120-140 is effectively double the horsepower of a Katana 600.

Just saying, don't expect double on 7lbs with stock internals.

Don't get all bent.

im not

so for an update today.... i think all i'm really going to get done is just welding the studs onto the exhaust outlet flange and that's really it.... other priority's suck lol.

by the way this is not a numbers goal build..

Def love what your doing man...It looks nice...I hope to see some pics of the finished product and maybe even a video or two and some specs on how it performs.

i actually picked up a camera that fits inside my helmet and was going to start vlog'ing while i ride.. so you'll see many videos

Great idea... I wish we lived close because I would love to see the first ride.

I think if you got 100hp you'd be on the winning end. I'm not a turbo guy so I could be way off... I know you're not doing this for the ponies tho and I enjoy this build!

nope i left it wide open and even threw some metal shavings in for added insurance ...

That has me ROFL...on the inside cus I'm at work

Well no i wouldnt say 7psi is alot...and no katanas arent the fastest bikes to start with...with that and some of your other basic katana mods its def gona put some pep in its step...not to mention the cool factor...lol and everyone you ever see on it is gona see a turbo and think its the fastest thing in the world...lol...but later on you could change some internals and maybe a 750 head swap and maybe the other 1000 things on this forum that you could do and you would probably be putting down some pretty serious numbers...Ill say to everyone,Im sure if he has the abality to build this and to know that he can only run abt 7psi on stock internals than he probably knows quite a bit about the outcome...So why dont we all just set back,subscribe and enjoy what hes doing instead of criticizing his work...Me personally,I love it and i love my katana,In my opinion they dont get enough respect,everyone compares them to "sport bikes" when technically there not,i mean for an oil cooled,carbed 600 that weighs more than most sport bikes i think they do pretty well.

Keep up the good work man.

Just a quick question...
are you still going to be able to change your oil with that real close to the oil filter?? Pics might make it seem closer than it is.

I was wondering the same thing...i have the same issue,my header sets right in front my oil filter so it makes it a pain to change it...it would suck to have to take the turbo off every time u have to change the oil but im sure with having the kind of experience he seems to have he can come up with something.

[mstngsrule68]

thanks for all the reply's, it really makes it more worth all the hours and abuse this takes on a body... as for the oil filter... nope it really is just that close, then add the oil feed back fitting onto it and its closer... i will most likely have to unbolt the turbo and swing it out the way to change it.... but im sure ill do a oil filter relocation kit eventually...but yea if this were a number build... it would be completly different.. just like kattie said... the idea of swapping to a 750 with low comp and completly build bottom end and about 20psi is in the back of my head...

That has me ROFL...on the inside cus I'm at work

lol that was me too

[ITS_NOT_A_KNIFE]

Is that just an ametuer level welder? Ive been thinking of picking one up and attempting to do a little fabrication on a go kart. Doesn't seem like it would be to tricky to get the hang of.

Will you be dyno testing this bike after the project?

Its a Mac Tools 130 MIG welder....nice home welder 120v-30amp/ 60hz. Ametuer.....probably not. If you cant MIG weld, you just cant MIG weld. Not some Harbor Freight crap. And there is a difference in MIG welding and gas-less (FCAW) welding. Two totally different methods. Your not gonna find a decent MIG setup for less than $600. Flux-core welding is a little more ametuer friendly, and cheaper, i once had a harbor freight welder that was FC and laid a pretty nice weld. But i Fab for a living so your results might vary

[mstngsrule68]

ALRIGHTY got some more pictures for ya guys.....

First we will start off with the block off plates you may remember from 5 pages back... those got done and installed.... heres the pictures....




here they are all installed and finished.

YAY! one more thing done...

here's another picture of the turbo, notice the beautiful studs welded on lol.


well got it all bolted up.. i think it looks beautiful!



















NOW some of you were asking about my clearance to the oil filter, i still need to toss the fitting in still but heres a ruff idea of the clearance im running, this is also after bring it out 1- 11/2 inches.







And for some fun and games i thought this picture could use some chrome. lol




I highly doubt that it will go on the bike....

so got that done today and ordered my oil feed line as well. now off to the hardware store to buy some more nice expensive fittings.

[Kattie]

Bikes lookin good man...That exhaust is gona be crazy loud...But itll sound nasty...lol

[mstngsrule68]

it not going to be that bad, the turbo is going to quite it down enough, but well see what i come up with for the exhaust, im positive ill build something....

[mstngsrule68]

Welllllll i got some more work done tonight, went to the hardware store and spent another 10bucks on fittings... heres what they look like when put together.



heres the fuel pressure gauge i got today... looks pretty awesome, sorry about the camera the chrome just wouldnt let me get a good picture..


and heres what it looks like with the fittings installed.


then i also ordered my feed line tonight... so yea thats what got accomplished today!!
