Good call Samiam. You are smarter and more observant than I.
Those curves are stellar, very linear. Better than stock. |

Hey Eric, welcome to the badweb!
I had thought that you were already over here.
I figured you would get some great feedback on your endeavors from the badweb... we love mods that make for a better, faster, more powerful buell. |

Sweatmark- I am running 100% distilled water and inject it about 8" before the throttle body. The aquamist set up works great and I think it really is the best option for trying to cool the intake air on the XBs. There really is no room for an intercooler and water injection is more efficient anyways. The two gauges I have on the handlebar crossbrace are vac/boost and oil temp. I was thinking about running an EGT but readings from both the front and rear would be the best set up and I have not found a good gauge for two readings.
Cronan- The turbo setup is my own design. I have been working on it for about 6 months now. The motor is completely stock internally and the other modifications include cosmetic changes such as handlebars, rear-sets, wheels, engine covers, and lighting.
Pupu- The aluminum box under the tank cover is the reservoir for the water injection. It holds 1/2 gal. and is enough water to last about 5 stops at the gas station, of course depending on how hard you ride the bike!! |

Eric- How about aircraft EGT gauge? Seems appropriate for a bike that flies.

Considered the Aquamist myself for a car blower installation, for which intercooling (water/air) was not feasible. What MAP do you have set as trigger point for injection? |

What sort of money are you thinking of charging for the kit? Will it include a remapped ECU? Can the exhaust be re-routed to exit underneath the bike?
That is simply AWESOME. Looks good too.
How is the turbo lag? I've ridden a turbo bike before, and it was pretty calm below 4000, but when it hit 4000rpm, it took off like a scalded dog. Very hard to ride in the twisties because of the way the turbo spooled up. Of course, it was an old Kawasaki GPz 750 Turbo circa 1985. But with 125rwhp, it was quick! |

How are you getting the exhaust gases into that turbo? I would think putting it on the other side pulling from the headers would be easier. |
