Anyone used TTS to install supercharger?
bitsilly - 10/6/10 at 04:39 PM

Am considering dropping the car into TTS to supercharge the injected dry sumped R1 in my Phoenix.
Has anyone used TTS like this?
Would a better way be to get the kit from them and fit it myself? (not really sure what is involved).
Any input would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ed

No, but have used them for bike engine work and they sure know what there doing.

If I was you i'd do some research..... Never used them myself but bar the above i've not heard anything good about them.....

Hope you have plenty money,the supercharger for a gsxr bike is £2,999 + vat

Food for thought!

Cheers

They certainly are good though, I took my ST1100 there for tuning and they showed my all the shiny shiny supercharger installation bits.

MK sportscars had a TTS supercharger kit on a GSXR 1000 demo car,it was great when it was running ok,but it was a little bit unreliable,it went through a couple of engines and outright performance gains on track were not that great .

used them donkey years ago for a massive guerilla block on a GS1000

Don't be silly.

The cost of conversion would almost pay for a years racing. That would be a huge amount more fun that going a bit faster at a trackday.

If you think trackdays are fun, just try racing. Its highly addictive and the most fun you can have with your underpants on.

You know it makes sense....

Paul is right Ed - and I suspect that some of the most fun he's had was dicing with your car.......

(Ed owns Josh's old car if you hadn't guessed Mr R.)

My wife wants a word Tim!

It is really looking as if racing may happen, bloody good point on the costs!
Will be at Llandow next Saturday Tim, any chance you could see if I'd make the grade?
Is there a beginners??
Will fit a passenger harness by then.
Cheers

I can make Llandow on Saturday... but I'm not convinced that I am the best judge of ability - I'm very much a novice still - only finished two races ever!

That said, having chased you around that day in the Strikers, I see no problems at all. Racing is crazy though - its a bl@@dy shock when you realise how little you need to be braking and there is no other buzz like it in my view.

Ring me in the week... I'll dust off my lid in the mean time. And if Mrs Bitsilly asks, I've moved to the International Space Station for a couple of years!

Probably best not to watch this with the wife...
BUT, this is the one I was looking for:
Paul Vs Josh. One of the best scraps in RGB history?

Just found this post Tim,
I don't think I'd ever be brave enough!
That second link is superb! I am not worthy of the car!

Still want to supercharge it though!

Drop 'Widz' a U2U... he had his Supercharged Busa Dax set-up down there.

I travelled with him for the session and I thought that Richard could have been a little more attentive, but that's just IMHO...
