Well its been a busy start to the year, we've been working on the Turbo R1 & the billet plenum is well underway, it has a water/ air intercooler built into the front half.

 Here's some pic's of the lower half nearly complete. 

We tuned the GSX1400 on the dyno today & are very pleased with the results, The bike managed to get 173 Rear wheel Horsepower on just 6 Psi boost. It's an absolute blast to ride with a huge amount of midrange torque. This bike could be used as an everyday bike no problem.

Here's a little video from the dyno, as you can see it makes the power very easily.

The GSX1400 is almost all done. Its all together & running, now it just needs a tune & a few finishing touches.

Here's a short vid of it running.

We decided to go with one of our BXP Billet plenums on the GSX1400 

The plenum uses O rings to seal onto the throttle bodies. 

Here you can see the whole setup fitted, some may also notice the relocated power regulator, this is to allow the up pipe & airfilter to fit between the  plenum & battery tray.

The time has come to give the 14 a bit more grunt, in this case its in the form of a Garrett ball bearing Turbo 

We have decided to use a stealthy rear mount setup, which will give a very linear power delivery, this kind of setup also keeps the clean look at the front , we are using aftermarket stainless headers with a modified mid pipe. 

Here is the headers fitted with the turbo in place. 

The GSX1400 has received a few coats of gloss Black paint a powerbronze undertray & a new super short carbon muffler, now for more power...  

Another bike we are working on at the moment is an 08 GSX 1400, we've done a front end conversion using 08 Hayabusa forks with one of our BXP step down Billet top clamps, which allows the bike to retain the stock ride height as the Hayabusa forks are shorter than the GSX1400 ones. The advantage of using the Hayabusa forks is the better adjustment on a superior fork design with better brakes. We've also added some Rizoma bars, grips & mirrors as well as a twin headlight conversion. The bike also rides on considerably lighter OZ racing wheels. Next up is some new paint & more power, stay tuned....

It's been a busy week, we've managed to finish off the turbo headers, these are made from 316 grade heavy wall stainless & a custom CNC machined 316 stainless header plate. This header will give us great flow & plenty of support for the turbo.  Next we'll be looking at the radiator & the up pipe from the turbo. The plan is for a water to air intercooler setup also. 

We have started building the custom turbo kit for the R1, all the parts for the conversion have arrived, now the fabrication begins.

On this bike we are using a Tial stainless exhaust housing & as you can see it's considerably lighter & more compact than the standard Garrett item, the turbo is a Garrett GT2871. We are also using a Turbosmart Compgate 40 wastegate so the internal gate is not required.

We put the R1 on the Dyno to see what it made before the turbo system was fitted & it made 178.7 RWHP on the Dyno Dynamics dyno. Currently the bike has a full Akrapovic exhaust system K&N filter & an AFR Tuner fitted.
