Hi, I've been putting this off for a long time, but my wife and I will be leaving the country in about 6 months to join the Peace Corps, so I'm putting up my turbo zx14 for sale. I bought this bike brand new from Hillsboro Motorsports in February of 08. It was built out of the crate the day I bought it, and I rode away from the dealership with 0.5 miles on the odometer. I am the only owner, the bike has never been down, and it has a free and clear title. I'm willing to ship the bike to anywhere, but the buyer will pay all shipping costs. I've researched it quite a bit, and shipping to the east coast will cost between $500-$900.
Here's a list of the mods.
Engine:
Cycle Logic Turbo kit with upgraded 20g turbo (450hp capable) and external 38mm TiAL wastegate. Lots of custom stuff done to this as well, such as a blow off valve, tig welded dump pipe, etc...
Cometic 0.070" head gasket (lowers compression to about 10.29:1)
APE adjustable cam sprockets
Adams boxed oil pan
OSR oil cooler block off plate
Muzzy's SMOG block off plates
AEM dryflow air filter
Carpenter valve springs
Gann multi-stage lock up clutch
Fuel System:
Walbro 255 lph in tank fuel pump
Bosch EV1 700cc injectors
Electronics:
Power commander V with external 3 bar gm map sensor
MPS Air shifter
Chassis:
Evil Swingarms chromoly 7-11" over with built in air tank
Trac Dynamics revalved shock and 11.0 kg spring
Buell footpegs
Brocks lowering brackets
Soupy's adjustable lowering links
EK DRZ-2 chain
Vortex 16 tooth front sprocket
New Shinko 008 tire
zx10r front fender and brackets
Misc:
Boost gauge and fuel pressure gauge on billet mounting brackets
Manual boost controller
PROS:
The bike makes FANTASTIC power. 252whp at only 6 psi of boost. You can safely run 8 pounds on pump gas and who knows how high you can run on race gas. Someone with a similar turbo kit (but smaller turbo) just made over 380whp on a STOCK motored zx14 on e85 and 16 psi of boost.
I'm the original owner, never been down, clean and clear title.
CONS:
I've dynoed the bike and it runs great at idle and 100% throttle, but there's some sort of bug that makes the bike stumble and buck at any throttle input in-between.
Paint is good, but there are a few imperfections
Front tire has good tread, but it's and older tire
I tried stripping the powder coating on the caliper brackets (on the lower part of the front shocks), but I wasn't able to completely get all of the powder coating off on the inside. I'm not completely happy with how it turned out, and I was planning on getting them redone, but never had the time.
SUMMARY:
The bike is a pussy cat off boost, and a MONSTER on boost. There is almost NO lag to speak of. On the street, you'll see full boost in between 3-4k rpm!!!
I don't have the time and or energy to devote to this bike any longer. My loss is your gain. I'm selling this at a SIGNIFICANT market reduction because it's not 100% perfect. I'm sure it's just some simple bug (a blown fuse, pinched vacuum line, etc) that's making the bike stumble and buck, but like I said, I just want to sell it at this point.
