[MDM]

I'm really liking the way that this build is going - keep up the good work Surt!

[Surt]

thanks lots for the feedback mates, really appreciate!
well i dont like everything about the bike, the oil coolers placement to be exact
so i decided to consult to Dave Dunlop from fastbyme turbo systems concerning the needed size and some other stuff
heres it:

"Surt Rafrrirr
hi Dave what size oil coolers do you use on your turbo charged b12s? my 14&15 row coolers are a wee bit overkill?

Dave Dunlop
I use a 16 row deep on et with b12 motors And just standard 19 row on Gsxr

Surt Rafrrirr
thanks heaps for reply mate how about piistons and con rods?

Dave Dunlop
Pistons ... If u can afford proper je or weisco , ,mtc Or budget used busa ... Rods dependants on what u plan

Surt Rafrrirr
yup i know about the wiseco and carrillo, i wonder how much boost a stock setup woud endure, from you experience?

Dave Dunlop
I've run 10psi on medium sized turbo chargers ... Reliable and over 40 thousand miles

Surt Rafrrirr
i see. i put on a bigger chinese t4/t5, intercooled and megasquirt. so the aim is to have a huge potential and not to blow up the engine before i sell the bike lol. then i have another project on a wait list which is just a mid size turbo and cv carb setup, thanks heaps for replies mate! sorry for disturbance, atm im on a sickie and have no business to do but bothering people haha

Dave Dunlop
For a start if it's a t4/5 by the time that spools up it will destroy the motor ..... What engine ???????

Surt Rafrrirr
b12 stock

Dave Dunlop
With a t4/5 ??

Surt Rafrrirr
yup thats what i was advised, i was into smaller turbos

Dave Dunlop
Well I can tell u right now that's far too large .... U will break that motor

Surt Rafrrirr

sorry just checked up, its a t03\t04 http://www.ebay.com/itm/270926439363...84.m1423.l2649

Dave Dunlop
That makes better sence 225 ish at 7 psi

Surt Rafrrirr
yeah cool!"

therefore, i leave just a 15 row cooler which is gunna move upstairs to its original place under the neck, the 2nd one and awesomely awesome mounts r moving to the shelf.
the move will let me to lower the bike as i planned from the beginning

[Surt]

yesterday receved 16\42t sprockets (hopefully i aint gunna fuck up with the ratio) and the braided hose cutter, well it works!

[Surt]

the tanks finished just wondering how to tidy up the seams, any thoughts?
taken more than a year, the tanks looking simple and flattish but in fact it has pretty complex shape, i had to make side panels from 3 pieces. but after all ive made what i wanted and bloody pleased with the result

[Surt]

the tank weighs 3.100kg vs 5.500kg of a stock one!
gotta measure its volume yet





another projects down my arse, living in hell!

[Gix11]

Have you considered leaving the seams on there and making them a feature as opposed to hiding them? Just a thought. Maybe you could use the theme throughout the bike? Kind of "Franken-bike" style.

[ozzy1100]

i still think he should leave this bike raw

Si where the Fck is the Like button??????

[Surt]

thanks heaps berserk, come forth with your harris mate!

yip Si, i considered that but just because im a lazy cunt and hate finishing things making them look perfect, but i'd also stay away of a rat bike look to kick arse them bike manufacturers so the bike must look as factory as i can make it, thanks for your comments that helped me to come to the conclusion hehe

now i wonder how to get an original grey colur of ally after the tank is tidied up? without painting it, naturally?

[slingy88]

After you clean the tank up, get it blasted. This will give it an even colour all over, but can be hard to clean. Might still need clear lacquer.
Oh, and looking bloody great Surt.

[Redmohawk]

+1 for a light sandblast , gives a nice matt finish and hides the welds a little without having to file them back. If you file finish first the welds will vanish. Then a clear coat over the top to keep it clean (finding a clear that wont yellow over time on Ali is tricky though)

[The Phantom]

The clear to use is Nyalic (aka EverBrite). I have been using it for years, it's pricey but absolutely the ducks guts.

- won't yellow
- self levelling
- clean up with metho
- UV inhibitors
- self blending (just spray on any scratches and it will blend to the existing coat!)
- indefinite shelf life

I am still using the last spraypack I bought in 2006... it was $55 then, as I said it's not cheap, but it is worth the money...
