Kawasaki Ninja H2 Stage 3 Upgrade Install (Part 4) | KSIX
This video is Part 4 of 4
In this video I complete the installation of the front radiator, coolant pump and intercooler. She's all done and ready for tuning.
I apologize for the insanely crappy and shifty audio on this upload. I normally wouldn't post a video with the audio in this rough a shape but I didn't want to leave this install series unfinished.

Great work bro. Takes a lot of balls to do what you did with a bike people are too scared to ride leave alone work on. It must be nice to live in the states. Mail order parts are amazing. Would like to see some speed runs after the install and dyno figures. The important factor is not how much hp or torque you make but how its made. So keen to see this

[@Ksix1]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@snrautomotive4093]

Pleasure bro. Around these parts H2's are blowing up willy nilly. Lots of stage 2 gear setups and fiddling but software isnt being focused on. So the bikes are running lean and melting pistons. Intrigued to see what software you going to run to keep the air fuel ration at its optimum.

[@Ksix1]

I installed the full woolich software package right after taking delivery. Not trying to blow up my bike. Although finding someone willing and talented enough to tune with wollich was a challenge. She's running great. Sitting at 262 whp.

[@snrautomotive4093]

@@Ksix1 thats pretty sick man. A fully built motor is sitting at 330hp on the wheels from what i see. 262 is great. This 2019 seems like a Wednesday bike. Hehe. Maybe in the future you can look at gear ratios for topspeed runs, if you into that sort of thing. 5th and 6th gear can be played with. Very uncommon on most channels.

[@Ksix1]

@@snrautomotive4093 for now I'm fine where it's sitting. Any more and I'd have to extend wheel base and I'm not really into that. H2 comes out on sunny days for quick rides. Not doing any racing although I will run someone down if they try me on the highway 🤣

Nice series 👌 let's see a ride video with all the new goodies on 😁

Gonna ride this thing?? Lets see!

Oh I've been riding it! It'd fast AF lol. Just haven't been editing any video 😅 I've been super busy with life

Great and clean work!

Thank you!

[@ryanleckie6846]

Fair play to you buddy...Big job to take on. What power are you looking at once mapped with gears and intercooler installed? Are you leaving it stock wheel base? Cheers ,

[@Ksix1]

I'm currently at 262whp with more HP to go. Decided to stop there since I do not intend to go beyond stock wheel base.

[@Gursewak173]

Brother how about stage 4 gearing

[@karnal1710]

Is it all finished yet whens the next video

[@Ksix1]

Yea! She's all done and tuned up. Sorry. I've been super busy with life. Haven't had time to edit any video. Just so you know. She's up to 262whp with more to spare. Going to leave it there. I really don't want to extend swing arm to keep her grounded.

[@FREDY4udo]

Good afternoon, watched all parts of the video, very cool! But can I get links from you where to buy it all? Thank you so much in advance.

[@Ksix1]

Hi! Thank you for checking out all the videos! I appreciate that 🤙 everything was purchased from Extreme Creations in Australia extremecreations.com.au/

How reliable has the h2 been do you still have it ?

[@bazookajoe2836]

Nice job !!! could you hook me up that I would be able to buy the whole kit including the supercharger kit and the intercooler and I understand that this upgrade need a new ECU software by the way I am from Israel

[@Ksix1]

You wouldn't be able to purchase from me. I don't sell these items.

[@carbonsanity3792]

How is the H2 holding up with the stage 3 kit? Do you think you need the intercooler for it?

[@Ksix1]

Hey there! Sold the H2 about a year ago. Nothing wrong, just wanted to do something different. With upgraded SC gears an intercooler is an absolute MUST.

[@Gursewak173]

Bro my question is how can i install 300 hp built motor should i do before stage 3 supercharger gears installation intercooler before or after i have watched travis they totally remove the engine from the bike

[@Ksix1]

Travis' work is hands down - world class. But he also builds engines far beyond my own comfort and ability to undertake in my garage. To go as deep as he does, removing the engine is probably the easiest way to get the job do and do it right the first time.

@@Ksix1 so if I change the intercooler with no flash it’s gonna through codes

[@Ksix1]

@@h2_ag178 No. I don't believe the intercooler on its own will cause any issues. For example, you live in a desert state and wanna keep Temps down. If you were to add just add an intercooler and modified airbox, nothing should happen. Don't take this is as gospel. However, I can't see why it would cause issues since air intake volume hasnt changed. Check out the H2 forums. I know I've read about folks doing this because of the regions they live in. 🤙

[@h2_ag178]

With the copper looking washers did you put on all 12 of them and on the top of the pump is just a over flow holes or does it connect to something time frame is at 11:35

[@Ksix1]

Hi! Trying to recall. I don't think I used the copper washer on the bolts holding the turning vanes. The hardware for those was supplied by EC. Not sure what you mean about the pump... on top of the pump is a cap. There is a hose on the side of the pump to the overflow tank. You can see the nipple, I hadn't connected the hose yet.

[@h2_ag178]

@@Ksix1 that’s what I was thinking with the turning vanes if EC supplied the hardware for it. Sorry that’s what I meant where in that part of the video you haven’t connected hose to yet where does the other end go to

[@dorothymarin7118]

Can I go straight to stage 3/4 from stock gearing? Are you tuning it right after .?

[@Ksix1]

I'm not sure if I understand your question. I would recommend Tuning directly after installing. Along with the super charger gears, I also upgraded the stock fuel pump. At this point, the bikes ECU has no idea what's going on. You could be running way to lean or rich. The bike just isn't optimized for what it's now capable of doing. I did run the bike in the garage after install, just to make sure I didn't have any issues. Then it went into the trailer and to SoCal Superbikes for tuning.

[@dorothymarin7118]

@@Ksix1 sorry I’m bad at asking the right way .lol but u did answer my question .. what I meant is that I can go from stock supercharge gear to stage 4 gearing right away? Or do I have to go from 2 then 3 and so on

[@Ksix1]

@@dorothymarin7118oh I see. No worries. No you don't have to do it in steps. You'll just need to make sure you are completing all the work to meet that stages performance requirements. I also don't think you would want to do a stage 4. Lol. I know the materials are available to do the modification. Even Extreme Creations warns that doing would push supercharger to maximum speed of 143000rpm and could cause failure. Booooom!!!! 💥💥💥 🤣

@@Ksix1 gotcha

[@alexcazacu1]

is the extreme creations intercooler better than the yagerwerx?

[@Ksix1]

Good question! I racked my head on this for months before actually purchasing. I spoke to both Ben and Travis. Each had nothing but great things to say about each other's work. However, it is hard to deny that some of the fastest H2's in North America are running the Yager intercooler. Travis' skills as a fabricator are extraordinary. Dude is seriously Next Level. I dont think you can go wrong or will be disappointed, whichever route you go. Its a matter of preference and how deep into your pockets you feel like digging. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION! MAKE SURE U LIKE AND SUB 🤙

[@alexcazacu1]

@@Ksix1 what made you pick the ec one?

[@alexcazacu1]

@@Ksix1 by the way, i like your channel. you seem to be extremely well researched. another question I would have for you is why did you pick the MWR filter over the sprint or dna one?

[@Ksix1]

@@alexcazacu1 When I decided that I wanted to undertake this project, the EC Intercooler was the picture perfect vision of what I wanted. I felt that the craftsmanship and elegance of the items EC setup fit that vision. There is a very large price difference between the two kits, but when I asked myself which I'd be most happy seeing on my H2, the EC won. Now, if I was going full out, time/space shredding power, the Travis kit would been it. But that's not really me. I chose the kit that I thought best fit what I wanted. Really, I think that's the best way to choose.

[@Ksix1]

@@alexcazacu1 ohh! Another good question! So, functionally, I didn't have any issues with the MWR filter. It did its job. Got rave reviews from users on other applications. However, what I didn't realize is that the filter needs to be oiled. And, because I'm paranoid, I was afraid to use any cleaning or oiling solutions besides the MWR brand. Both are expensive. Cleaning and oiling was just a pain in the ass. Also, the H2 has drain tubes just before and after the air filter. The oil would fill up the tubes and just cause a mess. I was not happy. The sprint is sooooooo easy to clean. Compressed air only, 1 min job and done. And for as thin as it is, it captures everything! Really a marvelous product. I can't say if there are any HP gain/losses between the two but the convenience factor is 100% in favor of Sprint.
