- So here is the new Suzuki Bandit 1200 Project bike. The plan is to turbo the motorcycle, it's going to need an engine rebuild and some TIG welding and will be a learning process for Shroom.
This week I make my first ever merge collector, its certainly been a learning curve!
Videos live Sunday evenings at 8pm(ish)

Nice work dude! I’ve got a turbo Bandit myself mate,the difference between N/A and turbo is hard to get across...you’re gonna love it.
Hi Spike, good to hear from a turbo bandit owner. I can’t wait to try it for the first time. Have you done much to your bandit apart from the turbo?
Engine wise it’s been taken out to 1216 with ‘Busa pistons,manual cam chain tensioner,the top end oil feed conversion and a lock up clutch. It’s running a Garret GT28 turbo,all done by FBM.
I love it. I can’t wait to put some miles under it now we can move about a bit more. It’s not even run in yet!
That’s my plan to go 1216 with Busa pistons and a lock up clutch. Dave is just down the road from me, love the work he does.
Yeah,he certainly knows his stuff. He’s a top bloke too. I’ll look forward to seeing yours finished mate.
Hello , what turbo u usin and how much to do conversion plz ? Cheerz
I've really enjoyed watching series 2 of bandit oclock, also just bought a 1200 bandit that needs work, so watching you take one apart ( i've no mechanical experince ) has been brilliant, hope you keep upload dude, keep it up !
I've been binge watching the first Bandit O'clock series in the past two days and those are nothing compared to the film quality step up you've taken! It's a tedious job but worth it! Keep on going Ian.
P.S. My first bike was a Bandit 650 so watching the series tickles something inside.
WOW thank you for the feedback really does mean a lot. I'll keep going don't worry and hopefully keep improving. 😎
Great to see you back! Really enjoy your uploads,looking forward to hearing it spin up.
Thanks it’s good to be back. Can’t wait to hear it myself!
Glad to see the project continue
Thanks Buddy, will have a new video soon 👍
This is gonna be so awesome, keep up the good work mate!
Thank you for the kind words, good to see you are still watching 👍😎
Looks proper that want a turbo bike following this build subbed
Thanks Lee, it's a steep learning curve but I'm enjoying it, just taking a little longer than I had hoped.
😎✌ excellent.. back in business..
Mannn I was waiting for this to happen..
Thanks Jay, good to be back and good to be learning something new
A true master at work !
Thank you for the kind words Daniel
You mad man! Beautiful bike!
Thanks Diamond Vercetti 😎
Nice to see you back! I’m Thomas Gavin from before, changed my name as I have set up my own channel. Look forward to more videos!!!
Good to hear from you buddy. Love the play on words for the channel name 👍 will check out your videos
Classic motorbikes thanks mate, you’ve inspired me a bit... I can’t film to save my life so bare with! Haha
Keep the videos up!!
Will do Daniel 👍
Ты крут. Удачи в проекте 👍
Just subscribed. Looking forward to this build. I'm a tig welder of 25 years. Just my opinion I could do with less or no music, and more talking through your process but you have to do what is best for you. Its probably much easier to edit and post a video by just laying music on it? Anyway good job so far.
Thanks for the sub Dave and thank you for the feedback. I often use the music for when I'm not 100% on what I'm doing, but I still want to try and show what I'm doing, as you can probably tell I'm very new to TIG welding. Glad you are enjoying the videos
Great vid Ian - keep 'em coming. Are you planning to upgrade the oil pump? I seem to recall hearing somewhere that there can be problem maintaining oil pressure with the stock B12 ones with a blower fitted. Good luck mate
Thanks Reggiebacci. From the research I’ve done the standard Suzuki oil pump is fine, but the getting the oil from the turbo back to the sump can be problematic. If I do have any problems I do have a couple of different options I can try.
I'd got to have a go on this 😁, hope your keeping well bruv 👊
Hey buddy, all good here, hope you are ok. More than welcome to take it for a spin 👌
I'm really looking forward to the new episodes, it's been a while since last upload. Good luck with the project !!
P.S. Will it be street legal?
P.S.S. What about stock pistons, cylinder base gasket, compression ratio..?
Thanks Kruno I’m glad to be back. Yes it will be street legal, I will be making some changes for the engine to lower the compression ratio, all will be revealed in a future episode 👍
Any idea how many total videos the turbo project will be?
Good job filming and working. I thought you were being filmed by somebody else while you worked.
Hi Brian, I'm not sure on the total about of videos but I think it could be around 10-12. My Dad Bill does help with the filming sometimes but most of the time it's just me 👍
good video! makes sence no seeing them at 45 deg haha.
It’s not what I had in my head before I started but will still work, all will be explained in the next video 👍
Hi Ian whens the next installment ?
Hi Robin, sorry on the slow reply, should be here really soon. its been a steep learning curve!
Great video as usual mate, looking forward to seeing the project progress.
I was watching you strip the bike with great interest, thinking how will he get out that airbox without removing the engine, but you cut that part out, so how did you do it
Thanks Adam, the airbox can be a bit fiddly but to help I remove the rubber boots that connect the airbox to the carbs and makes life a little easier, then I remove it from the left and side of the bike, the hardest bit is getting the prong that bolts the airbox the frame past the frame rail. Hope that makes sense 👍
@@Classicmotorbikes It makes perfect sense, I spent about an hour trying to remove mine last week but gave up before I smashed something
What was the carb problem that you had?
Nice work by the way!
The butterfly on the carb was closed all the time so I adjusted like when balancing carbs and runs great now 👍
Thank you sir, i really appreciate your answer! I had similar problem but it was vacuum leak on cylinder four intake boot
Hi Ian great vid's as i am watching all the way from Thailand were i live 😁 Ian what is the Turbo off mate ??
Cheers 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hi Karl, it’s great to hear you are watching all the way from Thailand! The turbo is from a Subaru Impreza.
@@Classicmotorbikes Thank's Ian 👍👍 glued to the vids mate on about doing same to CB1300 keep em coming 🤘🤘
Awesome 😎 let me know how you get on with your CB1300 🤙
What’s that motorcycle lift you got that would be ideal ? :)
Hi Hillbilly woody, it’s called the ABBA Skylift, if you check out our other videos I’ve done a review of it 👍
Classic motorbikes ah ok cool will do
easy way to make ok fabrication videos is to just velcro the camera above whatever you are working on. it's not in the way and you don't have to move it around.
thanks Nick I'll give it a try, should have a new video very soon!
Is it going to have a blow-off valve?
Hey Groomer, yes it will have a BOV. Shroomy
@@Classicmotorbikes can't wait to hear it!
Is that a turbo from a Subaru Impreza?
Hi Mark, yes it is, from one of the early models I believe.
@@Classicmotorbikes spotted that hotside flange a mile away. I would have thought though that that turbo would be very laggy on a bike given that it's quite laggy with a 2l engine supplying it with exhaust gases. Still will make lots of power. Good luck with the rest of the build.
Where have you been hiding??
It’s been a busy year with work etc and I’ve started playing ice hockey again after 5 years away when I broke my leg, but I’m back now can’t wait to hear the bike with a turbo for the first time
