There's something missing from behind the side panels.............the big hole needs filling up with something ;-)

Turbo Kats alive sounds awesome. Only ran it for 25 secs. Got no oil coming from the turbo drain. Have i not run it long enough?

It can take a while to pump through,... but i'd have thought you should have it coming out after 25 secs. Check your oil feed pipe into turbo just to make sure it is feeding it ok. Is the turbo oil return at the lowest possible point you can fit it at. R u running uprated oil pump gears.
Looking foreward to seeing your bike in the mag.

Ok so i just pulled plug caps off. Disconnected the feed and cranked. Took like 10 secs to see oil then there was a air bubble then loads of oil. Connected back up and cranked till oil came out of the drain. Then fired her up. Oil is coming out only a steady stream. Not a fast flow. How should it be ?

Steady flow.. they only run low oil pressure don't they. What size is your turbo oil feed pipe. If I remember correctly mines #6.
Bought Practical Sports bike mag,.. not read it yet though, im trying to hold out to read it tomorrow at work at snap time.

I think i went 6mm or 8mm feed and bigger return

by **DEANOTEK** » Thu Apr 17, 2014 8:17 pm

Should be fine then,.. mines #6 feed & #8 return,.. no problems.
Going to get Kat on road next month. Ive fitted the Triumph rear caliper, so hoping for a good brake on the back, the mini Harrison one was crap. The front Harrison 6 pot calipers are evil though. :shock:
