Oh and as far as sound. It is not loud. Its quieter then when I was running that same can without the turbo. But the combo of can and turbo quieted it down a bit

Precisely...... turbos are excellent silencers in their own right.

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

Muffler looks good there , maybe take a picture of you sitting on the bike so we can see the riding position.

I will get a pic of me on it when I get back to my shop in a few days. My leg at a stand still and riding position lands in front of muffler and behind charge pipe pretty damn close to perfect. Everything is mock until the following winter inevitably. Build through winter ride through summer,repeat.

Mark Olson

Yup, winter for projects , the rest of the year for riding. :good2:

I rode it.
GREAT! And you are going to just leave us in suspence? How did it ride? Were you happy with it? Did you go very fast? Inquiring minds want to know more!  Dave
A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

The suspense was a plan. So I will leave you with one bit of info for now.. rear tire lit up in 4th gear.

Was snowed in yesterday so after I ordered the wideband I got carried away and ordered fuel pump and blow off valve and new boost gauge.

Pat Conlon

Do have a idea how much boost you're running? Wastegate setting?
The wideband will be critical for safe tuning...the tricky part will be getting your carb jetting right. Sometimes Fuel injection is so much easier.

8 psi. Fuel injection is way easier.. when it's already fuel injected. One day I may do it when the wallet will allow. Blow through is simple enough. I'm kind of doing it as a purposeful learning experience. If someone wants me to boost their bike and pay for it without fi I will have some experience to sell them. After one season of riding I would like to get into the mega squirt. I actually was arguing with myself today about how much room I could save with one throttle body pre manifold and injectors on runners. But like I said next winter, riding season is rapidly approaching.

Wideband and boost gauge came in the mail today but I promised my wife I would take her to a movie tonight so it will have to wait till tomorrow. I'm expecting more parts to arrive tomorrow at the shop anyway.

This is awesome. I just lucked out and got a nos Fj turbo kit off fleebay. I could never build the whole thing like your doing.
Being new to turbos. Other than the one in my f250.
Wondering what wideband and boost gauge would be best... What did you get and why?
Thanks Dan

i got a sunpro boost gauge because it was cheapest i could get with still decent reviews and thats the same reason i got the apsx d2 wideband. cheap but still comes with quality bosch sensor and good reviews.

welded the bung for the wideband sensor today.
