We will also be intercooling the setup with a custom built intercooler, The core was sourced from Vibrant, with alumnium piping of course!
There will also be a VDO scavenge pump to keep oil backup from happening and smoking the seals in the turbo.
Our fuel of choice is E85, since I live about 3 blocks from the E85 station in our area. I also contacted Barnett Clutches and sourced a set of 80LB springs for the 2018 slipper clutch, while they do not offer them in the catalog they can get them for you.
All the flanges are Vibrant Stainless steel units, as their quality is superb and will make sure we don't run into any issues with warpage.
So far, I have started the bike on the injectors ( N/A of course, on pump gas) and we have got the hotside manifold mostly finished, going to go build the dump pipes tonight for the exhaust and wastegate. We decided to keep the turbo in the front instead of rear mounted like the extreme creations kit for ease of fitment, short routing of intercooler piping and short exhaust.
Honestly, as long as the motor holds together, north of 220whp. I think with the size of the turbo, and e85, we can accomplish this on lower boost than pump and a smaller turbo. The setup was designed to be efficient.
Mocked up the intercooler, it fits like a glove under the tank! Probably not the most efficient design, but I think we may run a nitrous spray bar to cool it before the runs.
Got the inter-cooler mocked up, and welded, Need to weld the three throttle body tubes on, and the inlet pipe, blow off valve flange, and charge pipe. We are re doing one leg of the manifold, It moved during welding, and didn't line up, and we didn't like the look of it, so we are making it right!
Ladies and Gent's.... check out the video of the first race the bike had... Still needs quite a bit of tuning, and more boost, but here it is pinned up against a 1,050 whp UGR twin turbo viper. It was a 60 roll and he finally catches me about 145 mph, I also had a hard time getting it to shift into 4th.

As the title says I am wanting to do a mild conversion of my 2016 Fz-09 to a dual Sport. I am going If start riding more gravel roads and am looking for appropriate tires. I have been looking at the shinko 704. my issue that I see is the Rim is 180 and the widest they make is 170. I have never...
Sorry I e been fairly quiet. Got one of those GF things for a hot minute, then realized she rank high on the C/H scale.
Anyways, tossed on some woodcraft rearsets which weren’t really that much of a pain and now I have the Christmas gift in May:
trying to figure out if the banjo bolt goes down...
So probably since last season I have invested...A LOT(than my bank account cares to admit) into it. The ultimate goal is to make this formidable weapon on the track yet comfy for long street rides.
All together below is a listing of everything i have done since November:
