Hey Jim how much boost you gonna run? are you gonna intercool it? My expierience on my car is with a nitrous intercooler spray, it is worth about 20 hp |

Damn Jim, That is a really nice job! The airbox looks top notch. Nice volume! Did they use the stock header and cut it apart? I'd love to see a closer picture of the exhaust manifold. Neat stuff! Brad |

UPDATE! Just picked up my chassis from the same fabricator who did the Yammie,it came out nice. Kinda the antithesis of a Buell now----raked the frame 6 degrees and stretched the swingarm 7 inches.No more turns,just stable straightline performance.Will post pics tomorrow. Engine should be back this week so I can start putting things together.Then back to fabber to hang turbo,etc. |

Is that a pair of STD XR-style heads? And cast iron cylinders? (Message edited by moxnix on May 24, 2007) |

Nope. R&R billet heads,standard exhaust layout. Proformance base bolt cast cylinders.

Finally some more parts done--check out the size of this intake an injectors. The guy at HP Inc that did the set-up told me that these were the biggest injectors he had ever seen in a bike.

Looking good, Jim! Are you going to run the stock oil tank? I think you're going to be cleaning a bunch of salt off that hair dryer... rt |

Jim, both bikes look great. Will you be doing any of the USFRA meets early in the summer or just the SCTA speedweek? I would like, very much, to see you run this summer as I have not been doing speed trials since I ran my turboed BMW quite a while ago. It never leaves the blood though. Good job my friend and I hope to see you this summer sometime. Bob |
