MONDAY DAD: What TOP SPEED are you shooting for ? and what distants to get their ?? JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A KILL LANDYARD and not the stupid kill button on the handlebar ......... IRON PONY in Columbus sells them for $20 cheaper than a life flight $5900.

I'd figure that to be mandatory.

156! Two strokers amaze me. After getting my gt380, I tossed around the idea of building a 2 stroke for bonneville. Bought and read the two stroke tuners handbook. Just seemed daunting to build a real one, plus I knew way more about turbo 4 strokes.

Lanyards are required by the rules.

That bunch of intake parts that you see in message #89 are coming together into one piece. Matt's been putting the final touches on the intake runners that Dave welded together for him. (Dave did a really nice job: helps to get a guy who welds aluminum all day long!) Lots of reaming to get the rightt bore and curves. I'm sure he'll post some pictures soon, though he's posted a few on the Facebook site already. The injectors arrived late last week, and he's been working on the fuel rail too... making "bung holes"... let the jokes begin!

I decided to cut the exhaust manifold in half to grind the non-back purge welds out of the runners....only to find that they werent very bad at all. good way to waste an entire night!

Oil pump headed to TTR to get modified by Kevin.

Really starting to stress about fitting everything on the bike too. After the turbo/intercooler/intake manifold/ piping are on, all the space from the rear tire to the head is pretty much used up. Still have to fit the megasquirt box, fuel pump/regulator, intercooler water pump, battery, and im sure more stuff I'm forgetting.

Why make spilt gas tank and put all the electronics in the back half
You should only need a gallon or so of gas

MondayLSR · « **Reply #107 on:** January 18, 2013, 12:24:43 PM »

Similar to the current plan, but with the air/water intercooler we need a big water/ice tank. So the plan is to use a small 1.5 gal tank up front (rule state it must be 1L minimum) and then behind it have a large water tank. Electronics are going to go behind the rider in the seat cap.

Well its sound like its going to be real cool can't wait to see it done .
Best of luck to you at the salt one day I'll go sound like my version of heaven

Thanks Chris

. You definitely should come out

Don't hesitate to post if you have any other ideas or suggestions.

Old Scrambler · « **Reply #110 on:** January 20, 2013, 08:04:10 PM »

I think that was a typo on the fuel tank size.......should be 5L minimum. Good on the combo tank idea........I think cold fuel equals more power

MondayLSR · « **Reply #111 on:** January 20, 2013, 08:06:47 PM »

Yup youre correct, 5L. Damn metric system.

chris mcshifty · « **Reply #112 on:** January 20, 2013, 10:33:37 PM »

I believe that's right heated fuel robs power . So coolered fuel is better
Maybe a heat shield between the gas tank and engine and a cover
over the fuel line . Used to do it on dirt bikes in enduros

MONDAY: You should meet SHAWN GARRIGAN a Funny bike and Top Fuel builder that use to live in Dayton,OH area but moved to NC. He built everything including his trailer, great dreamer and builder and his mentor was ELMER !!!! He was a engineer and they called him PROFESSOR and he could weld and run any CNC tool making eqipment. Keep making CHIPS and your dream will be a life long adventure.
Still got that free CB750A HONDA for you when you are ready for the next project.

Sounds like an awesome dude POPS. I will look into him. I appreciate the encouraging words, I have been going hard at it and its awesome to have your support. Still too busy to take on your 750 though

Its been a crazy week. A lot of grinding and running around. I am a slave to my intake manifold right now, but its slowly paying off. Enough talking.........pics

How many of you have done this before?

My awesome girlfriend tossed some old parts together in our living room. My kind of home decorating!

And she let me wash it with our dishes

Huge thanks to APE for putting together a 350 stud kit!

Getting some measurements in prep for some custom pistons

Off to Cali in the morning so they have a piston to reference!

Beautiful set up man u got some skills

Nice welds man, good looking work.

MondayLSR · « **Reply #117 on:** January 24, 2013, 04:20:07 AM »

Thanks. Wish I could claim the welds, but my buddy Dave Zupan did them. He's pretty talented.

Syscrush · « **Reply #118 on:** January 24, 2013, 07:01:29 AM »

Wow. Love it. There's some great attention to detail there, I feel like I can see the efficient laminar flow just looking at the shapes, straight shots, and smooth blends.

Many levels above the usual "screw it, the turbo'll stuff everything into the head anyhow" approach. Very excited to see how this thing works once it's all together.

That is my verison of fine art there . Absolutely beautiful . Thumbs up

Hey Matty, if this guy says you have nice looking welds, then I guess you have nice looking welds.

syscrush and chris- Thanks for the positive words! The positive feedback you guys are giving really makes it that much more exciting

jim- Thanks, and again it was my friend Dave Zupan that did the welding. He seems to be getting a lot of positive attention after posting these pictures on the web. He holds himself to a extremely high standard (maybe a little too high sometimes

) We do plan to pressure check it also. just need to build a simple plate with a fitting where the throttle body will go, and install the injectors. He works at C&R Racing (http://www.crracing.com) and has easy access to pressure testing equipment.

MondayLSR · « **Reply #123 on:** January 24, 2013, 09:32:18 PM »

Here it is guys and gals, nearly done... I need to smooth out the injector bungs from the inside with the ole die grinder, and figure out how to tie down the fuel rail.

chris mcshifty · « **Reply #124 on:** January 24, 2013, 09:35:07 PM »

Maybe add piece to the top of the air box to hold it in
