Ok be sure to look really closely at the edges of your pistons. That is where the problem usually is. Also look at your spark plugs. You will definitely see a difference from cylinder to cylinder by looking at your spark plugs.

I know I'm late on this subject but my experience tells me that he has one or more burnt pistons. I've been there and done that. My case was stock compression and running pump gas with about 9lbs of boost Gen1. My problem stopped when I went ahead and put the 80 thousandths spacer to lower the...

So it sounds like at least a gen2 exhaust cam in the gen1 one is a good upgrade

I can say this much. When I first built my engine back in 2009 I was interested in the 2 intake cam mod but a engine builder told me the it will make more horsepower with two intake cams but the engine will loose some torque so I just kept the stock cams, oh and I have a gen1 as well. By the way...

I agree you should get 300 easily. I make 300 with a gen1 stock crank, stock pistons and rods. I do have an 0.80 spacer though. I have no intercooler either. I did port my head myself though with stock cams. So for what you have 300 is very little HP.... So yes low compression is the best and...

I have a turbo blanket on mine and it did help the engine run cooler and the oil pressure is better due to the engine running cooler. It definitely works and they are not that expensive. I have rode my bike as far as 550 miles one way so I have did a lot of little things to make it as streetable...

I can honestly say the the Turbo does need some load to help with the spooling. Now with your weight and Turbo size you shouldn't have to worry much about spooling up. You should be able to run a little lower ratio like a 46, 47, or 48 on the back if it doesn't cause it to spin. For now make...

I think it looks cool. I can see the waste gate through the faring but it also would be a good sleeper because of the full exhaust.

You shouldn't need a whole kit. If you need anything extra it will probably be a header. And that shouldn't take no more than an hour or two for an experience technition

I talked with Jay Stedman last week and he told me that they are using turbonetics turbos now and they are suppose to spool up faster than the t3t4s I didn't get a price on it though

I do not run a PC and it runs like stock and no I don't need or run a scavenge pump. The ECU tune is the best way to go. My bike is also a street bike and I ride it a lot. Also my gas mileage is a little bit better than a stock bike even though I have almost 300 HP lol...

I have a SRP Stage 1 Turbo kit. I have a Gen1. Its got a ECU tune and it took about 35 mins to tune but it wasn't that far off and also jay Stedman knows turbos. He will get it right and get it safe.

Jay Stedman knows turbos I bout one of his kits. Conrad Long and I just got our bikes tuned by him about three weeks ago you should definitely go to Stedman motorsports. Tell jay that Richard Jackson said some good things about his work. Good luck

One good way to check to turbo is to loosen up the fitting at the bottom of the turbo. There should be two bolts holding it on if oil comes out right away then the oil is sitting in there from the oil level in the engine. If you don't get any oil leakage the the seals in the turbo are bad. I...
