the reason i made the comment about nitrous to rick is because from my understanding he came up with a salution to the efi/nos problem. a few months ago, he was telling me that he found a way to spray nos on the big bad busa. his only problem at that time was that he needed to find some body to get it in production. now i hear that "nitrous express" is going to have it available in december. i'm sure that t-rick had something to do with it.
if thats the case, and thats part of his product, then HALE...to turbo rick! thats a big step, and the opening of a major door for for all fuel injected bikes!
all we need now is the same kind of talent to work on the fuel delivery system. like boosting fuel pressure.
but most important! the engineers at suzuki need to come up with a completly differant ignition system on the busa. the one thats in there now, throws alot of red flags on things that need to be adjusted like being able to control timing. also it needs one that will let you move your cam timing around. these are all things your not going to be able to do until someone makes a completly differant ignition system.
the only bandade you can do for it in the mean time is put a dyna ignition and carbs on it. those are my plans until the other deal can get figured out. when will that be?
.....who knows? but as long as we have people like t-rick in the industry, it may happen sooner than.....never
also, i forgot to metion that there is currently no way to control the rev limiter, noway to make it not come on when you don't want it to. like on my bike, it wants to build power way past the point where the stock limiter shuts the bike down. when we did my dyno, it showed that it was increasing in hp when the rev limiter shut it down. that makes it imposible to know exactly how much hp it's capable of.
i could keep going but i'll stop because i'd like to hear some good input on what i've had to say already.......frank
