Brought one home

[FJ1200W]

It's been in storage for a couple of years.









The thought is to pull the motor, check the internals (big bore, aftermarket cams, carillo rods, head work, etc), reinstall the starter and transplant it into my stock looking FJ.

Then, freshen that motor for future use.

Sounds like a good plan. There are a lot of go fast stuff to play with in your photos.

Was it  Turbo bike? Single intake. What you going to do with the intake? I wouldn't mind taking it off your hands.

The previous owner was building it to be a turbo bike before he passed away.

He made some adapters, need to pull it off to see if the stock intakes will go back on.

I'm not wanting to let it go at this time, may decide to use it

Glad I kept the flat slides

Thanks Fred, I'm optimistic the internals will be good. Cautiously so.

Also have tubs and tubs of parts, you've seen most of them posted over the years, it's about time to do something with it all.

Will do, you can have first right of refusal.











Appears to of had some port work







Some of the pictures are upside down - photobucket is behaving very poorly of late.......

[giantkiller]

Wow nice port job. I'm envious. I have a nice manifold that came with the turbo kit. But it just clamps into the stock boots. If I ever get serious. And crank up the boost. Might have a really large blow off valve.
Local sled racer claims he's running peak boost @ 36 psi on his rx1 motor. Watched him run 144mph in 600ft.on bad ice.(was snowing hard) The guy who built his turbo motor. Is getting 628hp out of his rx1. He 1/4 miles his sled on asphalt.

Supposedly the guy put a lot of work into the motor, hopefully the rest looks as promising.

If you have any extra aftermarket exhausts in decent condition, I'd entertaining making a trade of sorts.

Amazing how much boost is being run these days!

[giantkiller]

I gave the one I had to Randy Thompson (not a lib) before he passed. He had a project bike he was working on. Or I definitely would have.
Yah computer control is amazing.

[FJ1200W]

Had a great call today - the signed title was located and we're working out the details.

I'm cautiously happy!

[FJ1200W]

Another call for the address to mail the title too - we're getting close!

On another note, had this arrive today:



I did not do my homework, it appears the stock footpegs are riveted on.

No big deal, just had not planned well.

Live and learn!
