FJ1500 Turbo EFI Katanaha Project, with a whiff of Nitrous...

Home brew fixtures. Take a perfectly good XJR FPR and hack it up.



Smooth it off, we can use that.

Milk and one sugar please Tom.
Once I can get some money back in the bank,im going to try to pull things together,so I too can have a bike in the garage pictured!!! For me,messing about (which is all it is)with turbo's and bits of stainless pipe etc is probably not going to get me very far. Far better I give the man who can a carrier bag of used 20 pound notes,and ride in,ride out.  Then,once Im in your area,it would be great if i was able to come and drool and dribble all over your bike.
i love it,i love it ilove it!!! Theres a new air cooled suzuki site online now,catering for erm..air cooled stuff,which I also love,but what a shock they'll get when i stick a yam engine into a suzuki frame. i'll be banished from the site.
Keep the good work up,and post some more please.
It would be interesting to see what FBM could do with an FJ12?

Know John from ACS quite well, he helped me at the AutoJumble in Newark last Sunday. Initially I did ask Minxy if I could detail the Katanaha build on OSS but it was suggested it wouldn't be appropriate which is why it ended up on Phil's OSP site. 

[dixiethedog]

I'll get banished.
I even suggested a section for your other projects/bikes,as a lot of folk have more than one bike,but the idea was declined. But FBJ seems like a nice chap.

The post man delivered a big box today which I think must contain  your Katana bodywork? I havent opened it yet. We'll get it looking lovely.

Superb Dixie, will send the decals up tomorrow, cheers man   

[dixiethedog]

Cheers Brett, £1800's a little rich for me though bud 

I'll be making up a billet outrigger bearing plate for the final drive shaft so the original sproket cover won't be used. I thought I'd tidy up the oilfilter housing.



Linished to look like brushed aluminium but I think I'll polish it out.



Then brought the lot back home.



A good day. and Forest won 2-0.

  You must have been talking to FBM. 1800 a bit steep.
How are you doing your outrigger bearing support plate?? I did one a a few years back for my GSX1260EFE (gs1150e),but Im re-doing it,as the design was rubbish. It worked ok,but was untidy.
Im in the start process of a rebuild of the bike,so its a job on my list to do.
Id love to be able to make nice stuff like this,but i dont think ive the skill's yet.



I spotted this a long time ago online,but im not sure where? Its an aftermarket cover thing for an FJ. Nice. But not an outrigger.


Back to my old cover.

[Havoc]

Morning Brett, yes spotted the conversation on 'turbo bike'  . The plate will be along the same lines as yours. I'm just supplying the measurements and a chap called Sam up near Market Weighton/Poklington way will hopefully CNC me something up. Dave's sorting it as part of the payment for the lathe. He'll be doing the pickup cover and the small cover on the othe side of the crank as well. His stuff is always the dogs so I'm very much leaving it up to him.

As threatened a while ago (I mean promised!    ) here's a little clutch porn for you...

Clutch Porn

Now that really is something to aspire to, beautiful dude, very impressed.

[fj1289]

Definitely not my work!  Wheel spacers are about the most difficult things I've made on my little lathe that I've actually used in anger.

From haysmachineworks.com. Tim was willing to do a one-off for the FJ. These are amazing clutches - an engine driven clutch capable of being used in multiple modes. I'm using it as a multi stage clutch.
