Hi all,
I am seriously contemplating doing a semi DIY turbo kit for my 2004 model Z1000.
As I am heavily involved in modifying turbo Subarus, I can get my hands on tonnes of performance bits & custom parts relatively cheaply...
I'm looking for some advice on what used turbos to look for and any other little things I may not have thought about.
As my bike is more of a street bike (muscle-ish bike), it already runs lower compression compared to the supersport roadbikes (CBR1000, R1, GSXR1000's...). I don't want to intercool, to simply keep it... simple!
I would be looking for something that has an internal wastegate spring pressure around 7psi.
I already have a computer (PC3 USB) and a Muzzy exhaust (would sell the headers & use the can).
I would need to get an external fuel pump (what type?), custom header, small dump pipe a small BOV, oil feed lines (info required), bigger injectors (info required) & a custom intake plenum (the expensive bit - info reqd).
Any advice or help would be wonderful!
Cheers.
Daz.
