GSXR1000 - Turbo Time ( Now has pic's)

[Gsxar]

Yep you read right!! :D

The 2005 Gsxr1000 has gone to visit uuunkie Booster (Greg) the turbo extraordinaire to get the TREATMENT.

To fill you in, I brought the bike ( As a write off) Before I had actually got it back on the road & after a few drinks ;) a conversation with Booster & I woke up the next morning & said ummm did I really buy a turbo [:0] For the last years we had kinda mucked around with Greg saying you buy a 1000 & I'll turbo it - so the seed had been there a while......
Time was passing & Greg was very keen - I might have been having some doubts by then lol
So down we went to visit Greg & Marg (Who gave us wonderful hospitality & put up with the weirdness that went along with our birthday road trip [:p])
So the bikes been down visiting uunkie Booster, who has been sending me pic's and trying to talk me through understanding it all.
If it needs repeating Greg you are a LEGEND & a damn nice bloke!!!;)
So all the credit and my huge thanks go to Greg for all his hard work & Marg for putting up with it all:D


This is where Booster steps in to answer all technical questions ;)Whilst I listen closely:D
All comments like how well I will flip it and be squiiishhhhhed!! heard them 27 zillion times off everyone already ;)[:p]


This is what is looked like when back on the road ( still gonna be naked for the moment anyway)

[Gix11]

Jesus Jo! 160hp not enough? You're the maddest chick we know, and we love it!

[Fight_fan]

HaHa Seems all the cool kids in Vic are doin it! ;) Awesome stuff JoJo!

[Gsxar]

The 1100 has been about learning about bikes & 'trying'to make my own mods ect, but has never had any thing done to the engine. I always said next project would be more about the engine - So why not drive right in with a turbo [:p]

The covers are not mine, just to get an idea if they would look good, and I think I like them

[thepj]

looks like it'll be weapon.

[BANDITROD]

looking good jojo you are gunna have a blast on it mate and for those trying to talk you out of it ...they are just jealous ...it will only go as fast as you twist the throttle mate

[Booster]

Phone pics come out better than i would have thought... should have had a bit of a tidy up around the bike first ;)

short light bike as the 1k is i think we have a combo that will be fun and not too hectic ,
bike is running now and just tidying up a few things before it hits the dyno , then it all comes apart for coating
No add on ecu or piggyback , all being done by reflashing the std ecu

What are they off? They look fucken sweet, wouldn't mind putting a pair on my K5 fighter.

[Gsxar]

Covers are from a Bking, It might hopefully get a Bking swing arm to by the sounds of it ;):D

[2ndclasscitizen]

Sharky has got a Busa one for sale.

[Flukyluke]

I love it, more is always better... :-)

[thepj]

only thing i'm wondering havent really thought about it much or really had much to do with turbo bikes, i've riden a gsxr1000 like twice i know isnt much but fuck they feel like there gonna throw you off the back when ya smash the throttle. do ya set the turbo up and like power curve a certain way or ya just have to be gentle on the throttle when ya take off?

[BANDITROD]

after seeing turbo bikes run mate they tend to just spin up for about 400 to 500 metres and then get traction .......they fucking rock

[LX8VD69]

lol should be an interesting ride :-)


cheers adam

[Gsxar]

The busa swing arm was the same length as the 1 that's in it., so might end up just getting extensions. Hmm excited or scared I go from 1 to the other ;)
it's gonna b a 2 stage, wired into the flasher switch..... Long as I don't hit it n end up in the side of the supermarket :D[:p]

[exposuredesigns]

Awesome work once again Greg! You are the turbo king mate! Mine is still going strong, and will be putting in the 2 stage boost that Gsxar speaks of here. It is just too hard to ride with the high boost in the low gears...

Keep up the good work.

[Gsxar]

I'm seriously stunned! stunned I say :D:D In fact I have had to come home, have a drink & think it all[:p] & still cant quite believe it.
Greg rings me this afternoon to say the bikes been on the dyno today, so I'm excited already & never have really thought about HP numbers it would have until today.........
Greg says yeah all went good put it on the 1st time & got 187 ( 4 p boost) - at which I must say I was already wayyyy excited about,
Plays with some things winds it up a bit and gets 260 OMFG! you must excuse my excitement [:p] considering I only ever meant this to be an every day bike to give my fighter girl a rest.
Last heard he was heading out for a test ride:D

[BANDITROD]

holy fuck thats an awsome result jojo i cant wait to see that in action

[Fight_fan]

JEEEEZUS! Thats unreal! Have to agree... I wanna see thing running too!

[Iceman]

I hope he put a muffler on it, coz it was fuck'n loud the other day running straight out.

[RED ZX]

Shit yeah thats a great result. Anymore details on the build? ie turbo used and and internal work done etc?

VIDS ARE A MUST!!!

[Booster]

Ride was very interesting to say the least... but then they are when you forget to put the wastagate line back on after removing the data lines and hose from the dyno
lifted hard in third, and fourth, and combo mono burnout in top , i'm thinking this is a lot of power for 4 psi...looked at the gauge while rolling on in top and it saw 20 psi ..very quickly .. AAAhhh no wastegate, and a good thing i'm using real good fuel when i dyno.. put the hose back on and its everything it was supposed to be, good power in a very usable package with the option of turning it up anytime.

Velocity stg 1 turbo system , there turbo is a big exhaust wheel gt28 similar to the gtir nissan turbo ,reflashed ecu for mapping fuel and ign and reset rpm limits,engine is basicly std but for a .071" headgasket and APE headstuds , and cams from a earlier 1k , (bit less duration and lift is more friendly on the decompressed motor )

[Gix11]

Damn that sounds like a toy-and-a-half!

[Watto]

you guys make it sound so easy :D:D

[Gsxar]

As lots of you know from facebook[:0] The 1000 has come home from Greg's last week Turbo'd & sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet as!!!
I'm loving it and cant thank Greg enough for all his hard work, I will post some pics when my computer feels like working to resize them.
Shall be riding it to AFR;):D

[Redmohawk]

Got to love the sound of an open turbo screaming at 150,000 rpm in anger! Hmmm I miss the drag car !

[Gsxar]

Not the best photo's, but will give those that haven't seen it an idea.
Now to make it look as good as it goes.

Getting some black carbon parts made ( guard should be back 2mora night) & an over flow bottle is 2mora mornings project when the welder comes to visit :D[:p]

Trying to design radiator shrouds/covers and paint scheme at the moment if anyone has any ideas

[latheboy]

How about some specs on the tune... HP? torque? etc etc

[Booster]

Finally fixed my bloody anti virus problem, auto upgrade changed all my settings and couldn't log in or reply anywhere ,
Ivan, 4 psi gave 187 hp and 12 ran to 260hp , have to wake up my laptop to get more specific than that, if i can i will try to screen save and post the figures

[Gsxar]

Yep thats what I was gonna post ;)[:0]
I'm learning more about it everyday :D:D

Some more pic's. Including the new overflow bottle that a friend knocked up for me the other day.

[dingo]

thats a sweet ride you got there , all these turbo builds are starting to
grow that seed planted in my head.

[Booster]

Going to be another soon, sold my old faithful roadbike and buying a later busa , nearly went b-king but couldn't beat the deal i'm getting .. but to tell the truth a 1k like Jo's would have been very tempting after how well mannered it is

[Gsxar]

Ace Booster, hmm we better get into that veranda ;) Can't wait to see what you end up doing this time :D

[rock hard]

thats Awesome work boys,the bike looks MEAN best get some spare undies as i ruined a few pairs on Rockets Turbo,im sure greg that the power delivery of the gsxr1000 will be a BIG but somewhat civilised rush,again awesome work mate..
