Awesome J. Can't wait to hear more about it

Do you have any pics of it?

I have some but I have no place to put them.

You can join the MSN GS Garage and upload them there. That's what a lot of us have done. Check it out:

If you want to send them to me, I can post them for you as well. Just send me a PM.

There is normally a plate on the compressor housing that has the part number. If the turbocharger has not been modified, I can tell you what you have from this number. If the tag is not on the unit, look at my turbos and tell me if yours looks like mine or not.

3rd set of pistons???

Why don't you mount an onboard A/F meter to your bike? That way you can monitor your mixture and you'll know about lean dangers before your pistons melt.

Looks just like yours except its not near as shiny (-;

Your bike will run just as good with a 1150 head with 1mm over on the intake and 2mm over on the exhaust with only the seats blended in with no porting. 20 years of turbos on both kawasaki`s and suzuki`s plus wrenching on 3 funny bikes at times has showed me a lot. At one time I had a couple 5 gallon buckets full of ruined pistons. First rule of thumb don`t run wiseco...ever. MTC is a good turbo piston although I prefered arias. I never ran the mikuni`s.....big S&S`s with the high pressure seats. LOTS of fuel pressure will save you. Forget the water injection. Use good fuel. Long story but it(water/alcohol) will cause you more damage in the long run. On the GS you might need to get as low as 26 degrees before you stop tearing parts up. Forget low compression engines on turbos. A gs with 250 pounds of cranking compression is about right. It will give you torque off the line and absolutely not hurt your down track performance.

250 pounds... Thats almost as much as I had with the 13.8:1's in it. How do you get that much with flat tops? I ride it on the street right now so thats why I took the Super B off, It was very hard to throttle off from a dead stop. I have a Holly Red on it and also am using MTC's.

What kind of times should I expect when I put it in the chassis?

A few pictures of Jeff's bike.

Will one of those Gixxer heads really bolt right onto a GS or GSX motor? Does that mean a GSX-R 750 head will bolt to a GSX 750 motor and add some horses?

Yes it will!!! Visit www.bertaut.com he has an instruction page on how to do it.

I checked out that site and can't find anything but a cursory explanation about how they did it on a bigger engined bike. Are you sure it'd work? From what I've looked at the bores on the GS(X)750 are 67mm, and the early GSX-Rs are 70mm. Is the bore spacing still compatible or not?

Go to Vansant.com/raceteam. No real infor. but you can see it can be done

I'm not getting anywhere with that link?
