Seems lately i have just never had quite enough electrical power spare, this is on my LSR bike
its a gen 1 1407 with gen 2 ecu gt35Rturbo, water/air intercooler ,with extra loggers,big coils, pumps, etc etc
Goes well and the whole package was pretty good, but for having to service the ice tank at the start line and the cost of the fuel
so i decided to look at methanol again, doing my fuel servicing at the pits and low cost fuel that can reduce the need for an intercooler,
but last time i tried it my electrical system was unable to keep up
so i needed to cut back on power used , searching for a pump that can move better than 6 litres a min at 70psi, and not take 18 amps to do it
found a weldon 2015 that listed at 12 amps to do this, thats in the ball park, maybe this could work ...
fitted up 650cc primary and 1600cc secondary injectors,
put a AEM CDI on, this was very easy to fit and draws very little power for the spark energy it produces , and it uses the stock coils
Got it all plumbed in and fired it up
combo seems pretty good, injector size is as i hoped close enough step up from the gasoline injectors that it starts easy cold and free revs beautifully
but the wires from the regulator and the reg itself are getting hot and an amp meter i brought to check is in the negatives, and deep when the fans kick in
So remembering a thread Powerhouse posted about a high output Stator and regulator , i searched it, had a good read and PMed Frank
The Stator and regulator were in stock, so i arranged a changover stator and a few days later had the parts in my hands here in Australia
Now fitted and tested
This is 11 amps going to the battery after all other power needs are fulfilled
Wiring is much cooler and the temp difference in the regulator is very noticable
Because my whole bike is pretty much one of esp things like most of the electrical connectors being water proof due to the salt i had to change the standard connectors , both crank trigger and stator
new regulator is much smaller
fuel pump mounted in the new tank base
side view with ign system showing
Particulary want to say thanks Frank , been a busy week in the heat here trying to get finished so we can run at the end of Feb and it would all have fallen in a heap without your help
Now the hours on the dyno start
