Awesome job man, that is absolutely clean and looks mean as hell. Nice fabricating too, I love where the turbo is and how stealthy it is. aside from the bov. Beast!
Really, really well done! lot of work results ! Please try to make more videos for the details for your modifications: shocks, exhaust, chain conversion, lighting, etc
Currently running 15psi but have it tuned as high as 19psi. The old clutch slipped under full power so I turned it down temporarily. I have a new clutch setup in there now that I will exercise on the dyno in the new few weeks to see what it will hold.
By Far the best sounding and looking xb12 ever man. Well done! How does the chain feel compared to the belt? Ever consider dressing her up in carbon fiber?
Looks nice. I see how you added the extra O2 sensor up front. Do you get any clutch slippage with the extra Hp? Perhaps with a barnet clutch no need to worry.
Kevin Norman It's actually an EGT thermocouple in the front header pipe. I have gone through many clutch setups trying to get things to hold. I am currently using a Barnett Scorpion clutch with CF plates and 540lbs of spring. It has held the most but still slips under full boost. I have 600lbs of spring but the lever pull is just too difficult for the street. Yes, hydraulic was considered but I'm holding off until I finish my new design for the clutch setup. Should give me easy lever pull and huge holding capacity.
I love your bike, I've got a 2009 xb12s myself. I want to turbo mine as well, how far can you push the stock fuel system? Also, how long till the internals failed when you first started? I'd like to just do a basic turbo on mine and only drop in low comp pistons. Hopefully be able to get to 150hp and 120tq like the original Diablo.
Thanks! Stock fuel system can support ~110whp. There are several ways to give the fuel system additional hp capacity which your engine management strategy should define. My stock 2005 bottom end handled ~187whp/149ft-lbs without failure, but I can't say how long it would have lasted. The failure was due to operator error. Your 2009 has a better crankshaft & rods too. Forged pistons are a great idea, but no need to drop compression. I just built a turbo XB12 with 150whp/137ft-lbs with 9.6:1 CR + 13psi boost using the same crank&rods you have + off the shelf forged pistons. Tuning and proper design are the most important factors! Cometic MLS head gaskets are necessary too.
ezracing900 , thanks for the reply, that's very helpful. You are definitely the best resource for turbo xb's. It's hard to find go information on these bikes anymore.
I haven't painted them. I have just kept them very clean. Even I am surprised with how glossy they have stayed. I have seen many other well cared for XBs with black plastics that are not nearly as glossy.
Cheers, mine have stayed reasonably good although I don't think that come anywhere near your standard. I hit them with some cutting compound and it took scratches out of the rear seat cover. Didn't want to get stuck into them too hard in case it actually took the gloss away.
I sold it a few years ago. After building the 1st turbo setup for it in 2006, I put over 25k miles on it over 13 years. During those 13 years, I upgraded/changed the setup several times. initially, the setup ran ~12 psi of boost, but the final and most recent/powerful build ran 22psi. Each of the build phases used the same Garrett GT2252 turbo with a few different turbine housings/wategate setups and some minor compressor cover modifications.
Very few options to change gearing with the belt drive. The chain drive sprockets were much easier to find and gave me far more final drive ratio options.
Didn't you have the turbo on the top left of the engine originally? And how is your engine management set up? Is it ECM controlled or just a bunch of piggyback stuff?
I sure did. I mounted the turbo below the motor around 2008 and it keeps evolving. I have modified the factory ECM to adjust fueling based on manifold pressure and use an electronic boost controller. There are no piggyback systems on the bike. I am currently working on reprogramming a newer DDFI-3 ECM to work with the cam position sensor. Once I have that working, I will have much better control over fueling and ignition timing, not that it is bad now. It currently runs great with the modified DDFI-2 ECM but the newer DDFI-3 ECM will offer some major refinements.
I have LEDs for check engine, oil pressure, neutral, and low fuel on either side of the gauges. I dont have a speedometer but I know approximate speeds based on gear and rpm.
They are a pair of Gloworm X2 LED lights. Not DOT approved but fit well within the fairing openings and throw a lot of light. They require additional electronics to drop the bike voltage to ~7.2V as well.
you have a 180hp motorcycle but your (what we call scaredycat-stripes) unnused tires on the are huge. I guess there are not a lot of good turns where you live
ezracing900 Hello friend, some time ago I got in touch with you regarding the transmission kit that rode his Buell. Could I pass the material specifications used in crowns (or are other bike?), And which motorcycle drive chain is? I am here in Brazil with my stop Buell, and would like to know how did is adaptation. If you can give me all I thank you. If I can put this kit on the market here, give you a percentage on each sale, Ok?
This is my old system. Fuel system was 80 lb/hr injectors with Walbro 255 lph fuel pump and Turbosmart FPR. New fuel system will be 2x 60 lb/hr primary injectors + 2x 80 lb/hr secondary injectors + ECM controlled PWM fuel pressure regulation + Racetronix turbine fuel pump. Old system ran ~22psi of boost and new will be about the same but lots of other changes/improvements.
ezracing900 Thank you very much fpr the reply! i actually live near East troy WI where buell is. My v rod uses stock fuel pump and injectors. tapped a reference hole to the backside of the FPR and ran a line to the compressor side of the turbo. injectors are maxed out but keeps up with the 9psi. garrett T3 of a 89 saab rebuilt by Precision 36 rear ar turbine housing 60trim front of svo 4cyl mustamg t3 turbo. kind of. a frankenstein but it works great. Stock engine is 11.3 compression so 9psi is about as high as i can run without less compression n its fast enough. I am very interested in turboing my new XB12scg. be great to here your take on what turbo , wastegate, ect to run with a certaim goal in mind. New bike is an 09 xb12scg. Thanks again for the reply. love buells coupe other buddys have em. rschlieve454@gmail
Hit 186hp a while ago at 19psi with a slipping clutch. I have a new clutch setup in there now that I will test in the next few weeks. It should put 200+hp to the rear wheel
damn.. I got 2 XBs 9SX modified and 12R modified.. I actually like my 9SX better than my 12R on the street.. Im thinking about bumping up my 9s horsepower though.. maybe heads and cams or something.. not sure what it would all cost.. I really am only looking for like 110hp at the rear wheel..
Awesome job man, that is absolutely clean and looks mean as hell. Nice fabricating too, I love where the turbo is and how stealthy it is. aside from the bov. Beast!
I thought I had a nice custom Buell........yours is sick! Love the turbo set up you have.
Really, really well done! lot of work results !
Please try to make more videos for the details for your modifications: shocks, exhaust, chain conversion, lighting, etc
This video got me into buells thanks,😁😁
awesome looking XB
It looks like a bad ass motorcycle. I like the way it has that transformer head!
Oh boy, very nice work. Congrats.
Love everything about this bike,my friend might sell me his 07 xb12! fingers crossed
This machine is sick, awesome. (Buell Blast owner).
Oh hell yes. Chain drive. Buells make some of the best Street fighters. How much boost ?
Currently running 15psi but have it tuned as high as 19psi. The old clutch slipped under full power so I turned it down temporarily. I have a new clutch setup in there now that I will exercise on the dyno in the new few weeks to see what it will hold.
I’m guessing the front fairing is custom? Looks so dope
Cleanest turbo buell ever. So clean
Absolutely stunning build , 👌 what bars are you running @ericZ
Sick looking ride man!! Where is the gas cap from. I tired of having to use a flip'n key.
This has got to be one of the sexiest xb ever! What lamp mask is that?
And I'll repost this video without the TH-cam edits. It gets kind of funky in some parts.
Clean Bike dude!! Awsome work
By Far the best sounding and looking xb12 ever man. Well done! How does the chain feel compared to the belt? Ever consider dressing her up in carbon fiber?
Looks good in all black , I'm doing my Fireolt in simeler look at the moment.
Looks nice. I see how you added the extra O2 sensor up front. Do you get any clutch slippage with the extra Hp? Perhaps with a barnet clutch no need to worry.

how did you mount the iron man mask? Love your work wite the buell 🤘🤘🤘🤘
where you bought this headlight mask ? its looking so god
Strong up grade 💪
You got it on the dyno? How much did it make? Awesome bike by the way! 👍🤘
is that the long swing on the short frame with the short seat? Awesome looking bike!
Great looking build. Kudos.
I bet that thing pulls hard one boost builds.
Very nice . Love it
crazy buell!
Wear did you get your turbo at. I am looking for one
Makes me wonder how it held up...
Sick. Just sick.
So jealous. Wish I could do something like this with my xb
I came for the Buell, stayed for the 240 wagon!
Looks and sounds kick ass
How did you do the oil return to the bike being it under the bike I really want to do this to my xb12 but unsure about the turbo so low
I used an electric oil scavenge pump, a Marco UP2, to pull the oil from the turbo drain and pump it into the oil tank in the swingarm.
Could I get a little information on the turbo used for this build please
Can you tell me where to find the headlight? thanks
Showyomoto
Know it's a silly question but... How much does it cost?
That headlight setup is sick! It looks like the predator lol What kind is it or where can i buy it for my bike?
Amazing!
Where I can found the ( mask)?
This was from showyomoto.com, but this was ~10 years ago! Not sure if and where you can find this mask these days
@@ezracing900 ty from Italy!
Mean! Love it :)
When you decide to sell it let me know
Eu adorei esta buell

Hi mate, looks awesome! where did you get the windshield? thx
Thanks! The front mask is from Shoyomoto. They are a Canadian company
TODO SE TREMENDO
very tasteful! effin'Buelltiful!
Amazing! Did you paint the plastics? looks like they have a lot of gloss

Dove hai acquistato i fari anteriori?
How did you do the chain conversion?
Hi, where did you get the rev counter? thanks
do you still own this bike? how many miles did you put on the bike after the turbo? what boost level did you run it at? are you using a t-25 turbo?
I sold it a few years ago. After building the 1st turbo setup for it in 2006, I put over 25k miles on it over 13 years. During those 13 years, I upgraded/changed the setup several times. initially, the setup ran ~12 psi of boost, but the final and most recent/powerful build ran 22psi. Each of the build phases used the same Garrett GT2252 turbo with a few different turbine housings/wategate setups and some minor compressor cover modifications.
I know it is a old video but why are you choosing for a chain drive instead of a belt?
Very few options to change gearing with the belt drive. The chain drive sprockets were much easier to find and gave me far more final drive ratio options.
so cool
magnifique jouer
De dónde eres, para que este la matrícula homologada asii???
Me permite ir al bano por favor

When you get your maps figured out, I'd love to have a copy, I'll even pay you for them.
I don't think I'll share my maps but if you have any specific questions, let me know
Where was you speedometer and indicators for blinkers and engine lights and stuff like that?
I have LEDs for check engine, oil pressure, neutral, and low fuel on either side of the gauges. I dont have a speedometer but I know approximate speeds based on gear and rpm.
ezracing900 dude that's how I'm driving my car right now, just rpm baby, getting tired of it though😁
ezracing900 But maybe a little tiny digital speedometer would fit in the middle of the handlebars?
no need for it and extra gadgets add complexity, extra wires, and more hassle. I only have what I need
Where did you get those headlights? And what are they called?
They are a pair of Gloworm X2 LED lights. Not DOT approved but fit well within the fairing openings and throw a lot of light. They require additional electronics to drop the bike voltage to ~7.2V as well.
Are those headlights oem?
No, they are Gemini Duo led lights in a custome fairing and electrical setup
you have a 180hp motorcycle but your (what we call scaredycat-stripes) unnused tires on the are huge. I guess there are not a lot of good turns where you live
hello friend, I wonder where I can find this kit regarding current
This kit is not available. It is a custom 1-off setup that I made.

Me likey!
No speedometer because you can outrun the law enfircement
What bars are those?
ProTaper SE bars, RM Low bend
wow! unreal.
Great fucking look
Fukr looks mean. I have a xb9s and a vrod with a scratch built turbo. what is this running for boost and fuel system. im at 9psi on stock injectors.
This is my old system. Fuel system was 80 lb/hr injectors with Walbro 255 lph fuel pump and Turbosmart FPR. New fuel system will be 2x 60 lb/hr primary injectors + 2x 80 lb/hr secondary injectors + ECM controlled PWM fuel pressure regulation + Racetronix turbine fuel pump.

what is your front break ?
That big disc
hooked up. looks angry and ready to flip you on your back haha.
Nza buell
Where's the oil pressure gauge??
no gauge, just a low oil pressure light
ezracing900 still a badass build. Well done.
what kind of numbers do you think that XB is putting out now? Mabye 140hp?
Hit 186hp a while ago at 19psi with a slipping clutch. I have a new clutch setup in there now that I will test in the next few weeks. It should put 200+hp to the rear wheel
damn... a lot hotter than I thought . how much did all the mods end up costing you?
Depends how far I go back:). If I were to build what I have now again, I think it would run around $15-20k
damn.. I got 2 XBs 9SX modified and 12R modified.. I actually like my 9SX better than my 12R on the street.. Im thinking about bumping up my 9s horsepower though.. maybe heads and cams or something.. not sure what it would all cost.. I really am only looking for like 110hp at the rear wheel..
Cool. I've read your posts on BuellXB.
Dyno numbers?
In its most recent format, she put down 181 whp & 172 ft-lbs
Nice ride.
Oh, wait 0:26 is it an chicken stripes? -_-
My buddy has an XB9. You need to start doing some serious vlogs. I'll promote our channel. :)
Sorry. Eric's front end choice looks better.
fuckin nice
Minchia se è balla mi sono innamorato della buell😘😍🕶
watch out it bites
Headlight is awful...other than that, it's a great looking bike...
Sexiest Buell ever
bad sir
I'll bet you a 'Goats In Trees 2018 Calendar' that I could smoke you on my 675.
A1Zealot Haha DR! Miss ya man!!
I wouldnt let it idle too long.....lol
sounds like a lawn mower.
lmao
bad bike
