Hey Jim how much boost you gonna run? are you gonna intercool it? My expierience on my car is with a nitrous intercooler spray, it is worth about 20 hp | ||
| Firemanjim |
Definitely intercooled and yer bro says about 20psi.You were just using the spray bar on the intercooler,right? | ||
| Firemanjim |
Just got the FJ Franken-bike back from fabricators,what a great job and even better screamin' deal on price.    | ||

Damn Jim, That is a really nice job! The airbox looks top notch. Nice volume! Did they use the stock header and cut it apart? I'd love to see a closer picture of the exhaust manifold. Neat stuff! Brad | ||
| Firemanjim |
UPDATE! Just picked up my chassis from the same fabricator who did the Yammie,it came out nice. Kinda the antithesis of a Buell now----raked the frame 6 degrees and stretched the swingarm 7 inches.No more turns,just stable straightline performance.Will post pics tomorrow. Engine should be back this week so I can start putting things together.Then back to fabber to hang turbo,etc. | ||

Can't wait to see the finished product! Are you going to race at El Mirage in June? Scott | ||
| Firemanjim |
Never be done by then,be lucky to make sept meets. | ||
| Firemanjim |
Finally made some progress, engine and frame are one again. Now it's off to get exhaust.   | ||
| Isiahstites |
Looks great Jim! When and where do you plan on racing it first? Scott | ||
| Rocketman |
Mine looks better  Rocket | ||

Is that a pair of STD XR-style heads? And cast iron cylinders? (Message edited by moxnix on May 24, 2007) | ||
| Firemanjim |
Nope. R&R billet heads,standard exhaust layout. Proformance base bolt cast cylinders.  | ||
| Bluzm2 |
I can't wait to hear that beast run! You better get hopping Jim and get that thing together for September, I'm looking forward to being your pit bitch.... Brad | ||
| Diablobrian |
Wow Jim, that looks just plain EVIL...but in a good way  Not that there's anything wrong with that... | ||
| Moxnix |
Good stuff. | ||
| Firemanjim |
Finally some more parts done--check out the size of this intake an injectors. The guy at HP Inc that did the set-up told me that these were the biggest injectors he had ever seen in a bike.    | ||
| Blake |
Does size really matter? | ||
| Diablobrian |
Wow, that thing could pass small children through it without touching the sides! | ||
| Firemanjim |
Wait til you see throttle body. | ||
| Firemanjim |
Picked up the bike ,turbo is on,exhaust is done,water tank for intercooler.     | ||
| Firemanjim |
A couple more    | ||
| Road_thing |
Looking good, Jim! Are you going to run the stock oil tank? I think you're going to be cleaning a bunch of salt off that hair dryer... rt | ||
| Firemanjim |
I have bike back from fabricators and it is looking wicked,will get pics when I am not at work. All of turbo,FI, intercooler,exhaust,wastegate and such are done. Now need to fab a crank sensor to fire FI----all I can say is WOW!! | ||
| Alessio66xb12r |
i was pleasured by your engine's pictures Jim ....a piece of art. sorry because of my ignorance....but ...where is the oil filter ??? maybe inside or around the oil tank ??? first time i see a 4 cams motor of this size. is this used for circuit races or only for drag and land competition ??? bye Alessio | ||
| Bob_thompson |
Jim, both bikes look great. Will you be doing any of the USFRA meets early in the summer or just the SCTA speedweek? I would like, very much, to see you run this summer as I have not been doing speed trials since I ran my turboed BMW quite a while ago. It never leaves the blood though. Good job my friend and I hope to see you this summer sometime. Bob | ||

Who makes the belt primary drive? | ||
| Firemanjim |
Land speed only. Oil filter is remote and not even on as yet.Have to check brand on belt drive,disassembled it all yesterday so I can make the front sprocket have crank sensor in it. Here ya go--    | ||
| Eengler2 |
That is looking AWESOME. Keep the pics coming! | ||
| Az_m2 |
Wow | ||

Hey Jim: I just noticed that's the frame you bought from me. I'm glad your putting it to good use. TK |
