*Updated mystery hose identified* as I get deeper there are more??'s
cyoungesq replied to cecome's topic in The Garage
Re: those holes ... any chance someone was shooting NO2 into the intakes? Very symmetrical & can't think of any other reason to do that. Dunno about how those stacks would affect performance or that hose. Sorry. -
Do our '99's have an active limiter? I thought that didn't go into effect till 2000+

Windproof Waterproof warming layer
cyoungesq replied to cyoungesq's topic in Useful Product Links & Vendor Reviews
I tested it on a 1200 mile ride and it did fairly well. It is a bit like a wet-suit layer, except that it does have a fabric lining. Snug around the neck and wrists. Awesomely waterproof, and with a thin thermal layer underneath, it retained heat and did not cause sweating. Without the thin thermal layer underneath, I think that you are right ... it would not be able to wick away body moisture. It is a pretty nice wind and waterproof layer & was very comfortable in the colder fall New England. Down South, I took it off as it was 70+ F -

Aerocharger's reply to my inquiry .... Christian, Thanks for your interest in the Aerocharger Turbo. We do not manufacture a kit for any of the blackbird bikes. If you would like to build the kit yourself or have a performance shop build the kit you would need a 53 series with 143/300 trim. This turbo would cost $2050. If you have questions let me know. Thanks, -- Andrew Dey Design Engineer HiPerformance, LLC 913.541.0200

Windproof Waterproof warming layer
cyoungesq posted a topic in Useful Product Links & Vendor Reviews
Just got this in and think it's great for those long cold rides. Works as a layer over the cotton/merino wool thermal top and under a jacket/armor. U wont need anything else except maybe a T-Shirt over it if you don't want the "Iron Man" look. Waterproof, windproof and like wearing a sealskin shirt. Totally kills the chills. http://www.coloradokayak.com/NRS-Mystery-S...Mens-Longsleeve -
shelf is not big enough for the two. inside the side fairing works perfectly.

H7 I got the 5000 55w and it is a brilliant, unnatural white that really lights up the night. be sure to get two and be sure to specify 55w for each. on my '99, it was plug and play - no extra sealing needed. a little dielectric grease for the connections maybe.

Not so much a sacrifice in power as in smoothness. A little plateau in HP, but it seems its more that the AF "wobbles" quite a bit more than stock with them out causing a noticable "mushiness" (not lag) in acceleration. AF goes rich then lean from 2500 to 3700 before leveling out again. I hear that's one reason they put them in ... to smooth out the lower end.

There was a PC V, headers, and a really good tuner. The tuner had done a number of zx14s & showed us a few before-and-after maps (butterflies in then out) with the same increase up top. Some very minor sacrifice down low in the 2500 - 3500 rpms.
-
just back from dyno today ... me on my 99 bird & buddy on his 09 zx14. Removing the butterflies gave him a 14 hp increase to 174 and 4 lbs torque to 103. pretty impressive. Looks like they might help smooth out some "mushiness" between 2500 & 3500 rpms where the AF wavers.

Great prices on slim ballast HID
cyoungesq replied to Dion's topic in Useful Product Links & Vendor Reviews
I just put in the dual 55w w/ 5300 light and can't believe i didn't do it long ago. awesome light & easy install. i'm in the camp that believes in doing whatever we need to do to be seen - accordingly the superbright "unnatural" spectrum i think greatly increases day & night visibility to others. reflections off reflective street signs are almost glaring w/ high beam on. I just installed a volt-monitor from twisted throttle - indicates that when running both high/low lights at idle w/ brake lights on, charging is under 11.5. maybe the 2 yr old battery.
