I fastened the chest rest to the base plate tonight, still some touches to be made but the function is 100%. I won´t cover up the sides at all because of the fuel and oil lines that will pass through there, and it looks kind of IKEA neat this way.   It really improved the lines of the bike, and it has a perfect height to rest the torso on when hiding down behind the handlebars.  I think I have figured out everything that needs to be modified on the bike now, I wrote down two full Postit notes with things to do so I think I have things under control for this summers racing. Cheers! /Anders |

Great work I bet you can't wait to test ride it. I remember rideing the y2k bike was described like being pushed by the hand of God lol might take some getting used to all that power do you have a steering damper on it I can't see.

I have been out of the saddle for too long now, so I am eager to test run it with the new engine. Yup, I have a BMW S1000RR steering damper on it. First I used some no name Ebay damper but it was useless so I bought this one instead. Cheers! /Anders |

Last night I assembled the engine core after opening up the turbine backside to wall clearance, I added beefier welds to the NGV after finding hairline cracks in a few stator welds and this warped the NGV wall a little.  Cheers! /Anders |

I can't really see the warpage but dam I still can't believe that little beer keg makes that much power.looking forward to building something like this one day.

Yeh , a lotta power in a little keg, that comp wheel will be needing >400HP to spin it around at max RPM and it'll be flowing enough air for a >2,000 HP IC engine .

It's crazy how much power they takes to spin.borg Warner makes a 2800hp unit I've been looking at as a possible doner for my build down the track a nice billet one |

LOL...............if only I could get it to work :-)
Considering what some of the tractor pullers do with their large turbos, we're very conservative ....................I have to be , my wallet isn't fat enough :-(

John, you don't need money. Brains are better than money. It is more fun to create something without money. It does take longer.
Thanks, Ron

Hi Ron
Yep , it takes longer .............but the years are starting to catch up with me , what once took weeks, now takes months .................LOL, though I make less silly mistakes now so that saves some time :-)
Cheers

John, 99% of rotating machinery problems are silly. I seem to be making my share which adds to the time to accomplish my goals. Worst one on the DIY was forgetting to add the air hole for the compressor discharge gasket. Embarrassing.
Thanks, Ron
