Yella's ZX7 project

Put in some new plugs before you start it again and keep an eye on them for det sign and lean.

Get an AFR metre of some sort too.

Your better off being rich than lean....

My first turbo bike i tuned with a jaycar narrow band o2 sensor and led display, on boost it had to read rich but not be bogging down and it was fine ...if it read normal or lean it was too lean , and black smoke or bogging down was too rich ,

I have heard alot that dj or factory pro needles needles are no good for turbo.

What Ivan said. You really need to know what the afr is doing before you ride it cause it will go bad before you know it if it hasn't already

I have heard the same about the needles. Will probably just get Kawasaki jets in the size I need. I am still going to run 2 different sizes as per factory

I was thinking of running the CR9EK plugs instead of the standard CR9E ( The K is the dual electrode) anyone tried this any advantage?

Will be getting hold of an AFR gauge soon hope to have it before I bolt it all back in

You can fine tune needles with a bit of fine wet/dry, crc and a drill

Ok so I ened up ordering bits from Part Shark as it worked out a heap cheaper after speaking witha couple of local shops. All bits arrived super quick so happy as. Went out ans spoke to the water jet fella and he is cutting a base spacer for me for $40 figured I can't go wrong :)also spoken to him about cutting a new air box base plate out of alloy. It will make life easier and seal better so he is making for me aswell. Once the motor gets a paint and put back in I will makea in plenum to bolt to it with intercooler and start again with the tune ad set up.

$40 for the base gasket is a bargain mate. i'll look forward to seeing this bike up and running. if you're anything like me, you won't sleep properly until it is.

it's gone quiet!! where are you up to?

Waiting on parts and time hope to get back to it this week

Thinking of painting the engine black while it is out. What do you guy's think?
What is te best paint to use?

2 pack solid i can do it for you depends how keen you are i have paint otherwise vht engine paint can also paint bits body colour if you want to just yell out if you need em done.

I purchased 2 cheap (read really cheap) digital guages from egay 1 boost and 1 oil pressure that i will use for fuel pressure. They arrived a while back the boost gauge worked sweet but the oil gauge did not read correct the display was faulty. Anyway sent them a message an after a bit of back and forth they sent me a new gauge tested today all seems good.So I got the old gauge and wired it up again still the same so i gave it a bit of the knock on the bench and fuck me it works. So I gave it a couple of good belts and it is still working as good as the new one :D now I have 2 sweet.

Still waiting for bits.............................................. ............... this is killing me

fitted the new front guard from the earlier 7 ( thanks PAV) while I waited now just need to get it back to Pav for paint along with the rest of the bits as I think a slight color change is gunna happen, but dont worry it's still going to be yellow ( haters gunna hate ) just a bit different to now:D:D

cool. i'd like one of those water cutters in the garage.

guard looks like it was meant to be there mate now get it running and drop off the bodywork and ill sort it out.

Heaps going on just not alot on the bike hope to get back into it tomorrow. Hugger arrived and some other bits so will get some pic's tomorrow and post up. Need to pull the finger out
