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

[JMR]

Enough nitrous does the same thing. I ran adapter plates for the nozzles but I do not think they are available anymore.

If you refer to the APE parts, you are correct, they're out of stock and not making more.  They were really nothing special though, it'd be quite easy to make your own, which will help you clear the starter if you use braided lines.

I agree. I ended up moving the nozzle locations too.

Done.





Happy with that 

fantastic, how much are you charging for more of these

No plans to make more, barely have time after work to get my bike sorted.

Easy job for your local engineers with Yamaha having kindly supplied the removable circular middle bit though. The Plexiglas and ally cost me about £15.

Fitted..





Happy with that. Onwards and upwards, time to wire the old girl up.

And then fit your new paint,which is still under way as I type. I shall mail you regarding positioning of decals.

WooHoo, I'll bung up some photos of original bikes with sticker positions. Forgot about the 'Sleipnir' thing though.

Happy New Year man.

Awesome build thread!

Awesome build thread!

Thanks man. Today wasn't really FJ motor related but was pretty exclusively Yamaha. Need to mount the R1 Calliper so it bites straight on the disk on the EXUP wheel mounted in a 1979 HARRIS arm with 12" slots..

1. Make plate, drawing.



2. Hacksaw then file..



3. Tap it for M10 1.25 calliper bolts, I don't use stainless for these, probably urban myth but don't like the idea of searing boolts.



4. R1 Calliper





5. Gonna fit here.



6. Then stick it together with Blue Glue (plenty of perheat and quite an aggresive ampage with a 3mm filler rod)



Bobs yer uncle and no torque arm to mess up the lines..

[dixiethedog]

Nice tidy modication there Tom. Inspired by your clutch cover Im making one for Ace, from Ace of sprays bike painters. He apparently paints bikes. He's a very nice bloke too.

[fj11.5]

nice work mate, hope to find someone as skilled with a welder as you when i need my xjr swing arm mods done

[Havoc]

Milled up to make it a bit more 'engineered' looking rather than 'agricultural'.



Got the old mop and soap out, black snot and Panda eyes are us..

1/2 wat through.





Got bored after an hour, that'll do.



In situ.



Happy with that.

Hey Havoc,

It's really function over form, but that looks great.

It would appear I'm a tart, who'd have known.....4 weeks until fire up, the interresting bit....

.....4 weeks until fire up, the interresting bit....

That's only the beginning of the interesting bits -- as you surely know!

What did you you for gaskets and sealant for the bigblock?  Copper and copper coat spray?  I tried using hylomer, but I'm getting leakage at the base gasket (and maybe at the head from the cam chain tunnel)

Gasgacinch works too.
