Hi all
quick update bikes was on the backburner for a while no funds new job and major doggy surgery was going to sell it off but got talked out of it bill called me a few choice names and spouting stuff like you know how much time ive spent on that you kent or something like that
and busa dave just said we will sort it no dramas
this was my turbo rebuild £1000 worth of stiching ouch!!!!
bill finishing up the mapping when i sort the oil return on the turbo and fit a one way check valve as its to low
now sorted just waiting for the check valve then i can whip off the turbo and get the oil seals done
when we got the bike home the bike would.nt fire up changed the battery still no joy
bikes was running rich so checked fuel pressure electrics bill done a sterling job changed the fuel lines as they needed re-routing all good
pulled the air filter off that wasent helping fucked so needs replacing
rigged up the laptop and error was bad tooth pattern talked to sbd who were brilliant sent them the map and he emailed me back with a tweeked map all in 10 mins loaded it back on
bike starts first time every time
doing some detail stuff on it over the next couple of months keep you posted
thought it was time to update
first up say hello to henry the thug a white boxer black eye and a mohawk will never replace spart but we had this gap which just had to be filled
turbo got sorted new seals which were shot and all cleaned up and balanced
whilst i was at it repainted the engine block and sorted out that crap radiator
redone the clocks with a decent piece of carbon fiber
got some more space in the engine bay and changed the standard engine breather with a low profile unit loads of room now
so with that lot done bike was sent off to tim who mapped the bike problem we had was that the bike was running really rich and on power felt like we had a fueling problem all was checked that we could check busa dave went through it with a fine toothcombe all was good so when tim got it within 5 mins on the dyno sussed the prob tps was wired wrong that sorted bike was mapped and running lovely 230bhp low boost
still got to map high boost but we need to rewire that part as tim wasent happy with the set up so thats a job for him after summer
so all thats left for me to do noz bottle powdercoated being done this week new air filter ordered brackets for lights being done this week new lock up clutch on order due next two weeks
Looking great mate! I've got a white boxer too, one brindle ear, she's nuts but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Very nice mate. Will it be at Warwick for FFUK?
whens that gix
FFUK is on Sunday the 16th of June Spart. I'd like to see the Busa up there if ya can make it. I'll be up there with the dyno truck and some of the bikes that didn't make it to Brent Cross last year. I've just had a cracking day at Brands Hatch for the opening round of BSB, good ride there and back, excellent view from the hospitality box overlooking the start line, really nice lunch laid on, and the ZRX1000R ran faultlessly there and back although it did drink fuel rather heavily as Mart and I ragged the bikes mercilessly for almost 300 miles. My neck is sore as fuck now and I'm knackered, the windblast on a naked bike at over 150mph is pretty severe. I'm off to bed for a much needed kip.
Yep, what Bill said.
will try to book it off work may need to crash in the dyno van bill@
It's only on the Sunday Spart not the Saturday.
lock up fitted just needs the mot now and ready to play
Looking good bud, once it's MOT'd have a ride down to see me with it, and I'll finish off the hi/lo boost wiring for you.
took out the bike over the weekend found that on tickover it was hunting and what sounded like an air leak
so gave mr bruno a shout had a good look around and found no leaks from the turbo system but what was concerning was throttle body no4 was lifting
first thoughts bad spark ruled that out then coil breakdown again ruled out as we went through every thing i spoted a spark from the inside of the engine bay dave then investigated and spoted the vapour coming out of the bottom of the throttle body checked the rubbers all fine so somehow i had a hole in the throttle body
cut a long story short we went looking for a second hand set just so happened dave had a spare set of busa throttle bodys in his garage as you do
the scary bit was what we found
1.the hole for the injectors were not drilled out correctly every single hole had damage which someone had sealed with sealent on one side
and on the other the had used chemical metal to seal and then repainted them
2. throttle body four was resembling a combustion chamber
3.even the boots mounting to the engine were silocined it looks like someone tried everything to stop any leaks couldent have been much worse just lucky we caught it in time
result
a nice new pair we replaced the boots all the lines the injector holes were already properly drilled out bike started first time all balanced no air leaks not hunting off the road for 24hours many thanks dave
fucking hell you were lucky to find that when you did mate
