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. 

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.

The next project we are undertaking is finishing off this 2009 R1 streetfighter,so far the owner Brock has already removed the fairings fitted a full Akrapovic exhaust system, Ohlins suspension, Carrozzeria wheels, an AFR tuner, K&N filter, FZ1 Headlight, as well as many billet bolt on goodies, he also designed the triple clamps & had us machine them up for him.  After seeing the ZX10R turbo we recently completed the turbo bug hit & he's decided to go all out, on the list of things to do is to fabricate & fit a complete intercooled turbo system, 240 rear wheel conversion with one of our custom Billet +6" swingarms, a custom radiator, fit up lots of supplied trick carbon fibre & billet parts & general finishing off of the bike.
