Turbo FZ1- Slapping On A Turbski PART 1

[@遊戲玩家-l4k]

A lot of respect to this build. A FZ1 owner from Taiwan.

[@abdullahspeed8163]

Where can i buy that turbo exhaust headers?

[@47-TH4TS-R4VN]

💪💯. Fz1 Best of both worlds.

[@rhetericalpha]

You ain't wrong! Love em

[@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN]

It's fun to go back to your older videos that I hadn't seen before we met. Good stuff!! Tell me you have a motorcycle lift now...

[@josephlemay]

still watch your videos man, that and i needed help with finding an oil port to tap off of for my oil feed for the turbo lol

[@rodmiller9229]

Wait, no, ............now i need that turbo on my FZ1 instead of that supercharger...........decisions, decisions.......great video 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@rhetericalpha]

It dont look to bad does it? Haha I'm all for boost so what ever you choose will be a win

[@davidbell6320]

This is brilliant 👌, Can i ask what bhp did you get on the stock engine running 10 psi of boost? I have a 5vy engine from an r1, which Ive been told is the same/similar. Thank you.

[@elvinbensig3496]

Cant wait for part 2 and hear how she roars.. 👍

[@rhetericalpha]

Soon very soon I'll have prart 2 out

[@jakeryan3510]

Awesome video.

[@rhetericalpha]

Glad you enjoyed it. Lots of hours in the garage. This short video doesn't put it in perspective. Part 2 will be out soon

[@lefterhsorfanos3515]

Can't wait to listen to it's roar !

[@rhetericalpha]

Next video I promise:)

[@faridalexanderbernabela2954]

can you please tellme where did u got those swingarm extentions?

[@shankarnarayan4578]

amazing

[@joelemay5858]

Where did you get the kit?

[@markj6049]

Nice project! Where did you get that intercooler? :)

[@rhetericalpha]

I didn't buy this from a site so I can't direct you to a place if looking for one. A fella in Sweden made this intercooler

[@markj6049]

@@rhetericalpha Was it MCX.SE? I know they have made them at some point. (They used to make turbokits for a lot of bikes). I'm working on a Blackbird Supercharger project, and unlike the Busas, there isn't a lot of aftermarked support for this old lady. So it's great to watch your videos to get inspired - keep up the good work!

[@garyjames127]

Love this channel. Love my FZ1. I have a winding noise recently. Not a lot of info on these bikes out there. Lots of R1 stuff. Any chance you’d be willing to help me diagnose mine? Happened after I had to jump start a weak battery. Any help would be awesome

[@shankarnarayan4578]

u r crazy bro 😀☺

[@adventurevehiculist]

Ah yes. I'm back here again. This is worth watching twice.

[@playerlazar73]

What makes you like the FZ1 platform so much? why not do this with a bike that is already at 200hp ?

[@rhetericalpha]

I got on the Fz1 platform to have a nice riding position for my back then realized it was pretty decent at a lot of things. There are very few bikes that have 200hp stock if any and we are talking bikes that cost a lot more than I want to spend. Even the newest gsxr 1000 and zx10 don't have 200 and thats after flash, tune, exhaust, velocity stacks. Those bikes stock and new already cost 6,000 more than I have in this project. I have under 10k in this including the bike. I wanted to be different and have a one off build to tune heads but inthe future I may do an all out hayabusa build.

[@rhetericalpha]

This bike did make 215whp supercharged going for 350whp+

[@playerlazar73]

@@rhetericalpha I have a FZ1 and did all the majore tunes, im happy with mine, and use it to commute from and to work. I was just wondering what does make this bike so nice, thanks for the answer~!

[@rhetericalpha]

@@playerlazar73 I mean they are ok bikes. Good at multiple things just not the best at any one thing. Really this build is to be different and just say i did it

[@TheZachCrooks]

Would love a link to that scavenge pump tired of using a external electric pump

[@clivepalmer7356]

I would like that type of scavenger pump too I have a 2008 fz1 with a 2554r Garrett stretched the swing arm 4 inches had it done in 2010

[@oldjeep]

That is some scary looking clearance. Have you cycled the front suspension? Be interesting to see how the heat coming off that turbo impacts the front tire, especially when stopped at a light. - Assuming this isn't just a track toy.

[@rhetericalpha]

It is pretty close but it should be fine. I will be messing with that to be sure. Safety first. As far as heat I don't think it will be too much of an issue. Ive seen bigger turbos even closer. I guess I'll have to go for a decent ride and bring a infrared thermometer to test tire temp

[@ForagingYoutube]

Got a fz1 too, never thought someone would turbo one😂👍 It started bothering me that your turbo might touch the wheel when the suspension lowers and rises the wheel while braking. 🤔

[@clement5203]

Woaw ! Can I get the reference of the turbo please ;)

[@rhetericalpha]

The turbo is a Garrett GT3071R

[@eaglescout5816]

Im really curious so see some comparison times in the the quarter mile before and after. Also top speed differences, if any?

[@eaglescout5816]

Never the less very interesting upload. Tks.

[@rhetericalpha]

With my supercharged setup best I seen was 9.6 at 148mph. Personally I don't have a great drag racing clutch hand. Best 60' was a 1.8 haha so that tells a lot. This year I plan to go a lot more and get better. Top speed will change only because ill be changing gearing. Stock gearing on the fz1 will go about 174mph if you have the hp to push it. My bike had enough to max out.

[@jettran4465]

Question. So my coolant system has a leak where the line connects to the block under the throttle bodies. Does the line have a o-ring?

[@遊戲玩家-l4k]

Go change the o ring inside the thermostat housing.

[@jettran4465]

@@遊戲玩家-l4k didnt know there was any o-ring there until i check the engineering diagrams. Update: installed oring no leaks xD, thanks fam

[@rhetericalpha]

@@jettran4465 sorry i didnt see your comment on here. i am glad you got the oring replaced and that was the fix.

[@jettran4465]

@@rhetericalpha is there a way to lower the bike without buying aftermarket? I tip-top at stock height.

[@rhetericalpha]

You can lower the front through the fork clamps

[@gasmanrus]

Loving this FZ series! Can you tell Me why you’ve decided to go from supercharger to turbo? More power potential?

[@rhetericalpha]

we have no twisty roads around here just a drag strip. so I wasn't worried about too much power in corners and the supercharger was maxed out. So yes =) i upgraded for more power for drag racing. still will be on the streets just wanted more for the Drag racing. Glad you are liking the content

[@gasmanrus]

@@rhetericalpha ah cool yeah that makes sense. I’ve had a FZ1 Fazer since new in 06 & the TTS conversion has been kicking around in my mind for a while.. looking forward to seeing (& hearing!) your white bike running with the new turbo! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@clivepalmer7356]

Need a scavenger pump like you have

[@rhetericalpha]

It really comes in handy when you have a turbo lower than the oil pan. TIPS: if using a ball bearing turbo make sure to use the right restrictor too much oil and your going to have a leak on the cold side. A small reservoir with a breather under the turbo will help the draining system. Check valve/cracking valve on the feed side of turbo will help keep oil from continuously flowing to turbo that is lower than oil pan. If it continues to flow while motor is off the cold side and or exhaust side of turbo can leak oil. Smokey starts and worst... oil in intake/intercooler. Not that you needed any of that info but if you did there it is.

@@rhetericalpha I have to put the turbo back on then I will take a picture would you know where to get the vacuum from for my catchcan ?
