Turbo diesel bike - Pirate4x4.Com Bulletin Board
About a year ago i got the itch to build a bike, but didnt want to do anything normal and wanted a real one of a kind bike. Thats when i decided to build this.
Its started with a chassis i ordered online and cut up in ways most would cringe to. Fitted a 3cyl yanmar diesel from a reefer unit.Bought parts and cut,welded,machined,bolted them up to all work together. After much tryal and error i had a bike. Then it was teardown for rebuild and paint.
Bored the block .005 , 8hrs of machine work later a perfect very high nickel content block. (pic is of block pre machine work)
Uh o cracked head
new head
back from powder coat
Injection pump mods, new injectors, timing advanved.
Together for the first time
Turbo was to big, lights not dot approved, so back to work. Replaced the turbo with a gt15 built 2.5" exhaust with wrap. Changed all the lights.
Some specs: 1000cc, 3cyl, 4000rpm governed, 6 speed trans, 3.35" open primary, gt15 turbo (until i get a gt1544) redesigned oil pan and pickup. Fuel system mods, springer seat, hydraulic clutch, electric remote water pump and more junk i dont care to list.
All came together to be a solid, comfortable, capable of hauling some serious *** bike. Does about 90 - 100 and gets there fast. Sounds mean to. Yet to be on a dyno, ill update when i do. Nitrous to be installed in the future. A cool function of the govenor is it does all the fueling for you, you pick an rpm and it fuels to meet that demand. Fun on hills when you keep the throttle put and hear the turbo spool up as the gov adjusts fuel. Fun bike and i cant wait til spring. It was in the single digits when i took the pics today.
(thats not my licence plate on there you stalker types, just for mock up)```
