Hello to all!! My name is Eric Ziegler and I have a 2005 XB12Scg. I have owned it since it since it was new and love how it rides. I was in an accident when a old lady made a left turn in front of me and I t-boned her!! After that I fixed the bike and myself and started to modify it. Now the bike has lots of power and it really unique!!    | ||

Welcome aboard. Your bike kicks ass, that thing must be a beast to ride. I'm sure you will gets lots of questions. | ||
| Diablobrian |
Welcome! I'd swear I've seen pics of your bike here on BadWeB before. Looks great! | ||
| Hogs |
NEat, So tell me how hot does your left leg area get, And I guess shes pretty quiet,not the reg. Buell note?? If I may ask what do you run for a fuel system/ECM ???? | ||
| Djkaplan |
Wow... that's an incredibly neat installation. Who did it? | ||
| Jimduncan69 |
Eric the bike looks great very nice job on the installs. what kind of pony's dose she make ? i bet she hauls a$$. oh ya welcome to the board! Brian, i think i have seen pics of this bike on badweb before as well. | ||
| Diablobrian |
I just caught the use of the right scoop on your bike. One of the details that gives away how much attention to detail there was in building this bike. Quiet!?!? that's got to be a joke right Hogs? That's a straight pipe through a turbo. | ||
| Tommy_k |
Awesome job man. I pm'd you. TK | ||

Quiet!?!? that's got to be a joke right Hogs? That's a straight pipe through a turbo. The RPM of the Turbo is such that at higher speed it "Clips" the air, thus muting the exhaust note. | ||
| Diablobrian |
I understand that, but if the turbo spools up to speed at lower revs it will run out of breath on the top end. Normally the quieting effect doesn't become evident until the bike comes on the boost. So... around town it will be anything but quiet. Granted, it certainly won't sound anything like the Buell factory muffler, or race pipe  | ||

Probably sounds like a herd of Cape Buffalo all farting in unison! | ||

http://s65.photobucket.com/albums/h208/StevelKnivel/?action=view¤t=Streetf ighterPerformanceInc.flv Here is how it sounds..this is one of the dyno runs from the other night. The dyno charts are posted there as well as on the Knowledge board... | ||
| Ericz |
To answer the other questions: The exhaust by the left leg is not so bad. It feels like warm laundry. The turbo quiets much of the exhaust noise. It sound healthy but is not too loud. Check out the dyno run video. I use the stock ECU and tuned it with the Direct link software. I am running a boost referenced external fuel pressure reg. 115hp and 90ft/lbs was seen on the first dyno night. Best of all, I built it, all of it!!! | ||
| Mobuellin |
Wow dude, that kicks a$$. I can't believe how fast the speedo needle swept over to 135. | ||
| Hogs |
Thats Great news...! Always GooD to get New Sponsors here... Thanks I`ll stay Non Turbo... | ||

*faints* | ||
| Hogs |
Just the same...Theres a hell of a lot of tricked out stuff , Nice Ride...!!! | ||
| Metalstorm |
That's just sick! And it's very rare indeed that I use the word "sick" in a positive way. That is just too cool. Bravo!  | ||
| Roc |
How much boost? Very cool, but it seems like there should be more power. | ||
| Cochise |
Wow, I'll even spell it backwards...wow p.m. sent | ||
| Vonsliek |
5#'s boost according to the video. neat for the strip .. shyte for the track nice to know tho. | ||
| M1combat |
Very nice. How much bbost can you run at a 10:1 compression ratio? I've looked into a Rotrex Super charger but not turbos... | ||
| Pwnzor |
that bike gets my vote for the Mad Max Awards! Sweet Frickin Mod Dude  | ||
| Sgthigg |
Just saw the video clip. \Dude that bad a$$.  (Message edited by sgthigg on June 11, 2006) | ||

Awesome. I'd hate to think about what my insurance would be like though if I told them I had a turbo charged Buell. | ||
| Stou |
Ericz, I really like the vid of the dyno run. Those new pictures of your bike are really nice. Are you planing to put some black wheels on the beast? Welcome to Badweb! | ||
| Ericz |
Thanks for all the compliments everyone!! Vonsliek- why do you say it is no good for the track? It delivers power as predictable as the N/A configuration and is just as equally balanced weight wise. It didnt change the handling a bit, just upped the power output!! Stou- I have thought about the black wheels but just put the silver wheels on so it might be a bit before I change them up. Roc- You would think there should be a bit more power but, even though it is turbocharged now, the internals of the motor are stock. If I made changes to the motor that compensated for the turbocharger a little better there would be more power seen at 5psi. My goal was to keep the motor stock inside and crank it up to a safe level. I think that with more time spent on the dyno trying to smooth out the fueling I might see 5-10 more total HP. The current dyno charts are from the 1st and only evening of tuning; a first attempt at perfection never reaches its goal!! | ||

Eric - Beautiful, clean install, great-looking bike (I'm partial to the silver wheels). Your dyno results are impressive for stock internals and low boost; sure, custom 8.0 CR pistons would allow more boost, but at what cost, right? What's your strategy for the Aquamist setup? Injection point? Running 50/50 mix? You must have done some turbo work previously to get sweetspot boost via correct A/R selection. Did you consider an air/air intercooler plenum? Is that an EGT gauge on RHS? Mark Oregon | ||
| Spatten1 |
Sweet bike. How did you get the HP and torque curves to meet at 6250 rather than 5250 on your dyno? | ||
| Samiam |
Spatten1, Check out the scale on the dyno. If you look at 5252 RPM the numbers for torque and HP are the same. -Sam |
