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



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 arty-smiley:arty-smiley:arty-smiley: managed to get some heat into the tyres


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

[Yella]

So at NFR I picked up the
The S.O.S Recovery Encouragement award



So I headed out and got the first of the items to be purchase with the prize




A little bit of work and these will be tits thanks JIM


I also picked up

Well done Yella and well done to Kev and Jimmy for putting up the prizes/trophies

Took it out for a dyno run yesterday to see what it is putting out now before I mess with it again.
170 was the target for this stage of the build and was pretty close on 169 with 6psi boost .

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 I had so ordered a new MSD 2225 should get here during the week.

[Yella]

Here is a zx10 that ran just after mine different looking power curves
ZX10 had a best of 156HP and 77ft-lbs torque

[Yella]

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]

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]

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]

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.

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]

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

[LKC73]

Yella, I agree with chase, that is one mean little rocket you got there! Job well done and those power readings look impressive!

[Yella]

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 next

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]

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

Tempting can I get back to you on that

[mr.zxr]

i've got a autometer liquid filled vac /boost guage. 2.25inch i think. $50 if you want it.

[Yella]

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

[Yella]

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
