just because you buy a kit, does not mean you don't know what you are doing.
some clearance issues under braking in the front end but only minor. had to cut a few pieces out of the fairing here and there on the left handside to accomodate the intaketube, airfilter and wastgate. right handside already beencut for sidewinder sojust extended a bit for pipe.

had to work whilst the tnt was on but will catch you there this weekend. blue/black 08/. Only 2 gen 2's in mod bike.
I'm amazed by how few people talk about the torque increases, why'd you buy a busa if you weren't addicted to it? Adding a turbo that powerful would yield tremendous torque gains too, but you never hear much about it!

Must be confusing some people, we have never stated that we have built a 650hp hayabusa. we are just using a 650hp ultra kit from RCC turbo's.
the bike has now been run on the road and down the strip using conserverative boost, afr and engine limiter settings.
in perth we recentley run a 9.4? @ 163, 9.18 @ 163 and 9.15 @ 163 in qualifying and made it through to the third round of eliminations to be beaten by Andy Roberts from QLD on his GSXR 1000, whom evetually went on to win the bracket.
A clutch has been fried, however the problem was with the spring retainers being to long and bottoming out on the studs and not allowing enough spring pressure. we replaced with a new standard clutch and heavier APE springs before the westernationals and had no problems at all. altough the 60" were very relaxed as the bike is still beaing learnt.
i cant seem to load any photos as the size of them is always too big for the site.

Like any new project these things take time to get things correctly set up and from what i have seen of this bike 8.5's or better are realistic inside the next 12 months.
The bike is also only 6 inches over as well and was running consistent mph in the heat of warm wa weather.
The turbo zx14 we have here was not this fast or consistent that quickly as the turbo takes time to get used to the clutch is very important in getting power to the ground.
I see sub 9's for when you get to Sydney and if not as long as you have fun and get good data you will be better for the next time out.
Have Fun
