FZR-R3 Turbo build

[R3_killa]

I decided to relocate the electronics to the factory air box and utilize that. It's higher up and closer to the front where less water settles. This is just a fit up for now of course and the final product will be presented better.

Only con to this setup is that some wires will have to be extended in certain areas, particularly the battery terminals and harness that sits on the intake manifold. Apart from that, it's all pretty much a straight forward relocation process.

Managed to fit the harness with only having to make an adapter harness for the rectifier, stator, earth plate and thermo sensor. I'll be doing the positive battery terminal over the weekend.



After that, I got started on the up-pipe and was able to get the turbo and wastegate in the position I wanted with no issues 🤞🏼





I have a video that shows more detail but can't seem to load it. I'll be water jacketing the up-pipe and will then start the intercooler pipe once that is completed. The down-pipe will be one of the last things I do because I'm contemplating using titanium instead of stainless to save some weight.

It's coming along good. It is a ton of work for sure.

Thanks!

It's slowly coming along and starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

My 2nd kit came together so much faster than the first. I had to learn how to tig weld on the first one. Plus I learned that its way easier to do the water jacket if you dont weld the up pipe all together first.
My biggest issue I have now, I dont think I can remove my battery without pulling the Turbo. Which sucks.
I still need to vent my valve cover to my catch can, but ive been super busy with other stuff.

My water-jacketing is coming along nicely



Which catch can are you using? I'm thinking about this:

[Reaper9789]

Im using an Evil energy catch can from amazon. it was like $30

BUild coming along very nicely. Once someone makes a bolt on turbo kit. I’ll go turbo on my 2016 svho.

I have a used turbo kit minus the I/C and some miscellaneous items. It will bolt directly to the oem manifold and retain the mid-wall. The turbo will also need to be rebuilt/serviced. PM if you're interested.

My kit is bolt on. No trimming of mid wall, uses a fizzle. Just only have one. Need to get it on a jig & make some copies ha

Yes, your kit looks very well placed. Only con that I would review with your kit is the I/C piping which for turbocharged is too much plumbing and goes over the exhaust/hot side of the motor.

You can reverse your I/C setup by turning the U pipe from cooler to manifold to the rear and mount the I/C in that direction to eliminate the long piping and keep it on the cool side. Should spoil the turbo a couple RPM's faster by doing that [emoji1362]

My Kit design isn't for the faint of heart and building with a vision I've had on the table for some time now. The goal with my kit is to eliminate any reason for lag and weight as much as possible by fabricating shorter piping and by using a different exhaust manifold.



My concerns with lag will only be turbine housing and throttle body - the 2.0L strike and higher compression, ported/polished head, oversized exhaust valves and race cams should assist in a quicker spool along with the shorter piping. Max boost goal will be 25psi and will be running 109oct.

To save some additional weight, I'll be doing a full titanium down-pipe since that will use more material than the other areas that has piping. It should/will give a different note at higher RPM's as well [emoji41]

This is the kit I have sitting around. Will come with wastegate, turbocharger (rebuild/service needed), 2 manual boost controllers, oil return, up-pipe and down-pipe.

Good to know. Have a few things to put into place first. But deff a goal. Can you guys run the rear seat with no issues? And anyway to have a quieter exhaust? I Always see the exhaust coming right out the back and it’s loud.
