- Thread starter black diamond busa

Tips for first time rider, make sure someone gets a pic or vid when you remove your helmet after the first ride and gets that big grin and unrepeatable comments
This!!! The first time getting on boost after I picked up the bike for Powerhouse was completely insane!

Prosport IAT/Intake Air Temperature Digital Gauge
Has anyone used this gauge? Does AEM make an air intake temp gauge?

Bro just save your $$$ and do a complete turbo build. I know your excited cause you got a turbo and you wanna put it 2gether as fast as possible and ride but it's only gonna hurt you in the long run......
Your gonna want more HP=More Boost=Bad business on stock internals
You got some of the best Turbo shops in the country on this forum!! Get with them and make a list of everything you need 2 buy in order 2 make this bike bullet proof. Pistons, rods, valves, etc.. Might take you longer to ride but @ least when you ride there won't be any concerns lingering and you definitely won't have 2 tear back in2 the motor X amount of months later cause something broke or melted
Yea I do want it done asap and it could bite me later. I have seen a lot of people on here run a stage 1 for a lot of miles, they were happy and had no problems. I have seen other people melt Pistons or just want more power. I want to start off on a stock motor stage 1. It lets me learn how to ride it while saving money. you also have fully built bottom ends that still lets a rod fly. I have been around fast cars long enough to learn that just because you spend $800 on the best rods, doesn't guarantee a rod won't break. I understand the chance I'm running.
I thought gen1 valve springs are fine with low boost?
I just got my data logger in. I got it to monitor A/F, Boost and Air temp. Got it for a heck of a deal. Thanks again GNBRETT
Its coming slow. Last couple of months have gone by fast. I have been gathering small parts and doing a lot of research. I was thinking about going meth injection for added safety since I have some races booked for the summer already. Richard and Rob talked me out of it. I went down to Ricks Custom Cycles last month. He looked over the system and graves a thumbs up and gave me a parts list. I should be ordering all my turbo parts this week. Spring is coming fast.
I just ordered my parts. Now I have to wait a week for them to arrive.
What is everyone using for oil, filter and plugs on a turbo motor?
Just got home from Ricks with my parts. Also picked up a set of R1 rims when I was down in Detroit. Let the fun begin.
Oil restrictor removed and oil block offs installed. Oil line feed plug installed with blue loctite.
OK newb question. I know what the 2 vacuum feeds are for but what is the hole in the back of the plenum is for?
