Sorry for asking all these questions but I'm trying to learn as much as possible really quickly.
I've been told the bike I'm purchasing has the following:
T3/T4 57mm turbo
Tial 38mm Wastegate (15lb spring to be changed at pickup site to 7lb)
HKS SS Blow Off Valve
Custom billiet intake manifold
Walhbro 255 pump
440cc injectors
Port & Polish
Heavy duty valve springs
ARP Head Studs
Cometic Head Gasket
.63/.80 spacer
Power Commander
18T / 39T Sprockets
Stock radiator and swing arm.
I've bolded the one's I'm really curious about. Most of the others I pretty much get, but left them so you'd have an overall understanding of the package (which I do not).
I am especially curious about the spacer... I've done all the research I can find and I'm assuming it lowers the compression....but to what? And why .63/.80? I've only found a little info on spacers and they mostly just say .80, so what's the .63 all about?
Also, looking at this setup, what is the most boost and hp you would run on 92oct for reliable street riding? Is the seller correct about 7lbs, and if so...why? What is needed to go 8 or 10 lbs reliably that isn't there?
Please understand, I have a basic idea of what all of these mod's are for, but I don't know what to expect with this specific combination of them...or why?
Could anyone please comment on why the bike might have any of these specific mod's... especially if one hasn't been commented on by others? It would just help me have a better understanding of this motor.
Also, if any of these mod's might require special attention, or a particular riding style... could you let me know?
For instance... could be something like "Cometic Head Gaskets melt if you use ethanol mixed fuel", or "Walhbro pumps have to be replaced every 2000mi" You know... something I wouldn't know.
Could you also tell me what the Power Commander is doing on this engine, and will I have to have it remapped for a lesser spring? I don't even know how, or where to get these maps... 7-11 next to the chips?
Is this motor considered a stage one or stage two and why?
I have very little experience with aftermarket turbocharged bikes....actually none unless you count reading as fast as I can for the last week.
Even generalizations would help, like "that's a pretty nervous high strung motor", or "that's a very manageable setup and reliable"...etc. etc. Anything you can think of.
The members of this board have been very helpful to me in a very short time. I really appreciate it greatly, but I'm finding myself feeling ignorant about what is actually going to be going on down there between my legs on this trip.
I won't bother the board with this too much more before I leave to pick up the bike. 6 days left.
