Talking to my mate Kev today about welding and fitup of the 2mm plate to the intercooler. We got talking about types of Tungsten we are using. I...
I just fused the lip of the stubs into the surface of the plate. No filler rod so no stacked dimes. Plenty of penetration so I reckon it's as...
totally agree on being too cautious with the current. I'm now in the "lots of current and go for it" camp. I also have the balance a bit on the...
I've been messing around with my TIG welder trying to do half decent welds on 2mm aluminium. After most of a bottle of Argon, and hours watching...
I asked on an R6 racing FB page and was offered 2 shocks seperately, both only asking NZ$100ea. There is probably similar pages in other...
I've replaced the shocks on 2 chassis just recently using later model R6 shocks. I think one is 2006-2007 and the other was a 2012. It wasn't a...
Power should increase, plus hot intake air causes an increased risk of detonation. A really easy test to illustrate why power increases is to get...
I don't know what temp drop to expect. The log shows it hitting about 100C at times so there does need to be a reduction in temp before adding...
I have purchased an intercooler core and have been looking at how and where to mount it. I was thinking of mounting it on the intake plenum with a...
I'm mocking up a shroud to direct air to an intercooler that will be fitted directly over the engine and intake plenum chamber. After a bit of...
I don't think contact will be a problem. The MB/FZR had no problem and although I haven't measured it I think the turbo twin chain is actually...
My son and I went to Tokoroa Kart track over the weekend. It was wet on Saturday when I was looking to have a ride on the turbo twin so I didn't...
I have the R6 shocks fitted to both bikes. The MB/FZR has been run on the dyno and the chain rubbed the reservoir a couple of times. I have had a...
I have had the same thoughts about getting the exhaust to the turbine without losing energy. My big turbo 4 cylinder has very short 4:1 and then a...
I have a plenum on both exhaust and intake. Cylinders are 180 apart so there's very odd intervals between events. Logic said a plenum would help...
I do still have the ECU. My one had the problem where there was leakage to earth from the circuit board touching the case. I figured it out before...
I went out looking for Threebond sealant. The local Repco were helpful but didn't have any "1215", which is the typical sealant I think. I drove...
Funny. I share your views on carbs vs EFI. Getting my twin running with a couple of carbs would be effortless compared to the grief I've had...
There's "tool steel", and then there's "tool steel". I have a quality 14mm tool steel end mill. It's 8% cobolt similar to the one in the link....
I have a couple of different types of carbide inserts. Pretty standard ones that came with the lathe are OK on steel and alloy but I bought...
