    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I already have the CV carbs. Correction, 'HAD', they made some room for a fuel injection intake system :roll: (although not running, the hardware is there but the computer not yet). I hate carbs and this is a good reason to dump them completely.

Good decision! :) I'm just curious, what kind computer you are going to use?

I can recommend Megasquirt, at least if electronics doesn't scare you too much and if you don't want to spend too much money.

There is some information about my setup, if you are interested:

The computer will be one with fuel & ignition combined from http://kms.vankronenburg.nl/
It will cost e850,- but it saves a lot of time in building and testing. And it has some nice features like a waste gate controller with a TPS mapping :) .

I was building a computer myself from scratch but that will take me too much time, so I skipped that part.

Your system looks nice! You cut open an original carb assembly for those throttle body?s?

Car parts are my favourites, lots of choice. My injectors are 14Ohm, 133cc/min. from a daihatsu and the fuel pump is a standard Bosch part.

Currently I don?t have time to build it though :( .
 
Ready-made controller will definately save some time. And at least you can bug somebody with your problems, if you face any, just because you have paid for it. :)

I just replaced original carb setup with throttle body setup from Kawasaki.

DYNOSHEET

DYNOSHEET

Hi Guys,
Finally got round to dyno-ing the beast for the very first time despite it still not being completely finished.

I was very nervous incase I blew it up and even more nervous incase it would only give 100 hp in front of the crowd at a Streetfighter show I dynoed it at.

I shouldn't have worried... 160.6 Hp at 7250 rpm and 157 Nm from 3800 rpm till 7250 rpm. (at the back wheel)
If you look at the sheet you can see why I had trouble with the clutch even after I fitted a lockup.. The torque bulge is enourmous, starting very early in the revrange.

That's what a VNT turbo does for you, ladies and gentlemen.

It ran very rich, so rich even that it wouldn't go above 7250 rpm, so there is 2000 more rpm to go. I beleive the floatbowls were overflowing at that point so I need to lower the floats a bit. I've no doubt whatsoever that I will make over 200 hp soon.

Greetz, Marco.

And it sounded nice too! :D

People standing directly behind the dyno were getting a good dose of black smoke in there face, at 7500 rpm I though he hit the rev limiter it was sputtering so bad, so as Marco said more to come!
 
That is sooo SICK! Very impressive. As someone who owns a ZX12 and knows how frighteningly hard they accelerate I,m not sure I'd want to be on something with 25 year old handling characteristics. Will it even hook up? Good luck.
