Another turbo katana build....

[mstngsrule68]

Ok well one swell evening me and rob(ITS_NOT_A_KNIFE) we're trying to come up with something for me to do. Either buy another bike and do something fun with it that way, well he suggested why not just turbo it... after debate..... !!!!I AM!!!! so I know I should have started this thread a few weeks ago when it first began but due to having surgery and stuff it all didn't go as planned..... so here's every to get you all up to speed... ENJOY!

We first started out by cutting up the old header, sorry I don't have a picture... then we made a jig from another finished stock header so we had something to go off of and not build it all on a bike.. here's is the jig





then here it is after started putting it together, Oh I also should quick take the time out to thank him again for all his help with this. I had to have surgery about 2 weeks ago and im on a weight limit restriction and still very weak, so I can't be as active as i would really like to be, SO THANK YOU AGAIN! (for the billionth time)

here's the pictures from start to a few welds, paint, and header wrap shy of being complete.






















here's rob cutting because im to busy taking a break haha.



AND ALMOST DONE!!!!!





So after we got that done, I decided the bike should start coming apart to start getting thing's done on it as well...

So started by getting the fairings, tank, air box, and exhaust off.







So since I need to modify the gas tank because the stock petcock won't flow enough, and turns out that the petcock is fudged anyways might as well drain the tank...




So that's whats gotten done in these few days, next step is to get the tank done, get the header done, and figure out where the hell this fuel pump and regulator are going to go..... and obviously put the header and turbo on the bike so I can figure out where the scavenger pump is going to go. Then I can also get my oil feed line ordered.

sure will, I plan on every second I can devote to this build i'm going to... kinda nice since all i'm doing is resting and re-couping

k got a little more done today, after about a week or so of trying to figure out where this fuel pump and regulator are going to go it happened... at first i liked the idea of inside the left rear fairing... but after messing with the mounting bracket.. it just wouldn't work. SOOOOO I found that the little hole on the rightside of your upper shock mount makes a pretty awesome spot. After a few trips to the vice and messing around, it got mocked up. I still need to pull it off and put the fittings in so it's not completely done as of yet. I also got around the almost finishing up the emissions delete. Just need to throw a coat of paint on and its done...







Stock bracket










turned into this, then forgot to get another picture, but you can see it also got a new hole and shortened in another picture.










Then these started off as this.....


with the help of a cut-off wheel and a grinder, and a welder.. turned into this.




oh here's the boost gauge I picked up a week or 2 ago.


So really that's all that I got done on my bike today....




oh here's how the bike sits right now, kinda sad and it's hating me but... in the end its going to pay off.

[SpecM3]

Thats awesome. What do you do about the computer? Maybe I missed it but do you just run low boost stock ECU set up?

[mstngsrule68]

thanks man... and no its carburated not fuel injected so there's no computer, all you need to do is make sure it has enough fuel for the air going in.
