Nice work man!!! Would’ve thought it was something else since you could hear the FP running to prime, but good call with it not building any pressure. So cool to hear the turbo noises on a bike!
About the fuel pump, that would be my first thought too. Hearing it prime most would think its fine but I knew it just wasn't right im glad I installed a Fuel pressure gauge. I can't wait to chat it up with at a car show soon
Forgot about walboro….it use to be right down road ( it still may be lol I honestly don’t know if they moved) and back in the 80’s my father and I did the Sheetrock and taping in an addition there …..I also had distant family that worked there and was surprised back then to find out they did gas tanks and fuel stuff …..
In this particular video The Turbo setup wasn't pushing the envelope. So it was still a stock clutch with heavy duty cut Springs So it was still a stock clutch with heavy duty clutch Springs. Only because I just got done Turbo charging it. When supercharged that setup held well! With this all out build i switched to a Hays convertible clutch.
@@rhetericalpha can I ask what the convertible clutch is?? I've been looking for a lock up clutch as I'm fitting a turbo after the season along witn Nos

Oh I've been following the drama for the last year haha. I'm just happy Brock actually covered it as there wasn't much coverage live. How did you feel about Chris coming out with the carbon fiber tank? I think go for it especially if Ricky could have a cut oil pan
@@rhetericalpha Ya,RG had a "sidewinder" open race only exh. and a cut oil pan to let him lower the bike more than stock. Chris had the cut tank which allowed him to get lower than stock. And a street exh. Sounds like a wash.
You're making me wanting to buy another FZ1. Had 2. Now shopping for another lol. She sounds good. I'm curious what ends up happening on the high idle.
They are good bikes. I'll probably end up keeping mine for their whole life and adding to the fleet. The high idle was a mix of not letting it warm up all the way, no coolant for the first start up which the idle control valve has coolant ports and I needed to adjust the idle screw. Other than that once it got to 185° the idle sat right around 1250.
@@rhetericalpha Nice! Yeah I actually found you cause I was planning on doing the same thing to my 07. Was going to do the TTS, but now I might be considering doing the turbo as well. Right now using the R6 for track days and commuter, but planning on doing the same. What swingarm extension are you running? Just an R1 extension keys?
The TTS kit is pretty good. A few modifications need done to fit but nothing horrible. THE bad is TTS has No customer support to big warning there. As for the extensions yes I used R1 parts. You would need a R1 back rotor, and brake hanger as well to make work. And the original brake hanger/tab on the fz1 swing arm need to be ground down. So if you plan to go back to stock length you would need a second swing arm but those can be found cheap
@@rhetericalpha the turbo is great. You've actually inspired me to do something similar, that is going to be after this riding season.But that windscreen is fuckin sweet. Im going to look into those
@@johndoedidntdoit thats awesome! Glad I can inspire people haha. If you have any questions when you start let me know and I can answer them as best I can to help you.
Absolutely 💯 percent but turboing any bike is not for the faint of heart. Caution, maintenance and being aware of all the new features and items on the bike has to be apart of the new build. It complicates the bike but if you're a tech/mechanical geek you won't mind it.
Waiting for update
What a noise!!! I really loved the whistling sound of the turboooooo!!! You did a great job bro!!!
This thing is so insanely cool.
Bring this guy back
Today’s the day!!! 😂 loved the Office intro.

Classic 😆

@@rhetericalpha for real man, can’t get here soon enough!
Excellent work bud!!! Sounds great!
Just listen to it purr!! Looking good bro!!
Shank you Jared
You'll have to come by and hear it in person
I’ll be down!!
Its sound amazing 💪
Great job ! Can't wait to see some pull in the street and the track 🙌 and some dyno pull as well
I'll be getting it on the dyno soon. And a track day is not too far as well:)
Sounds gorgeous! Can't wait for the next vid
Next video I'll be taking it out for a spin and seeing how close the tune is. Then we will get it on the dyno
Legendary build. Keep up the good work man!
Hopefully I can live up to that legendary status at the track

Walbro is an awesome brand but throughout the years company's like AEM, and Deatswerks have stormed the aftermarket
Oh man.. builds are starting to get real interesting. The light at the end of the tunnel 👍.
Yes sir, light st the end of the tunnel is coming up fast
I have a R1 with a turbo (stock motor) so I run low boost. When that turbo boosts the bike spins my 330 tire w it ease
Another great video, sounds superb, nice diagnostic’s..........will be awesome once its mapped 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Agreed! Let's see some numbers
crazyyyy, you should make a price list video at the end
I can do a quick video of that. I just hope my Fiancé doesn't watch that one 🤣
I’m surprised you don’t have more subs lol. But hey I blew the motor in my 07 fz1. Got any extras laying around?
Honesly I don't. Well I mean I do have a second engine but thats being built for when I blow up the one in the bike now
@@rhetericalpha lmao well when I get a new one I’m thinking about a turbo kit also. But hey keep uploading. You got this
Awesome bike, I wanted to ask what you have done about the clutch being able to hold the extra power???

@@robertwareham5274 it is a lock up that has multiple options of function. Look up Hays performance clutches on Google. They are not cheap though.

What kind of garrett did you use? I have a Kawasaki z1 and I bought a GT12 but it seems a bit small, but it does 1.5bar no problem, what do you think?
Awesome 😎 I'm looking forward too seeing this in action
what windscreen do you have it looks good
Where did he go???
So whatever happened with the build. Videos stopped a year ago???
Great! She is alive! 🤘🏼 Any updates from the dyno yet? And ... what will be you clutch-setup?
Please help my friend.. What is this windshield you have... It is amazing
Copperdawg is the brand. Pricey but the quality is amazing. If I remember correctly this is the speed screen 2
@@rhetericalpha thank you sooooooo much.. Amazing work by the way.. Your babe is fantastic.. FZ1 for ever my friend...
Great work!
Thanks Billy!

wooooaaah, I'm waiting the next video more than the time I'm going to set my PC5 on the FZ.... :D
I'll have another one out here very shortly
When is your next video?
You should road test and upload the one with supercharger also...
I was into it but you didn't uploaded much on your channel!
Also, how long is your stretch and what tires to you run?
You are awesome. I would like to do the same.. Can you help..??? About some staf

Where've you gone my dude. Them uploads were regular. i hope your working on the bike and making a longer video for us.
IS that an OEM windshield?
No but I wish the OEM came that way. This one is made by Copperdawg. They do great at color matching the OEM paint

Hello, I am interested in modifying my motorcycle. How could I contact you so that you can modify it?
absolute loony!!!! i love it!!!!
no more vids?
how can i find the extensions
Are you located in the US?
Is this worth it?

Those zip ties don’t degrade in gas? Or I mean I hope you used ties that don’t degrade lol
I used Nylon zip ties. Nylon is very fuel and oil resistant. Some OEM car manufacturers use zip ties in the tank holding wires secure
No new videos?
Hello brother, good day, I also have an fz1 and I want to improve it, I hope you can help me
Post more
Great video, but should be able to reduce talking.
Put out some new shit Ish
