My new turbo Kat project

by **FBJ admin** » Fri Feb 21, 2014 8:03 am

Got the rest of the pipes for the turbo yesterday. Waste gate to plenum is braided because of the heat. Plenum to boost gauge is nylon.
When i finish work today i will be straight on it. Hope to fabricate the whole rear brake assembly and sort and fit the lock up

Looking forward to seeing this finished. Are you taking this bike to the Manchester show?

Got a lot done this weekend. front brakes bleed and feel awesome.
Rear CRF400 rear master cyl, cheers to FBM for alloy welding. They look really cool.
Also fitted the lock up clutch, including the buttons to avoid wear.

I cant remember mate. It worked ok on the 1170 na Kat. Question for you Clive. My turbo drain. It will have a slight incline in the pipe. Will it be a issue.

As long as its running down and not up it should not be an issue.....

Mine was nearly flat across the gearbox case then down into the cover ..never had any issues ..........

Had a great weekend on the turbo Katana, prepped and painted the rear caliper, my lad did the torque, cheers Jack ( my apprentice). I think it looks great and bled up nicely
