connected the ram air to the turbo today, cool clean air
Looks good Greg. All fit under the fairing ok?

go on son ....greg'im faster than burt'watters ..keep us posted ..and remeber no pics and i didnt happen we want helmet cam ...lol
Yeh helmet cam would be great.
Are you shedding any weight personally for this?
Clint it fits fine under the fairing, wheel clearance and suspension movement is more an issue, figure if the suspension is bottomed out and i'm at full lock i'm already buggered
I'll have to find somewhere in the fairing to embed a camera,
If anyone saw 60 mins a couple of years ago when they did the salt lakes coverage of the Silverton Hotel bike and a bit on some cars, there was a brief helmet cam shot, that was me, bloody camera gave me head wobbles and tried to rip the helmet off my head, i was thinking at the time they will only use this footage if i make it good , so i made it good... but very much on the edge of control...
how have i missed this???!!!
good luck mate! if you need any brackets figured out so you can cut heaps of dead wieght out of stuff let me know
Rev the fucker!!!!!
Actually i will be adding weight, probably around 50 kg, swingarm will be full of lead shot (35kg) and some divers weights probably will make up the rest , depends what i can find localy in San francisco
This is my busa from 05 showing some of the the extra weight
Thats well wicked Greg,what time frame do you have from when you get to the US to fit the pistons ,turbo, fairings etc and then onto the salt lakes? And where do you do the build? Motel room? Trailer Park? Side of the road?Someones shed?Cheers.Ken.
Arrive sunday 24th midday and race 2nd Sept , Friend over there has offered a couple of rooms in his house , some shed space and tow vehicles.i'm thinking when its all done i will leave the bike with him till next year and he can race it if he wants till his landspeed bike is finished (a 100CI turbo buell)
Doesn't seem like 20 days since the last update
If you missed the dyno Vic thread, the clutch gave up at 18 psi peak torque 9600 rpm and best run (first ) at 190hp .
Lots of time spent on clutch and engine managers , now logged a run (on a longer wheelbase so its not so hectic) at 27 psi boost to 13500 rpm, clutch holding better than the drag slick, air fuel steady at 11.3-11.5 (just where i want it) 98% duty cycle on the injectors..
Figure thats it for the tune.[8D]
Boxing the turbo kit etc up tomorow and sending it Monday
Not long now... Going to get an internet capable "cell" (learning the lingo ) to keep in contact while i'm there
If anyone is not totally bored with my ramblings updates will be available of records and interesting happenings on http://www.landracing.com/ of the bike only meet 2-7 sept and World of speed 17-20 Sept and maybe even something from the El Mirage dirt drylake n Sept 14 ..

Thanks Guys
I just hope it holds together for long enough to do 2 runs flat out, down to qualify and back to set a record..
Actually records are not that important to me , i'll build for it and ride for it but its more important to me to just be there, going fast and having fun ..
best of luck greg ...dont blow it up ...
