Well it's not as powerfull as you'd think because it's an aircooled engine so power is a modest 160 BHP along with 150 NM at the wheel.

It will be converted to proper standalone management soon, have the kit here already, so will see a little more, around 180 BHP at the wheel.

Keeping in mind that this is quite a bit more than a Hayabusa puts out and this bike is quite a bit lighter it should keep me entertained!

It's built to a very high spec, all the parts are the business and brand new, lots of attention to detail so I'm well pleased!

Can't seem to quit the habit of silly bikes...

Most people that don't ride fast bikes tell me they'd kill themselves on it, I always respond not before they'd shit themselves lol

People tend to think they would ride like a cock but you have to get your head round to riding a proper fast bike, especially something without a fairing and lairy powerdelivery!

This one only has 160 BHP at the wheel at 7.5 K but as soon as the turbo hit's 14 psi it spins up in third...with another 2.5 k to go!

I used to have a ZZR1200 with around 150 BHP at the crank, fat vstard with a full fairing and I would be doing silly silly speeds on it ALL the time because it was so very easy on that bike! It was ace for that reason but I sold it for the same reason as it wasn't doing my license any good...

I tend to have silly bikes like turbo's, SM's, Weird or extreme choppers and stuff like that.

Just started building a tiny hardtail chop with a GSXR1100 engine, Haybusa wheels and brakes and so on...utterly useless but entertaining!

Some pics after picking it up:









That exhaust pipe is 70 mm and the can is 70 internal as well!!! Fuck me, talk about about a free flowing exhaustsystem!

Bike is very very well behaved off boost, never the less the wiringloom has left the building and the bike is awaiting stand alone management from KMS!



Sort of couldn't be bothered to undo all the plugs so took some shortcuts instead:



Ordered a box full of 316 to build a new manifold as well equall lenght so the middel two will curl up a bit higher to match the ones on the left and right, will be tuned to the firingorder as well, purely because I can

Boostpipes are off, will be remade in alluminium and this time without kinks and pigeonshitwelding...

Rides well, suspension at the back is rockhard though, Ohlins and adjustable to infinity so will have a fiddle with that as well.

For some reason people stop and stare at it everytime it's out...now I wonder why....

nice bike, quick question, whats the rod like thing just under the tank coming off the front forks/struts?

Always liked bikes, one day I will get one but for the time being got too many 4 wheel projects.

love these aircooled muscle bikes. ujm motors were bullt proof and massively over engineered. will easily handle 60% more power with the std roller bearing crank. i think dyna leads in black will be better on the eye aswell as better practiclly. id be tempted to give it a std painjob, the blue tea colour would look nice or the black yellow/orange/red (stripe) of the special that was out in the era of the big i think was called z1rtc. the tc was commisioned by turbo cycle i think? proper mans bike

The rod coming of the forkleg is indeed an adjustable steeringdamper.
The bikes doens't steer that quick that it needs one for that purpose, it's mainly there because the front gets very light under acceleration in the higher gears so it's prone to speedwobbles. The steeringdamper is there to prevent BIG tankslappers!

The engine is nigh on bulletproof, used loads in dragracing in the US.
Lubrication system is low pressure, high volume so the only snag is that the turbo rely's on an external pump to feed it oil.
It's the Holleypump on the right, under the engine.

I would like to run more boost next year so after the plenum, manifold etc. have been remade I will probably remove the engine to change the rods and pistons and O-ring the block.
I have a larger turbo for it so 300 BHP at the backwheel will be the goal.

At that power it is virtually impossible to ride it normally any longer but by then the Hardtail GSXR chop should be ready so the Kwak can retire into the livingroom

Keeping the front down isn't so much of an issue as long as you wind the power on smoothly and skip the first two gears

My carbed turbo'd bike was far worse with 225 BHP at the wheel, like an on/off switch!

Looks awesome the way it is, but you need a get well soon card for wanting it to 300!

looks like it will be a right laugh to ride..

what's the swing arm off ? has it been extended, it looks like it but then the body work behind the seat looks like it's shorter so it could just look longer..

Well....I guess my head does need looking at because I've just been shopping...

Bought a rather LARGE BorgWarner twinscroll turbo, standalone management with electronic boost and throttle control (!!!), different maps via a switch and it will be running ethanol....

Holy shit Batman! WOOSHHH!!! ZAPP!!! BLAMMO!!!!

Forgot to answer: Swingarm is standard of a 2008 ZX10R.

I do have an extended swinger with billet extentions but I'm not gonna use it.

It's a Borg Warner, used on the 2010 and upwards Volvo T6.

Should do the trick I would say!

Went quite some work in it but it will take a lot more to make it every bit as good as it looks.

I'm not happy with the plenum, exhaust, boostpipe and fuelsystem so all of that will be redone.

Also purchased a KMS MD35 ecu with DIScoil and wasted spark system, should be good!

I'm also replacing all the jubileeclips with AN-fittings and sort out the fuelsystem.

The pump takes delivery via a fueltap wich in my opinion isn't up to the job.
I don't want to chance it so I will remove the tap and weld on a boss to take a quick release fuelline going to the pump.

They've used two filters as well, from the tank as well as return, yet another possible restriction.

So quite a few little jobs that need doing, will post pics when new bits arrive andor when I've made some changes to the bike!
