Turbo build

[202mphbusa]

What was coolant issue. Head gasket? Thanks

ASHAMED TO ADMIT............................................................

three years ago, We had a BRUTALLY cold day and my antifreeze percentage was not adequate
Non Freeze plugs in head popped out
I ran the bike for a while with lots of antifreeze in the oil

Half a baby step further

[Dnyce]

Went with the high pressure oil regulator and bought the cheapest clutch cover I could find. Bottom end is officially complete.

Courtesy of Black Friday sale, one more piece of the puzzle

[Dnyce]

There’s valves in this thing, I can do some stuff!

Like replace the exhaust gaskets

[Dnyce]

Couldn’t resist putting it together just to see it for a second

[Dnyce]

Good egt spot?

[Dnyce]

i was always afraid that that EGT sensor would degrade and put debris into the turbo.....

Supposedly it takes quite awhile for that to actually happen, usually the sensor wears out before it falls apart so I’m told. Either way wouldn’t take much to check it periodically.

[Dnyce]

Another few steps forward-Gonna ceramic coat the header, probably just the outside tho

[Dnyce]

Busa or bong? Lol it’s almost ready to go in the frame

[202mphbusa]

looks like my old Boost Unlimited Plenum

[Dnyce]

looks like my old Boost Unlimited

Yea those and the Hahn look pretty similar. I want to make one myself but that’s a project for another day

[Dnyce]

First picture-caption-one word..... for me it was “motherfuuuuuuuu$&@ker lol but I got the cams cams in and I degreed em, valves adjusted, starter, stator, engine plate, air shifter mount, everything (So far) so I threw it in the frame. Starting the new year right! Need to ream some holes and get all the engine mounts in

Looking good! What’s up with the first picture you asked to caption? I don’t get what’s up with it.

What kind of power or time are you looking to run? Looks like it will be a blast.

What clutch are you using again?

[Dnyce]

First picture has the little wave washer on top of the case, I forgot to install it lol so I had to take the whole thing apart to put it on. I only realized it bcuz I was looking for something else and it fell off the shelf haha


I’m hoping for Consistent mid 7’s at 180 without being on the ragged edge of things. It’s just a lock up clutch, billet inner and outer basket.

[TonyM995]

Hahaha ouch that sucks. I kept looking at it but couldn’t tell what it was.

Wow that’s going to be fun. Heck yeah!

[Dnyce]

Putting in work today, just thought this looked cool

Super high mount turbo, no scavenger pump needed haha

[Dnyce]

Tiny things I don’t like so far that probably won’t get fixed until after it runs::
I think the charge piping could be routed better, Have to make another one to fix it.

Exhaust doesn’t flow with body line, have to cut and redo dump pipe

Getting the header on was f’n annoying, an extra inch after the flange before the four pipes curve down would make it so easy to get my hand or wrench in there.

Things I do like: looks cool

[TonyM995]

Yeah I bet an extra inch would be nice. But those are the things that make me often give the nod to having something that’s easy to live with.

Man that rear tire is Thiccc!!!

[Dnyce]

yep. It’ll get there tho, it started like this

I want it to be super aesthetic so eventually I’ll have to do all that stuff. Once I get the fuel pump, a fuel cell mounted, The sensors and coils, ill break down and buy the fueltech550
