lean that off to the mid to high 11's it'd be better.

Whats the AFR like cruising at 60K, 80K and 100K?

Yella
25-10-2011, 07:38 PM
Was looking to pull it back to low 11 area at WOT. Just getting smaller than I expected on the main jets. What is the chance that the AF gauge isnt reading correct under full load. It should read correct all the time yes?
Found this in the manual VVVVV
On TURBO CHARGED vehicles:
Install the bung downstream from the turbo but before the catalytic converter. The
high exhaust pressure before the turbo interferes with the lambda measurement and
the high exhaust temperatures encountered there can damage the sensor.

Mine is fitted just after the turbo could this be a problem???
Was thinking of doing a dyno run to double check
Not sure on the cruising stuff yet hope to get a good long run this weekend to check the cruise AFR.

In staying that it seems to be working OK. Under light throttle it moves up and down with throttle movement etc it drops to 9.7 as boost comes on then settles on 10ish and as soon as I roll off it gets out to 14.7ish like I said all seems good [u]just thinking out loud</u>

Deano
25-10-2011, 07:50 PM
Should be right. Mine is mounted in same spot and is quite accurate

latheboy
26-10-2011, 10:32 AM
It sounds like your on a winner.
When you checker your afr at 1/4,1/2 etc, was that while riding or free rev?
You need to load the motor to know whats going on, free reving doesn't tell you anything.

I would get onto a dyno if you can just to make sure it's ok. If the dyno doesn't have a AFR meter don't use it.

I did cruising checks and they are 13.6:1 at 60kph(0.1psi), 13.7:1 at 70 (0.2psi) and 14.0:1 at 80kph (0.5psi) I can't find the 90kph and 100kph so i can't tell you, I hope they were good:D.

At WOT (4th gear) mine goes from 10.8:1(60kph and 0.7psi) to 11.7:1 (90kph 2.5psi)to 12.3:1(204kph 7.1psi).

Yella
26-10-2011, 12:38 PM
Sweet thanks,
Did test checks riding but limited for space should be able to expand the test area this weekend and get some real testing done

Sweet thanks, i am happy to see it back on the road after a life time in the shed
Still needs a good tidy up and finish the paint off and one day I will replace the cheap ebay crap with some good quality stuff or maybe not maybe I will ride it and find a new project to be a tight arse with :D anyway still has a ways to go

Yella
29-10-2011, 07:54 PM
Just out of interest.............................. well maybe just my interest.
My ZX7 has around 70 psi oil pressure and the oil feed to the turbo is restricted to 1mm. So with the bike running I get 200ml of oil in 20sec at the turbo feed line so what you say, well nothing but when I need to find that info later its now in the thread so I know

Deano
29-10-2011, 08:03 PM
Is it a ball bearing turbo? If it is plain bearing I would expect to get more oil out than that

Yella
29-10-2011, 08:22 PM
Plain bearing. I was talking to the local turbo shop the fella said as long as I had above 1/2 litre minute I should be ok better if I can get closer to 1 litre. My return pump can do 1.8lpm so was going to try a bigger restrictor tomorrow to get closer to the 1.5lpm mark without fucking everything up to much after I fit the check valve

Yella
29-10-2011, 09:24 PM
Alrighty then bigger restrictor and getting 1.2LPM will see how that goes tomorrow

Yella
30-10-2011, 07:27 PM
After much fucking around
The one and only test this weekend ( I am fast running out of time) rejetted and new clutch.
Looks to be at about 11.4 at WOT in 3 gear with headlight pointing north but will need to confirm with somemore runs during the week. The new clutch is sweet and with my foresight I fitted shorty levers so I will have a massive forearm in no time

Yella

Its ready for NFR not finished but ready for NFR :D:D:D

Still need the final test, clean and the little yellow plate on the back but good things come to those who wait and Im sick of waiting

Looks shit hot mate

Yella
26-11-2011, 11:45 AM
The missing bits........................

Just did a 200kish shake down run up the putty all went well getting about 150k before reserve and nothing played up/fell off. When it all cools down I will go over it again just for fun. One think is for sure Im out of shape and before you say I know round is a shape.

BRING ON NFR

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/NFR%202011%20Cooma%20NSW/DSC01136.jpg

Just got back from NFR with the ASF fella's. Great weekend and only problem the bike had was a flat tyre other than that all is sweet.
So much fun in the twisty stuff just powers out of corners :party-smiley::party-smiley::party-smiley: managed to get some heat into the tyres
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n487/gitzy841/NFR%202011%20Cooma%20NSW/DSC01185.jpg

Now start looking at radiator and intercooler combo a set of risers and tweaking a little more out of it maybe not sure :confused: it is sooooooo sweet now I could ride it everyday with out hassle. Will have a play and see what happens

Yella
26-11-2011, 11:46 AM
So at NFR I picked up the
The S.O.S Recovery Encouragement award

Took it out for a dyno run yesterday to see what it is putting out now before I mess with it again.
170:rolleyes: was the target for this stage of the build and was pretty close on 169 with 6psi boost .
http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL699/13392715/23869680/399744862.jpg
Still a little fat but all in all happy. Need a new boost gauge that cost more than $10 so I can get some accurate readings this one jumps around so hard to know what the fuck is going on.
Went to ride today and got a fuel leak :(from the dodgy 2nd hand fuel pump :o I had so ordered a new MSD 2225 :cool: should get here during the week.

Yella
28-11-2011, 04:59 AM
Here is a zx10 that ran just after mine different looking power curves :confused:
ZX10 had a best of 156HP and 77ft-lbs torque

28-11-2011, 05:07 AM
Gunna play with the jetting a little and see if I can get the low down power up a little still running very low 10/9.something A/F lower in the low rpm and up the boost a little while playing and run it again

latheboy
28-11-2011, 07:05 AM
Did the Dyno have an AFR meter?
It would be good to check yours against the dyno to make sure your in the ball park and not gonna hurt anything.

Yella
28-11-2011, 07:12 AM
Didn't have it hooked up this time was just quick power run to see what I have. Will have it hooked up on the next run in a couple of weeks to make sure all is good

latheboy
28-11-2011, 07:20 AM
Next time you go to a dyno make sure it's got the AFR up the exhaust. You get false readings without it and if you have a lean spike you never know until its too late.

Chase

Just reading over the thread again mate.. awesome. Having seen it in the flesh (admittedly mostly from the rear waaaaaaay in the distance) the thread hardly does it justice.

Yella
28-11-2011, 04:22 PM
Thanks Chase..........................
Im happy with how it came together but it took ages to get any real progress so the thread is old az and abit haphazard

28-11-2011, 09:19 PM
Yella, I agree with chase, that is one mean little rocket you got there! Job well done and those power readings look impressive!

Yella
05-12-2011, 07:01 AM
It's time to wipe the board clean and start again with a new list. I put this up at the start of the process with a list of stuff I wanted to do as you can see most are done so it is time to start a fresh with a new short list for this bike and maybe a list for the next164

05-12-2011, 01:09 PM
awesome bike ian ...and impressive figures lol ...anyway.......... to the point lol any chance i can throw you some folding/beer/nubile women to come up to mine sometime between xmas and new yr and wizard me wiring on the XS?..ill have a week or so off during that time

Chase
05-12-2011, 01:47 PM
Yeah I think you could be right... Time for a change, so when ur ready to get started I'll come over and remove the 7 for you free of charge so you can get some garage space back :rolleyes:

SWEET Sounds good PM me ya number and we can arrange it

Yella
22-12-2011, 08:48 PM
So put the new fuel pump in and took it for a little ride heading up the street and just touching the edge of the boost a little wee came out I was so happy. On to open road and open it up and the tank tried to break my sternum thought that was odd so open it up and and it came up again pretty savage. Never really did that before was always really smooth as the power came on. the only thing I have changed is to put a little bleeder "T" piece in the waste gate hose so I can up the boost and rejet when I have some spare time over the weekend. The 'T' piece has a fairly small restrictor that seems to slow the waste gate operation and that lets the boost climb a little higher before it opens and holds it at the set boost. With my dodgy gauge on it spikes up to 14psi then bleeds down to 6-7 area ( does the make any sense) Has anyone else see this?
Makes the bike a little more aggressive to ride so yep heaps of fun

mr.zxr
22-12-2011, 09:07 PM
it makes sense. remember the wastegate actuator works on psi(ponds per sqare inch) and if you reduce ID of the hose you reduce the sqaure inchs therfore reducing the force on the acuator. but if the motor is handling it, leave it. like said to you on the phone my 750 with 1.2mm spacer saw over 20psi a couple of times and never missed a beat.

latheboy
22-12-2011, 09:31 PM
I'd keep an eye on your AFR meter if its spiking to 14psi. Rad i hope the motor holds up, then you can just run it at 14 all the time...

It's odd that it spikes so much, do you have the same size pipe from the waste gate to the pick up?

latheboy
23-12-2011, 07:39 AM
I don't remember typing that last post ....

I know i bang on about the AFR's a bit and it's much easier for me with my job, but I just don't want anyone to melt a motor.

Yella
23-12-2011, 01:49 PM
Will be putting the gauge on over the weekend with any luck and seeing what goes on will post up results

ozzy1100
23-12-2011, 03:34 PM
what u will find is not that psi changes with small hole but flow rate will change therefor u will get a spike
presure does not change with pipe size in a sealed system flow yes but makes no dif presing agaisnt a dead end
what might be happening is that the t piece cant flow enough air to fill the volume of the waste gate diap fast enough
sounds funny but you can change pipe size between two piont and have psi and flow remane the same the only thing that changes is verlosity it do my head in some times working out fuild system lol
none of this makes any diff to u fixing because u at the same piont just one of my pet jobs at work lol

02-01-2012, 11:11 AM
So got out today 3 things became apparent
1st when you give it more boost its fun with capital FFFFFPPSSSSHHHHH http://modmyi.com/attachments/forums/iphone-4-new-skins-themes-launches/493071d1293659573-50-off-sale-initsua-z-twilight-hd-sd-big-grin.jpg
2nd I really need to invest in a data logger it's interesting looking at all the gauges with the front wheel trying to get over your head
3rd if you hit the remote start stop button in your pocket with your fat gut as the front wheel comes down things get interesting and you piss a large amount of smoke out the pipe.

Anyway first run as it was with boost spike A/f never got past 11.4 so I was happy and adjusted the bleeder.
First run 3rd gear 10psi front lifted had to back off
Second run same could have held it but trying to read everything decided to try to do it with both wheels on the ground
3rd run this time 4th gear 14psi boost came on front came up but kept at it A/F stayed at 11.4
Idle 14.5
idle to 1/4 12.9ish
1/4 to 1/2 11.8ish
1/2 to WOT 11.4 and holds all the way to rev limiter
Cruise at 110KPH it sits at 12.4ish
As boost comes on it drops down to 10.something I think its 2 or 3 but hard to see

As said I need data logger or dyno time to confirm but looks goods so far hope to book a run on the dyno soon with A/F meter fitted so I can get a graph to post up and I will video the run aswell.

Also heading out to E/C dragway this month to see what it can do I'm gunna run it at stock boost and at 14psi just cause I can

Great work Yella,

Give yourself a big pat on the back ;) An awesome insparational build that will get many people hunting ebay for turbo's i'm sure LOL.
Just hope mine ends up going as good

Keep it up

Sling:Dy

Yella
04-01-2012, 06:36 PM
Thanks Slingy.

Went out for a run today 40degree day figured this would test it out, all was going good until about 5mins from home notice my right leg was wet:confused: bike wasn't running hot but was pushing out some water so kept on going home. Not sure but the clutch seemed to be slipping aswell could have been the the bike was not 100% but will need to look at that aswell
Pulled up at home and water was running out the overflow bottle :mad: anyways put it in the shed let it cool a little and took the cap off fired it up starts and runs sweet but it is pushing water out the radiator looks like I have blown a head gasket into a water jacket :mad::mad::(:confused:. Did a comp test all are even but my snap-on rad tester does not fit the Kawasaki so I will bring one home from work tomorrow and confirm.
The first of the weak links. I want it stay running the higher boost so will need to look at a better head gasket or something to help.
So the fun will begin again. I need one of you fuckers to live closer to help with the heavy lifting last time lifted the motor in on my own nearly killed me.

Time for anealed copper and O rings ?

EXBEN
04-01-2012, 09:59 PM
Yella, are you running an intercooler ? if not I suggest you start looking at fitting one, if you want to keep running that kind of boost reliably, either that or water injection but a cooler would be cheaper. The stock head gasket should be more than sufficent.Maybe use a bit more torque on the head bolts & some copper coat on the gasket.

LKC73
04-01-2012, 10:04 PM
Yella, your a Sydney sider arnt you? If so all you have to do is give me a bell and tee up a time mate. I would be more then happy to help a fellow fighter work on there bike!

Yella
05-01-2012, 06:50 AM
Yep I was thinking about it last night will have to back the boost off back down to standard until I can get the $$$ together for rad/intercooler set up.
Put copper coat on it last time will get it out and check it out bang it back together all good.
Thanks for the offers of help will let ya's know when it is need

Man, it sucks that you had the such success with the extra boost only to have head gasket trouble :(

From what i can make out, its not so much an issue with the gasket but with the extra cylinder pressures lifting the head which then causes the gasket to fail. I'd of thought either more tension on the cylinder bolts as EXBEN said or even better, larger stronger cylinder bolts which would stretch less at the same tension with a standard head gasket would be a better option. I've read that the Busa boys are just using high tensile socket head machine screws for cylinder bolts now a its heaps cheaper than aftermarket ones and in some cases stronger to.


Anyway, mate good luck with sorting it.

Yella
06-01-2012, 08:32 PM
Motor out, head off, checked, cleaned, new gasket, copper coat, head back on, rest. Motor back in tomorrow and test ride

Bloody hell Ian, your not there to fuck spiders are you!! Good news mate, and like I said, yell out if you need help.

Booster
07-01-2012, 06:59 AM
What size are the std head bolts /studs, and what tension is usual
the headgasket problem could either be from outright cyl pressures or more likely at 14 psi no intercooler that it was pinging lightly and if the head was held on better then the pistons are the next weakest link ...

need to solve the problem and not just not the symptoms

Seen the water/air intercooler KAWI is building on Psycobike , blow thru carb on a zx9 , very nice

Yella
07-01-2012, 08:32 AM
Yep that the next step will run lower boost until the $$$$ are found

Yella
07-01-2012, 10:50 AM
Head bolts are 10mm and 44nm from memory will check again shortly

Yella
07-01-2012, 03:15 PM
All back in and running at boring boost :( its back to being a sweet friendly arming pulling ride instead of the screaming, angry, tear your arms off ride it was last week until it went pop. really need to start saving for/building an intercooler.

Thanks to Pav for coming down and helping out made it a fuck load easier to get done.






I wonder how much boost I can run with out it going pop??????????

BANDITROD
07-01-2012, 03:30 PM
lol just keep boosting it up a little at a time till it happens again mate ...

Yella
07-01-2012, 06:58 PM
Also did this today. it was giving me the shits everytime I needed to remove my wheel with the speedo wire being in the way so
http://www.allspectrum.com/store/images/ca007.jpg and
http://media2.rsdelivers.cataloguesolutions.com/LargeProductImages/R329972-01.jpg
total of a $1.30 at Jaycar. I cut the sensor wire and fitted this just near the brake line guide, should make Life easier and seems to work sweet so far see how it hold up long term 696697698699700

Yella
08-01-2012, 04:03 PM
Question for the people who know.
If I put a standard 't' piece ( with out the restriction in it) to reduce the boost spike what boost could I safely run without an intercooler?
And
When the intercooler is fitted what do you think the safe limit will be?

man you work fast. in the time since you picked up that boost guage i've managed to do 2 A/F ration data loggging rides. you've blown a motor, fitted a boost guage, done some wiring, rebuilt the top end and got it going again. do you sleep??

I used to run a Tee , with a 64 holley jet in the supply side , outlet to the wastegate
and 3rd side to a lpg soenoid
with a blank plug on its outlet drilled with the smallest drill in my set
then redid the pass switch to power the solenoid at will

back then the std comp gix 750 wastegate was set to 6psi and the pass switch venting pressure gave me 10 , eventually 10 burnt a piston and that started the rot ;)

Std head bolts can usually be pulled down a little more than spec, 3-5 ft lbs can make all the difference
busa bolts are 10mm and can go to 40 , HD replacement studs are 10mm and are recommended at 60ft/lbs
i use busa studs in the 750, just need some adapting spacers ,

So got out and raced
put the 7 on the scale 232kg (fark me that heavy) + me so 334kg and a best best of 11.1 for the night.
Gunna work on it a bit having trouble getting off the line either bog down or wheelie to half+ track. More to come

Good one mate. Looks impressive if nothing else.
My 11 is 220 kg with a few liters in the tank. And that's a dirty old oil cooled lump

What mph were you getting

128mhp
Thinking of going back to stock on the front sprocket.
current is -1 +2

I think it may help off the line and more pull up top maybe sort of????

when we went to the xmas drags mine was running taller gearing than standard. i was only clicking 4th as i was going over the line. mine was real easy to get off the line. maybe cause of the gearing and only 6psi in first gear. didn't wheel stand or spin just went. only managed a 10.83 @133mph. a lot more left in it. getting it off the line is the challenge. as you are finding out.

Yella: I'd try that stock front sprocket. When are you going out next?

Yella

The Sunday test and tune was with the standard front sprocket :D still didn't help :confused:
A bit better at 11.0 but still needs sand bags to keep the front down :D

Yes my arse had something to do with it also 1 missing bolt let the tail move until the metal just gave up but no fear I will get something together for AFR even if I just bolt the light and cdi to whats left of the subframe and wrap it in shrink wrap to keep dry ;)
