The only downside is riding in the rain on the "slicks" it comes with is an interesting feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2015 seems to be better yet again in every way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeroflow -12 feed and -8 return lines, custom billet fuel rail all anodized to deal with methanol, boost sending fuel press reg and ID2000 injectors.The system was designed with plenty of head room for further upgrades later on.Here's the magic.TD04 with a Tial external waste gate.Its relatively small so gets up on boost quick.I believe I can go to TD05 internals when it comes time to upgrade.But itll get rods and pistons first.Out and into the ute.Ready to drop off to my tuner tonight.He'll flip it upside down and open the bottom end up tomorrow and have a look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Lucky I got the big fuel system hey ?)We’ll stick high volume oil pump gears in it to go along with the 60psi high pressure relief valve already in there.I’m undecided on pistons. Common sense tells me to go forged, but we think the stock pistons that are in it which have been ceramic coated on the crowns and moly coated skirts, combined with alcohol fuel are likely up to the job, we're seeking advice on that.But the smart money would just buy forgies and be done with it. But hey, I never said I was smart.Watch this space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing has been revamped a heap of times.Today though it let us down.My mate fitted a new clutch cable and mentioned there was a new rattle coming from the clutch.1/2 hour into our ride, a ball bearing in the clutch blew apart, leaving us to limp home without being able to use the clutch.Threw her up on the bench and opened up the primary. Theres a heap of metal filings, balls and bits of bearing cage in there, but a good strip and clean, $30 worth of parts and it'll be good to go again.Such a sweet bike this is.Probably will never be sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
