Here is a picture of a project that has been in the works for years that I am finally rebooting. My goal is to be roadworthy by June 1, 2018. Here's what has been done so far:
- Motor : 1984 FJ600 bored out to 652cc with Megacycle cams
- Front End : GSXR - not sure what size or year - important part to me was upside down forks and 6 piston calipers
- Rear End: Single Sided swingarm and wheel from a VFR750
- Tailpiece: Ducati 916, including underseat exhausts
- Turbo: 1982 Seca Turbo (you can kinda see it in the photo just in front of the engine)
- Carburetors: (Not shown) Mikuni RS34 smoothbore
- Other: Nitrous. I was using this on the FJ before I decided that I needed a turbo. Nitrous is AWESOME!
The rest is currently under construction...I will add pictures as I go.
For now, the immediate steps of the project are:
1) Airbox. Carbs will be mounted inside the airbox as the float bowls need to be pressurized in order for the turbo to work. Currently about 25% built. I'll add pictures of the progress soon.
2) Rubber mount the turbo. The shop that originally mounted it in California mounted it directly to the frame. Not wise with a rubber mounted engine...
3) Finish the exhaust. Need to plumb from the turbo to the mufflers.
3) Intake piping. Add an air filter near the neck of the frame. Not sure how yet...that's part of the fun!
4) everything else..make a tank...electrics...etc.
5) Ride it.
