    Crower titanium rods

    Looking for feedback from anyone who has had any experience with the titanium rods Crower offers in thier catalog. Im seriously considering buying a set but want to know what kind of performance and just how much quicker/higher the rev potential is/would be. I have a velocity stage two turbo kit...

    Turbo Pistons

    Not in a bike but I've run Mahle's in a 496 BB Chevy, 14.7 to 1 compression with 250 hit of spray on them, never an issue. Good parts there.

    1st turbo ride

    According to the website, it's a Garrett GT25. Its a stage two kit from Velocity. Got about 1000 miles on it now and no issues. Thing flat flies. I have two bro in laws that have R1's (06 Raven & an 08 red) and leave them like they are on Ninja 250s. Id sleep with my bike if the wife would let me!!!

Checked the header bolts and they are still tight. & I also ziptie'd everything that didnt get a hoseclamp. Havent had any issues....yet. Still running strong. Getting a little more comfy...

    1st turbo ride

    Did the check valve when we dynoed. 8.75 psi was the highest reading. I thought the same thing. I dont have the tq graph from the 319 run but this is from about a week prior. Put some new plugs and RP synthetic in it before the 319 run, only changes other than to the computer by ECS. It acually...

    1st turbo ride

    It was tuned on Sonoco 110 for a safety margin but it runs on pump 91 with no issues. No lowered compression, its a stock long block. Also, I bought a Factory Pro ignition advance keyway (4*) and installed it backwards to take away 4* of timing, just to be safe. Over 1500 miles on it and it...

    1st turbo ride

    Honestly, I am big sissy. I make sure I have more than enough straight line before I even try. Its actually nice that I live in Phx since its all a gib grid for the most part=all straight shots. She commands respect and boy do I gve it to her. Im skeered!!!

    1st turbo ride

    Spent a little more time on the dyno today tuning. It likes fuel! The richer it goes, the more power it makes! Air fuel was @ 11 and she pounded out 319.8rwhp & 169.8rwtq. Still on 8 pounds! Just sick!

    1st turbo ride

    So today was my madien voyage out on the beast and all I can tell you is that the acceleration reminds me of that of a video game. It is almost cartoonish how silly the bike will leave anything else on the road. 75mph roll on against an 07 Gixxer 600 (ya, I know, its only a 600 but he started...

    Turbo time

    It has an 8 pound spring in the wastegate, it might creep close to 9 pounds but I dont think it made it there. 8.75 pounds? Hard to watch the gauge when its in the positive side of life. Its an all stock 05 cept the turbo & a factory pro ingition advance 4* keyway installed backwards to retard...

    Turbo time

    Got the turbo installed & tuned. It is a velocity stage two with an 8 pound spring in the wastegate. Rode it aroung a little bit and all I can say is, HOLY SH!T!!!! 305rwhp and 161 ft/lbs. Jerry at ECS Dyno is the man!
