your into-reverse habit is how the majority of the T-5 owning community (fox bodies and such) get into reverse since thats a bit difficult sometimes. also, i try to do what you do as well, getting into first. just driving around town, stop and go, i dont go straight to 1st. i always go into...

how many hours did you put into it is what youll have to consider. i usually charge $40/hr for general labor if i dont already have a set price for jobs like R&R engines, or guage installs, boost controller installs, etc. it took me an hour to do an LED conversion on this climate control...

lol... a 5mge doesnt rev like anything that we have been talking about... its gonna take alot more than just a shorter stroke my friend.

actually, i cant STAND parallel twin motors. at least, if they sound like the kawi EX500's. i MUCH prefer the sound of a 90* vtwin over a parallel twin or even I-4 bikes like the Gixxers and such. the V-5's confuse me though...

like i said, those cars have forged aluminum rods and pistons, high compression, massivly ported heads, large custom cams, small/multidisc clutches like a tilton, huge surgetank manifolds, 4" ic pipes, 5" thick intercoolers..and so on.

oh, i figured the guy knew what he meant when he said V-twin.. by L-twin, you mean a parallel right? like the old EX-500's... im just glad we arent talking about Gixxers, goddamn Me-too bikes!

surge tanks or air separater tanks for the fuel system are beneficial, but using a stock or upgraded intank pump to transfer fuel into a surge tank doesnt seem like itd work. flow out wont equal flow in. both sides of the equation are not equal. and most surge tanks arent big, like 1 liter...

a 2 stroke power output is akin to a 4stroke of double the displacment. soo, a 500cc 2-stroke sport bike is placed in the same class as a 1000cc 4-stroke bike. btw, crowers arent light. they are one of the heaviest aftermarket rods readily available for the supras.

touche... also a very nice bike. id still be down for an RC211v over any of those ;)

ill figure something out... i have a spare edit; the cross-sectional area of the turbine inlet is 2827mm2, the distance of turbine inlet flange where i measured is 118mm. when i divide 2827 by 118, its not a sensible solution. you sure thats how its done? am i supposed to divide by...

idk... i guess it COULD be worth the effort, at the outer limits. i mean between maximizing dwell time and primary coil saturation, you could get more spark energy to put off blow out at higher rpm's w/ high boost, methanol injection and C16.

i might ahve to take you up on that. im just hesitant to cut up my tail lights for the conversion... being that my car is fairly minty and low miles.

i know walbros have gone into the 900's but stock TT pumps have been pushed further, into 1000 range iirc. i know there are blocks configured like you said, either 8 or 10 in, and 6's or 8's out. they are probably aeromotive CNC'd blocks close to $100. the ones i like are the cast aluminum...

thats the second time ive heard someone say "circles". my other friend says to do that. thats not how i was taught as part of a Cert course.. i was taught to use a side to side U-motion, zigzagging and working my way down, or up... overhead, forehand, backhand, push, pull, butt, seam, lap...

i can imagine... youre a braver man than i. all i had planned on was using the prefab project pcb's... and eating the extra cost. but i wouldnt be using as many LED's as you did, so that might offset it a little. hey, actually, maybe you could do the LED boards im thinking of, with G35...

yeah, i acutally used thsoe donuts at the rear to hang the ends of my side exits. my RX7 used the same donuts too. i used a spare donut from the 87 parts car i had to hang the mid pipe too. they are easier to R&R than the later mounts though, sometimes.

lol... if you think the ducat is too expensive, take a look at the MV agusta... thatll make the ducat look like a great deal! i love V-twin sport bikes... except for Buell's. got i hate those toilets! my roommate has an RC51 and hes pretty good on it. it just Sound bad ass and i love the...

probably one of the most expensive ones youll ever find, along w/ the fmic they offer for the mk3 too, and the intake air box

BFR is also right. in neutral, the gearset spins. if you clutch it and go for reverse immediately, you WILL get in with a slight ker-chunk noise, kinda like an F250 with a Top-loader or a Chevelle with a Muncie M22. and no, reverse has no synchros... thats why it can grind if you go for...

man thats a good deal. you had to drill every hole on the pcb's for your components???
