Third time

Get the bike started first time with E85. It started quite easy.
Video clip after first start with untuned, 40% raised gasoline map:

 
After two days of testing & tuning I get the fuel map good enough. With E85 fuel it runs smoother and when opening throttle more there seems to be more power than last year. More power is probably due to the new cylinder head. I?m pretty happy with the result.
Now I need to take it to dyno before something happens...
 
Today I rode 160 km (100 miles) roadtrip to calculate fuel consumption. First 20 and last 40 km`s was motorway and my speed was 130 km/h (80 miles/h).
Fuel consumption was 8.5 liters/km which is about 20% - 25% more than with gasoline.
When I was home I notice oil spots in the subframe, rear wheel and swingarm.
Engine breather hose was dripping oil. That has newer happened before.
I don?t like oil on the frame or rear wheel, so I mede a catch can:



There is drain screw on the bottom. Hope it works...

How did you manage to keep it below 130kmh?
Did it run well besides the oil breather leak?

On the motorways I rode 130 km/h All other roads what ever was speed limit (30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100)
It runs good and pulls strong. No oil leaks exept it breaths little oil when riding longer times high speeds.
Engine runs cooler with E85 fuel.
 
Last summer when I using gasoline in my bike there was some heat issues. Especially when riding in town.
This summer with E85 it has been difficult to get engine to normal temperature.
I bought the Mocal oil stat, which I modified a little and installed it to frame tube under #1 exhaust:



Because I blocked one outlet from the oil stat I made t-piece in the "oil in" line:



Now the engine oil by-passes the cooler before it has warmed up to 80 ? C
 
Today I finally get my bike to the dyno. The results were more than I expect, 173 Nm and 204,8 hp from the rear wheel.
Not so bad with only 0.56 bar boost.

 
Apparently you chose the right turbo with plenty of torque down low;)
Many turbo designs provide a lot of power that comes on very suddenly making the bike undriveable.
Congratulations!

It?s not turbo it?s Eaton M45 Roots type supercharger. Thats why it makes torque from idle to red line ;)

Thought it looked familiar :)
I picked one up a few years ago when the MINI Cooper owners were convinced their standard-fit brand-new factory 'charger wasn't as good as some shiny replacement.
Paid ?100 for it, which I considered a bargain.
