Oh, one thing I remembered to ask... You mentioned Louis is using the emanage to raise his rev limit. Where is he shifting at? That would make a big diff given the poor S/C'er is stuck at 6500. The S/C powerband really needs to rev to 7k at least to shine... I mean ____, it's still building power at 6500.

 

^^Naw...Brian (Jester) is the one that raised his Rev limit. He has the Ultimate, and it's set to 7k RPM I think.

Louis just has the regular Blue Box Emanage, which does not have that feature if I recall correctly.

 

Ah. I was thinking of picking up an emanage ultimate with pnp harness just to exploit the rev limiter raise. 6500 rpm feels so... restricting on the S/C. Given Louis's stage 0 has a tune I have no doubt he's putting down ~220-230whp and matching torque.

 

Sweet, I will have my woman call her friend who's fiance rides a Honda 1000. He has been riding for some time now. I will be down in FL on June 20-29th (Ocala area), and we will be riding all over visiting family. Some in St. Pete, as well as going to B. Gardens. So we can set something up then, that way there will be a camera to record the action. When we get down there, I will PM you.


Have you ran your bike down the 1/4 mile to the tune of High 9's, or are you just saying that because that's what is reported in the magazines? Would be cool to see timeslips on that. I know the Zx10r's are fast. Should be a good race between you and my boy.

 

Louis should be around 230-240whp. Rich's S/C'er with all his mods, dynoed 238whp. So, Louis should be comparable in that same range with matching tQ.

I doubt his tune is exactly the greatest. He is street tuned without a Wideband. Just off of Kenny's head. And generally that equates to a rich tune of about 10's A/F ratio, to keep things safe for the motor.

 

Rich ever get a tune? I doubt the TRD map is doing that great on 9psi and bolt ons. I was dipping into the 10's a/f stock. I don't know what Rich is trapping in the 1/4 mile, but it should be close to triple digits with that power and he *should* be able to dip into the high 13's with traction. The S/C'er is going to have to launch higher than the turbo'd car to get out of the hole as quick due to the turbo's stronger mid range torque (and I doubt he'll ever get a good launch from 4500~5k without slicks).

Bump it to 11.9:1 and watch the horsepower soar ;) I'll be on AIM sometime after 10:30 pacific time and we can chat more

 

^^Cool. I may or may not be on today. Working on some technical documentation here at work. But when I do get a chance, I'll hit you up.

 

Old vs. New...







The patient....

 

Fidanza flywheels are great. Mine on the ZX2 only weighs in at 9lbs as well ;)

 

Yeah, in the beginning I was going to go with the Fidanza (only one made), but I couldn't pass up the package deal on this one.

 

ah am I mistaken for thinking that was a Fidanza?

 

^is it a cm???

 

That's a Competition Clutch flywheel. But a lot of people use and love the Fidanza one.

 

That's what I get for assuming

Looks good tho
