you too, maliboost..

Yes, it's my plan. I would like to go to Loring next years for break 200mph. I will prepare my bike this winter for pass the tech inspection (steering damper, kill switch, oil catch can and more). I will go with my motor have forged turbo pistons. I will work on for finish the motor this winter and i want run with this motor next year.

good! i'll see you there!

i know the head guys for the ECTA and most of the record setters for the ECTA stuff, so any questions ya have, i'd be glad to help. i have al lthe rules at my fingertips and know all the right people to hook you up with.

we all stayed at the caribou in just outside of limestone.. VERY nice place.

track is the most gorgeous track in america. 1.5 mile run, 1 mile to shut down, big pit and staging are, 3 lanes of staging. the concrete of the track is 8 feet thick!! it's serious.

i'm hoping to have the turbo 7-R done, tuned and there.
if now, at least it'll be N/A and i'll be with a bunch of 12-R and turbo busa guys like this last race.

heres some pics on another thread of the track and some bikes. i don't know what happened to some of those pics tho.

nice exhaust, mine isnt as pretty, i just cut my stock midpipe and used that for the pipe, used the outer for the turbine outlet and the inner part of the pipe for the wastegate,

what are you using for a clutch kawi? I need a lockup, i have new factory steels and frictions and while i havent confirmed it feels like it slipped in 6th the other night, hard to test as it only happens above 160 or so

i dont know how much power i'm making but i'm at the same boost as the car i took the turbo off

those make 195

they gain 10whp with open exhaust so probably 12 fwhp

they have 7.8 compression, i'm a tad over 10 figure 4% per point, so thats another 20

that and my engine is a whole lot more efficient at making power I'd guess i'm around 225whp

sure feels fast

Wow, you're bike is seriously ridiculous. Looks like a sleeper but sure doesn't sound like one. Great job!

Thanks for the thread, nice pics.

I never go to loring, but i know it's a very good track (1,5 mile) and place. I spoke with dean on another forum. I checked all rull bike and if i need more information , i will tell you. Thanks. I hope you will be there with your ZX7R Turbo. Do you know the date for 2010 ?

I have two clutch. Stock factory steels and frictions with brock springs (GSXR1000) and second barnett with special order orient express ZX6R springs. But the brock are stiffer. Now, i run with stock clutch and brock springs with 9 psi. I never had slipping clutch, but only one time there is 2 weeks on very warm day 92 F. I shifted my gears 3-4-5 with wide open throttle, just snaping the clutch and slipped a little bit. But, since this time never slipping. I run this clutch since few years. I don't checked my clutch. But, i ordered a new factory clutch (steels and frictions).

I don't have slipping clutch with 11 psi boost. I don't know how much horse power i have ? You have a bigger turbo than me, you will probally out put more power than me as same boost. I already spoke with another guy with ZX9 turbo 25-27 psi and he had muzzy clutch with some difference thinkness steel plates, don't know springs and he told me don't have slipping clutch problem. What oil you running in your engine ? Have you trying mineral oil not synthetic ? It's will be help you ?

i had some 20w50 in it at that time, 15w40 now, dont know if the weight makes a difference, but i run mineral oil

I run with Kawasaki synthetic motor oil 15W50 since few years. Today, i removed my clutch for inspection the frictons and steel plates. All parts are in good shape. But, i replaced by my barnett clutch. I went to ride this after noon for test the clutch with my straight exhaust and the clutch don't slip. I will do more test this week.
