Real good  thumbs  up
Nice place you guys have there, also very nice people,
traffic for example,people would make space or move over and wave , here the only wave would be a one finger salute  Huh?

Racing went very well
The turbo kit all got there either through the mail or in my siutcase with no customs probs
everything worked as it should fitting it , slight holdup on some new parts ordered but we got by using old parts or making what we needed, for the first meet and the bits were there for the second
Ran a best speed of 220mph one way for a 215 record at the BUBs event, my team mate Firemanjim ran a fastest of 219 but a better second run than mine netted him a higher record at 217 .
One of jims runs logged a full minuet of top gear full throttle at 27 psi covering over 3 miles, poor little 750, i was sure it wouldn't survive that but it survived fine and went on to do many more runs above 200 mph.

Second Bonneville meet we went to was the USFRA World of speed
Set 2 more records there, mine at 212 mph and then after fixing a slipping clutch jim found some more mph and ran 2 consecutive passes at 218 for a 218 mph record, these put us both in the Bonneville 200mph club and made our little gsxr 750 the fastest 750 in the world , sort of thing you hope for and build for but usually have something that holds you back from reaching full potential.

In general we had a blast and i could not have done it without the help of Mick my mate from Aussie that came over and helped for the whole month, paying for some parts when i thought things like a new radiator was a luxury i couldn't afford.

 Firemanjim who gave up a month of his life , rooms in his house,a corner of his workshop and drove us everywhere .how could i not give him equal time on the bike  thumbs  up 

Still catching up to the work load here that accumulated while i was gone, i'll get some more pics up soon

Tuned with datalogging on the road so no idea how much hp, guessing around 300 at Bonneville in the high altitude.

750 specs
GT28R turbo
Water /air intercooler
ceramic coated std pistons
.080 decompress
2 extra diaphram clutch springs
Tuneboy Advance piggyback (beta testing)
380cc injectors,
1.6:1 reg
walbro ext pump
+4 swingarm
Everything else is std, cams were not even redialed after fitting the spacer.

there's always faster  Wink

Just finishing a duplicate turbo kit for the Aussie bike i tuned and built the first kit on, trying a bigger turbo and methanol , see if i can get more power , then look at improving the aero a bit,
We race in March , counting down the weeks , not all that long to go..
