well, I most definitely will never race another bike again, lol, if you wanna call it a race! tried to roll with Van's busa today on 77.... i'm doin 120 13 psi in 4th and he's several football fields ahead of me, lol

 

pm'd ya Dave

 

Don't know how much the reducers are. Shouldn't be much.

 

Power to weight ratio is a bitch!! And you will never beat a Busa in a roll-on race. It will take around 800+ RWHP

 

i say we just cut the 2.5 outlet off the muffler and open the back of the muffler up to 3.5 in and just weld the piping on.

 

Don't cut anything please.

 

ok well im not being so successful finding a reducer.

 

I think you should get a second opinion on your pipe size. I think your measure stick thingie may be slightly off. 3 1/2 in is a bigger hole than my 12 gauge can make at ten paces.....

 

lol...that was no race.....that was what 190 looks like before I had to slow down for traffic....counting the 10mph all bikes are off on the top end.....all and all it was a good day...i got to ride in 2 7s, no parts fell off and I got almost all the pully part of my engine on....not bad for xhours of work....and now I get to go to sleep thinking about your paint job.....mmmmm.....

 

also jb weld works for block offs also josh...5.00 and your good. rotaryresurections website says so..plus it tells you in great detail how to do it.......and bigisland.....i *think* I may have my omp line fixed. it broke right at the injector.....so I took a piece of vac line...and about a 1/4 inch down it I put black rtv and puched it in the vac line, rtv again on the nipple of the injector and connected everything....i hope holds, if not.....i will be at your house at 6am....i have no job.....will work for parts....or.........do dirty things for parts......oh yeah!

 

Winner winner chicken dinner!! 3 1/2 is a bit large. Waay overkill for exhaust. We'll see what it is when it shows up. I am saying 3 inch.

 

fuuuuuuck, why would you have a 3.5" exhaust even with a turbo? ....

 

In John's defense, Someone may have measured it wrong and told him it is 3 1/2. If it is that large I would think about replacing it with a full 3 inch pipe all the way back. Someday.

Now there is a reason for a huge exhaust pipe. But again that doesn't come into play until you are pushing a shitton ofCFM's. Waaaaaay more than a stock turbo could ever dream of. We're talkin like a freakin locomotive turbo It's funny that "most" people think that the bigger your exhaust the better everything will work,...silly Americans and there "size issues" It's all about having the proper meshing of parts, sizes etc..

 

ill get a second opininion dave on how big it is, the hard part is gonna be finding the reducer. idk what to do.

 

Don't worry about it. I can have some made if you can't find any. Just a matter of stretching some pipe with a expander. My cousins shop can handle that . takes about 5 minutes The best thing would have been to get the correct sized muffler inlet But I can overcome that hurdle.

 

Ok thanks for taking care of it dave ur a life saver, lemme know how much i owe you. and thanks for letting my dumbass take my smog off too.

 

i'll let you know tommorrow when the muffler gets here tommorrow what the confirmed dimensions are so you can go get the reducer made.

 

Thanks Crit. I am going to need a fuel door release switch. Mine is broken. Just let me know if you have one.

 

 

Alright dave i have officially confirmed that it is in fact a 3 inch and not a 3 1/2, sorry for the wrong measurement.
