The intake plenum requiring some "massage" does not surprise. I have some experience with UK parts for Nortons and Triumphs. Mostly good but some are WTF? Mostly fabricated stuff that required refab and/or machining. American and Japanese parts and kits generally are spot on. The RCC Turbo kit I installed this year required almost no rework or extra hardware. The best kits IMO. Chinese stuff is a joke. Cheap crap that doesn't fit or work.
I was pretty surprised myself on how much I needed to remove. I went from a sanding cartridge to a high speed steel rotary tool i used to port the head. Ive never got anything from Japan but that wouldn't surprise me of good quality from them... their Bikes show that and they have pride in all their work. What did you put the RCC kit on?
The RCC Stage 1 Turbo kit went on my own personal 2008 Gen II Hayabusa. It dynoed at 301 HP with stock injectors but tuned it back to 255 so is usable. The engine is NOT stock. I have ridden with 3, 4 and 500Hp bikes that can't turn, way too extended wheelbase, can't stop, or can't get power to the ground. May beat me in a straight line for a bit but I always come back around and do it on pump 93 gas. Rock solid dependable. I drag raced for decades and that kind of bike belongs at the track. My bike is solid and dependable. My FZ1 is fairly well tuned to the max with Ivans stuff and runs quite well. But boosted power is addicting and have considered the TTS kit. But all the massaging? It get tiresome.
@@clivepalmer7356 Hi there Clive. I'd like to see some pictures of your bike. There are a few things that can be causing that. One being lower than the oil pan is a big factor. That means even with engine off there is a slow supply of oil going to the turbo. You need a 1-3psi cracking check valve. So it only allows oil to flow when engine on. Next a scavenger pump is very help to take the oil away as gravity cant do it. Make a small oil reservoir under the turbo. This reservoir should have a breather. This helps the scavenger pump flow. Next look into running a restrictor on the oil feed side. If the 2554r is a ball bearing turbo it needs very little oil. You could also be over oiling and the oil isn't draining fast enough so it's pushing past the cold side seals and blowing into the charge pipe. This has happened to me. And last make sure you don't have excessive crank pressure. This will push the oil in the opposite direction and out the turbo. Add some breather ports to the engine. If there is a way to contact you let me know and we can chat more. I'll probably do a video on this subject
@@DarkestVibez I want to make sure people are getting a good deal but also to spread the word. A $25 ticket is easier to sell than a $50 as far as how many i will be allowing still to be determined.
Hopefully these next few weeks we can start to wrap this project up!
Are there any videos of the supercharged fz1 on the road?
Great progress! That will be a beast once finished, I'm sure!! Keep em coming!
Finishing her up should be right around the corner my friend. I can't wait
Most polite rant ever ;) Getting close! One step at a time.
Well I mean I couldn't let everyone see my hood side:)
Again , great work man!
Appreciate it Anders!
Great videos man these inspire me and and are helpful 🙌🏼
Awesome man! Glad to hear that! It's why I make these.

what would keep the fuel injectors from firing? I have new battery, new fuel pump and new injectors the bike cranks but no fuel.
Easily one of my favorite bikes of all time! Is the raffle page up yet?
How much weight did the supercharger system add to your bike ?
😍😍
How are we able to buy tickets?
I'll lookimg into making a square space page where tickets will be available in the next few weeks as the build wraps up
@@rhetericalpha awesome! Cant wait lol. I found you on the fz1 Facebook and watched every episode since lol
@@yzkid9747 I love hearing that! I hope to continue this even after this build. If all goes well do another build but different platform and style
Ware did you get the scavenger oìl pump from I have a turbo fz1 since 2010
Clive palmer. Mesaage me on Facebook of you have it. We can talk there and ill help you out
I have someone you can get a mechanical pump from. He makes them for make different models of bikes
@@rhetericalpha not on Facebook but really would like the external oil pump and how it works thanks Clive
@@rhetericalpha I have a 2008 fz1 with a 2554r turbo having problems with oil in intercooler turbo is lower than oil pan

How much will it be to enter?
I apologize for the slow reply didn't see this comment. I was thinking about 25 per ticket but do limit quantity for better chances.
@@rhetericalpha no worries! That's super fair I was expecting more like $50 to $100 for an entry
