Hey chaps:

1. 1999 C2
2. Pipercross super flat P600 (under bonnet) with dynojet kit with biggest jet (which I think is actually the smallest if that makes sense)
3. Standard ST
4. 3.89 Cortina with 195x50x15 with Toyo Proxy's
5. Cable link - seems to work though I've not tested it at speed yet (local car park is too small!)

And welcome Ben, good to see you on here.

Hi Glen

Sounds an interesting setup, how much more power do you expect the turbo to generate? any chance of posting some pics?

Hi Wadders, soon hope to be able to upload the pics, problem is i have been taking alot of them in very high res about 800Kb, so i have to reduce this, quite time consuming. The system is quite complex as i have fitted my own fuel injection system running off cossy injectors, i am going to aim for 180-200 BHP. I used to drag race bikes and with Nitro we managed 175BHP easily and reliably, on a stock engine. In norway 225BHP kits with turbos are available, but i doubt the strength of engine and box to take this strain. When everything is up and running about 3 weeks i hope i will give full details of the whole sysytem.

See ya
Glen

Hi Austen, I hope its reasonably quick but after the drag bikes and a few cars i have had the privellage to pilot, it has a hard act to follow thats the reason for the rather extreme build and careful attention to detail. I will keep you posted on the outcome.

Home built chasis and suspension, converted over the winter from 1300GT Xflow.

1, ZX9R e1 2000/2001 (From M1 Salvage)
2,Filter TTS dome
3,ST manifold, Techsport repackable silencer.
4,Cortina diff 3.75:1
5,Rod link with pivot mounted on engine cradle.
6, Sump standard with guard fitted.

It went on the TTS rolling road last week and made 120BHP at the wheels after re-jetting. But the biggest improvement was in the mid range power which at 9500RPM jumped from 85BHP to 115BHP. I thought it was quick before being set up, now it's very very quick and so much more driveable. Does anyone else have dyno figures?

Yup. My experiences were very similar to yours wrt being RR'ed at TTS, a massive jump in power at c.9.5k and a much better curve.
My dyno plot is here

Ben

Had either of you done any work on the carbs before you had TTS do their thing or were they still jetted as on the bike. I can't decide if I should leave the carbs untouched and just have TTS RR it or fit a Dynojet kit myself.

And for the record

1, C2 1999
2, None yet
3, ST system
4, 3.62 Sierra lsd
5, ST rod linkage
6, ST sump on order

Mine were still as off the bike, before going to TTS.
I (mostly) took Ian Gray's advice and took it easy untill the TTS session and even though it was too lean it doesn't seem to have done it any harm.
It didn't half feel better afterwards though

Ben

Okay I know I should be revising but had to come online to get some notes on some books for an english exam on wed and saw this so:
1) 2001 c2
2)?
3)? standard zx9 with r1 can hopefully and a catalitic converter for a week for sva
4)LSD don't know the ratio big sierra ones for the mo hope fully get some nice 15/16" alloys eventually
5)first job after exams solid tho
Cheers guys You lot can get back to building while I have to revise

Same here, carbs left untouched until put on the TTS rollers. The guy there (Kurt) said he was surprised at the original peak power considering how lean it was. Again no harm appears to have been done, even after running for a couple of hundred miles before re-jetting. Main jet size was actually reduced, and then the air corrector jet was blocked up to richen up all through the range.

Hi ben, dont feel too bad, in two weeks i have to sit for my final exams of University. (B.Commerce Managment), two days before which my car has to be completed for a Car show. I am sponsored to race locally (Malta) in our hill climb championship by a beer company who are also sponsoring the show. Its the books during the day and the car at night!!!

Can i ask why everyone is so sure that carbs are the way to go, a well mapped fuel injected blade will always beat a carb model, both in mid range and max power. There is the argument that the rolling road is expensive when Mapping, but it seems that you all take your carbs for setup as well. If there are any bikers out there ride the new blade (2003) against a 99 model and see the difference.

See ya Glen

Thanks Ben and Ninja. I will be going to TTS after the car is on the road and let them tune it. Another problem solved.

Cost I think is the simple answer. I definately agree that a fully RR mapped injection system would be better, as would a fully RR mapped ignition system.
It would certainly be nice to go that way but personally I'd need (being on carbs to start with) a set of TBs and fuel-rail/delivery system an ECU and a lenghthy RR session to map both fuel and ignition. I don't know the exact costs offhand but suspect it wouldn't be cheap, though it is tempting as a mini project
Also I suppose that if you're getting say a ZX9 to put in your BEC, if you can afford the extra for the above then it may well move you into or a lot closer to ZX12 territory which would probably give a bigger power improvement anyway. I suppose then, though, you still end up with the same temptation to remap
From what I've gathered, as well, the world of bike tuning has seemed less keen to grasp the electronically mapped approach. ISTR that a good source of TBs is bikers removing them from their engines so they can fit flatside carbs. I could be wrong but this is definately the impression I have from reading around various forums.
So yes it's better but for convenience and cost, I for one have stuck with carbs (for now anyway!)

Cheers,
Ben

Good piece of simple software to change the size all your pictures in one batch:

Irfanview at http://www.irfanview.com/

I use it all the time for mass coversions of images for my web site.

Use the batch conversion section under 'File'.
