Hey guys, just chiming in to let you know I'm still here. I'll probably get started on this as a winter activity. I feel like this is probably the best time for you guys as well. I'll let you know when I get all the materials to start another run.

I don't have any made yet, I don't even have the lever blanks because I used all of them on the last run. I think I started with 50 of them. They may seem simple to make, but believe me, they are very tedious and painstaking. Mostly in clean cutting the stock lever off the splines and in the...

Just a feeler here, is anyone still interested in these? I have some free time and a new shop.

An ideal pressure to backpressure ratio is as close to 1:1 boost:exhaust backpressure as possible, for engine efficiency reasons. Obviously pumping losses go way up when you have to constantly compress an exhaust manifold. That being said, a single digit PSI difference in the chamber and...

That's not true because turbos create exhaust pressure that would negate the boost pressure.

What I'm getting from this is the FZ6 is a less lift but more duration. I think I can live with the FZ6 cams in there since boost will make up for the gains in the top end. So now I have some new cams to decorate my house with lol Anywho, I updated the album showing the finished forks and...

This is great, thanks!

The R6 really doesn't have much of a different midrange than the FZ6 (we are talking single digit differences in torque at the same rpm), but it has a double digit advantage high up in the rev range where it matters. Generally speaking, turbos act as a force multiplier to engine power. If a...

I don't have the tools to measure the shape of the cam profile, but I can measure the absolute lift and compare them to the FZ6 cams. I'll be posting those measurements for you guys.

Things are slowing down until I get a few more parts in. Here was the progress today, I decided to make a better solution for the stem fitment in the R1 lower triple tree. I turned that little piece on my lathe and I'll weld it to the new stem I'm getting since I messed up the threads on the...

The goal is to keep up with or beat an older literbike, and I think I should be able to do that. The turbo is going to be pretty well exposed, why put in all this work if I'm not showing it off a little? So I did a couple minor things today. I welded on some steering stops to the lower...

So I was a little drunk a couple nights ago and apparently bought a set of R6 cams off ebay for $60, so I guess I'll be measuring and installing those after all. I'll post a guide for that when I'm done.

Blah

Definitely progress is being made. Slowly and deliberately. What I've been finding is that every time I take something off or take something apart, I discover that some part has been worn out, dryrotted, rusting, or just generally needs some attention. I took my throttle bodies off, for...

More than likely I'm going to have to upgrade the clutch. Thanks!
