my fj1200t turbo bike build

[giantkiller]

Ok so I accidentally got a turbo kit off eBay. A while ago. NOS RB racing complete kit.  For $1500. Put the bid in didn't expect to win. Oh shit now I have to come up with $1500 bucks.... Borrowed from my 401k(daughters inheritance)

I thought I've got the crashed 87 with a motor that only has 865miles on it I'll put it on that. And since I can't get a title. I'll make a drag toy.... But boy it sure would be nice to take it on the road (legally). And embarrass some busas and the like with a 29 year old bike with a collectors plate on it. So I just picked up a rough 86 with a title for$600.
And now begins the long drawn out build up.
First some damage picks of the bikehttp://fjowners.com/gallery/8/2349_17_12_14_9_36_42_4.jpeg[/img]

OK I think I've got the pics figured out.
Now for the turbo mock up to see where everything sits

Missed one

Good find, hopefully with the good motor from the '87 and the good title for the '86 you will have enough good plastic to give it a great paint job. Waiting with baited breath for this build thread.

Yah, Fred just getting started. Still kicking ideas around. I'm going to use the plastic that came with this bike. Going to fill in all the missing chunks with plastex. And thinking of painting it midnight blue. Like the 89. But finding a color with a slight bit more blue metal flake. And then try and ghost all the stock graphics in red. Going to also maybe try and make an aluminum gas tank under a faux shell. Posts will probably be very spread out. Got to collect the money along the way and then get the parts.
I've already got a Snow performance boost cooler. Just trying to figure out where to put the pump and tank for that is going to take a while.

FJ with a turbo. That will be one very interesting bike. Good luck with your build. Please keep us up to date.

Yah the 1350 is pretty interesting. This if I can get it done. Ought to be down right nuts. Going to be a short drive kinda bike. Rip around every once in a while. And take it to the drag strip to ever so often. To try and scare myself.

Awesome project ,, should be a blast.

your snow injection kit is referenced by a boost switch? the one on my audi is referenced off the map sensor.

[giantkiller]

Yah boost switch. I wish I would have known. RB racing that made the turbo kit. Makes a water/methanol injection for bikes. But now I have $280 into the snow kit.

This looks interesting Dan. I look forward to your progress.

Do you have clearance on the left side from the heat on your leg?

Both of those pipes are gonna be hot hot.

[giantkiller]

They both have heat shields. But I'm sure it's still going to be warm. I'm going to ceramic coat every thing satin black. Should help some too.
