With the help of Shayne, Shane and Bill we started installing my turbo kit on my bus on the weekend past. its looking good. just a few things to get, pipes and stuff and a couple of little things to fix and i will be right to go.

Thanks to bill and the shanes for taking the time out of your long weekends to help out. as you already know i really appreciate it..

all going well i will have the bike in the dyno room fri nite......

No worries Sam, hope you get as much enjoyment as I did, what am I saying I know you will.

shit yeah, should be boosting along in no time...

[xhiler8r]

lets see if this works

[BLACKZOOK]

Great team effort guys. Im sure youll be delighted with the result. Boosted busa's rule

[xhiler8r]

Sam let me know when ya hitting the dyno room i would love to tag along and see how it all goes Friday arvo would be great that way we can go play Friday night oh and then there is the sports bike shootout next weekend also you wanna play there also ?

Have a read of this, so you know how to adjust the FMU , it does the majority of the fuel management on a stg 1 kit , won't need to begin with a "o" map in the pc as your only fine tuning an existing setup
a 1/8 or 1/4 turn on the fmu needle valve may be all that is needed to get a nice 11.5 :1 AF on boost.

at this stage mate, if i get all finished tonite which i am thinking i will, friday nite i am going to try get into the dyno room..... shouldnt be a drama. tony said i can use it whenever i want :)

not so sure about the sportbike shootout though...

Has Tony had any experiance with turbo busa's (or any turbo bike for that matter)
If not he needs to know to keep the runs short , a long run makes lots more cyl temp and will not give any different hp or mixture readings, compare the run to a 4th gear blast, your only on power for several seconds .
Air/fuel ratio needs to be ~11.5 on boost no leaner than 12:1 esp with the usb as there is no timing control .
Use fresh premium 98 even add some thing like bp racing 100 at 50% .
do not exceed 8 psi boost
If the part throttle transition is not smooth the fmu is set incorrectly.
Good luck

he has dealt with a couple of turbo bikes, not alot though. we are allready aware that we need to keep the af ratio no leaner than 12 and will be starting off by doing small runs first, not just hooking into the big power run straight away.

we are running 6lb boost

Hey Tag a bit of advice if you're using a powercommander:

When you set up your FMU on the dyno first set your base fuel pressure. 43 is stock but you might get better results slightly higher or lower.

Next set your FMU bleed valve to get the correct A/F for full boost. As you say 12:1 or richer should be fine.

Now look at you across-the-range A/F and if it's a bit lean anywhere turn up the base pressure a little, then once again set the bleed valve to get the correct full-power A/F. Try to make it so that you have no lean spots under boosted power with a zero map in your powercommander.

Finally use the powercommander to remove fuel from the map to bring the rich sections back down. Do it like this and if you have a fault on your powercommander that stops it working you won't find out with four melted pistons.


Great work by the way
