Hello! Just wanted to finally post here and introduce myself. I just got this bike and I think it is amazing. This is what happened. I was thinking about getting a bike. Looked at the new Hayabusas and really liked them. Something sparked my memory and I remembered that Roaring Toyz always had some crazy bikes up on their site and often they were for sale. On a whim, I checked them out and they did, indeed, have a couple outrageous ZX-14’s for sale. Way too expensive for me but it got me wondering about custom or turbo Busas. Just out of curiosity, I started looking around and eventually this led to that and I found a gorgeous bike that cost me about what a 2013 from the dealer would have, the bonus being that it already had a lot of work done on it. Cool right? Well, I had NO IDEA what I was getting myself into.

Sorry for the wall of text there but I wanted to list everything so that the turbo gurus around here can look at my components and advise me if anything is wrong or could use an upgrade.
I have been riding the bike as much as I can and it is incredible. I have been running on 93 octane pump gas. Boost has only been 6lbs (waste gate spring).
The bike was tuned by the builder up to 25lbs of boost and running on VP racing fuel C-16. Bike made around 450 hp. As I am sure many of you know, this turbo should be good for up to 650 hp but judging by the dyno graph with the small .63 exhaust it would be out of steam around 35lbs of boost and 550hp. Smaller exhaust side aids in quicker spool time. It gives up a little peak hp but should be easier to ride since it creates a more linear curve rather than one that brings in the boost so hard that it is uncontrollable.
More Turbo details - .62 a/r – compressor wheel measures 2.375 inducer side and 3.228 exducer side. Turbine wheel is 2.795 inducer side and 2.337 exducer side.
MS Ultra Standalone info – Tailor made for Gen1 Hayabusa and built by Tony Finley of Interface PNP. Does what a standalone does. Controls pretty much everything on the bike in one box. Tony is a electrical engineering genius IMHO and has a turbo Busa and a twin turbo Viper in his personal stable. I will be sending the box back to him this winter for an upgrade to Bluetooth. I will be able to connect to my laptop or even an Android phone or tablet wirelessly to monitor engine performance or even make adjustments on the fly. Can also data log straight to the phone/tablet. The MS Ultra box has a SD card slot for high sampling rate data logging as well.
The bike runs great around town, even with 1000cc injectors. My speedometer is not working right now and I am not sure if the problem is with the sensor or some sort of issue with the CANBUS connection from the Standalone to the AiM dash. Working with Tony to try and figure it out. One other thing about Tony is that he really stands behind his product and even though I was not the original purchaser, he is supporting me 100%. He is even going to connect to my laptop remotely to check my settings, software versions, firmware update, etc. And best of all, next time I go to my local Dyno, I connect my laptop to the bike on the Dyno, Tony connects to my laptop through the internet from his house, and he will tune my bike from like 1000 miles away!
Future plans – I really feel like the bike is complete and turnkey. I am considering switching to E85 since that is what Tony runs on. Of course this would require a retune but I think I could run more boost. Plus E85 is cheap
Maybe HID lights? New kickstand? Can’t really think of much else.After reading through a few threads here, I am interested in the RCC Ultra plenum. The option to run so much boost on pump gas is very intriguing to me. Also kind of like the idea of primary/secondary injector system even though my current system can supply plenty of fuel. If a primary/secondary system can improve the around town ride, I would be interested. The bike is loud and mean sounding and I dig that but if I could significantly improve the bike with an Ultra and heat exchanger, then I will put one on my Xmas list.
Questions:
If this was your bike, is there anything you would change or upgrade?
What kind of boost levels are commonly run on E85?
What are the possibilities when using a Standalone along with the Ultra plenum?
Any Turbo Busa riders in NoVA wanna hang out and exchange notes?
Thanks guys. I am looking forward to becoming a member of this community
