Latheboy's toy - GSXR750 Turbo fuckun

[Deano]

I have one of those ca18 turbos here. Came off my bike before I went to the gt28r

They are in the t25 frame (only a circlip holding the comp cover on) and have the 3 bolt outlet where Ivan's is the 2 bolt outlet in a t28 frame ( should have 4 or 5 bolts holding the comp cover on).

I think that's how it works anyway

[latheboy]

Yup it's a T28 and it has 6 bolts for the comp cover and same for zaust side.

It's the best daily bike ever, but seeing as i've been riding it i cant call it a streetfighter anymore

[Deano]

Sounds like you have a commuter bike now

The little t28 like yours Ivan was often part of a pair on a twin turbo setup
they were not known for reliability when turned up in there std fitment, but if not pushed they last a long time, and spool real fast with super light ceramic exhaust side

[ozzy1100]

all the ceramic exh factory turbos dont like over 1 bar boost (14.7psi) from what have been told over the yrs is that tubine
is sort of guled and pressed onto the shaft and have a habit of spining of with the extra temp at over a bar. this btw is just rule of tumb and just what i have been told over the yrs.

i have heard the same lynton

[latheboy]

New headlights, brackets are rough as bro but it gets them mounted were I want them for the moment.
I'll be remaking them with a cover or the top.

[xa-mont]

that's a cool different approach. how is that for legality?

I'de probably want both for low/high though so that you don't have a huge black spot on the opposite side of the low beam.

[latheboy]

how is that for legality?

Yes.

I haven't had it out in the dark yet, but anything is better than shitty downlights

[kiwi kdx]

I love this thing!!!!
Lights look awesome there mate.

[hooligan]

the lights look fucking cool, and so does smiley the psychotic button.

[hyofighter]

thumbs up for the lights , the whole out side the box thing and that

[BANDITROD]

thats cool ivan you fag

[El_Hefty]

yep original is good, roadworthy? I guess depends on who certs it?

[80s freak]

Well there goes that idea I've had in my head for ages. It looks as good as I thought it would. As far as roadworthy, technically it wouldn't pass because the light is obstructed from view on the opposite side.
but I doubt you'd get pinged for it.

[latheboy]

Gibbo said the other day about the roady issue, i might mount one of the light up with the brackets the other way so the lights are more forward.

I need the Smiley, it tells me to do bad things

[Tony Nitrous]

Great thread.
Great build.
Excellent.
Love it.

[drewboy]

The headlights do look great there, very original. Instead of moving them forward, maybe a low beam on each side, and a highbeam in the middle would work. Could maybe squeeze the highbeam projector under the bottom triple clamp?? Nice work so far!

[latheboy]

No, no lights in the middle.
I've wanted to run a race plate for ages for the nice clean look infront of the froks.

The lights are off a fully sick madass sach thingy and have the magic E mark which is a first for my bike

Didn't move the lights i got drunk instead, got to have a think about the possition froward or back.

Thanks guys, I build what I want and try to be different

[Yella]

Love the race plate look.
