Well it looks like I've lunched my 1st hayabusa engine,,,the poor girl has no compression at all in any cylinders,,no broken cams and it looks like no bent valves. I'm a little confused at the moment.

What a pain in the arse,,,2 weeks out from my favourate track,,,, E/Creek.

Poo bum bloody piss bloody wee,,,oh I'm in a shit bad mood.

Think I'll take Roy for a walk and have a think about it.

Neil.

I looked into this earlier, but the wacky joining criteria made it prohibitive.

1. You must have blown up at LEAST 3 RB26s.

2. You must have burnt off your fingerprints (goes to the whole Raceworx black ops thing they have going on in the background. Racing is just a front.)

3. You must at all times have burns, bruises and cuts from welding, slamming doors on fingers and angle grinder "incidents".

4. You must wear king-gee shorts and prance around backyards pretending to work.

5. General dress requirements: Welders gloves and mu-mus.

:D

all true...but like all secret societies there are other criteria that must be met.

originally the criteria also intended rolling a car at a track, but we relaxed that when neil joined up.

Thanks Duncan,,,at least you made me laugh,,,. Roy's trying to chear me up as well,,,lots of sloopy kisses.

Ben original engine which admittedly has done tons of racing hours.

Andrew,,,funny you should ask that question,,,I have 2 somewhere with customs apparently,,,but we shouldn't go there at the moment for legal reasons.

Just throw some oil down on the local spot for riders and sit by the side of the road for a guy to drop it. If you need a motor i know a guy in Melb that runs a bike shop and is the guy who might be able to get you back on track.

But surely rebuild is the way to go with so much aftermarket support for the things?

Spewing Neil, that really sucks mate :P

Im sure through insurance companies like shannons, insure my ride, wqbe they would have total loss gsxr1300's...

If your not rebuilding, maybe check out auctions or something?

Trouble is I've already bought 2 engines,,,I'm waiting for them to arrive.

I can't see E/Creek happening now.

Funny I was about to buy some more horsepower. Some nice big cams/sprockets, a good head job/bigger valves, JE pistons and a fully sick clutch setup.

Now I've had time to look at my videos, I can see a lot of room for improvement - It felt good to get it out of 2nd gear for a change and you can see all the hillclimbs haven't been good for me in that area. But I guess the hillclimbs have been good for me in learning how to drive on cold tyres.

Anyway, here is one of my sessions from Sunday and as I said, I know there is still a lot of room for improvement.

It's all good Michele,,,we all have room for improvement.

Nice vid by the way,,,the pov's work great don't they.

I'm a little intrigued as to why you go out so quickly on your warm up lap,,,I would have thought with a car like yours,,,you would want to get heat into the brakes. Your at the fish hook and I'm still at the straight before the little left hander going up the hill. I noticed it as well at Oran park.

Andrew,,,I posted head job not cylinder porting on purpose just to see who would lay in the gutter,,,,Ha Ha you win buddy. :D:P:D I like Mr Banana.

Its hard to see in the video, but I was braking hard before most turns in the warm up lap, thats why I seem to corner so slow in the warm up lap, I get stuck into it, brake, into it, brake - but the video doesn't really show the hard braking as such. Once I can feel the tyres really working, then I feel more confident about my cornering speed. I can't afford to let the back end get away on me because that's where all the weight is, so have to be careful about my timing on pushing it into corners.

The POV camera is great, it even makes my car sound like a real car (my car sounded like a weird buzz with the other camera).

Do you think it's worth talking to Phil regarding an engine? He might know of something.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
