Defo need to turbo mine next year

Now to put in some work to get the power down, and modify the throttle wheel to make the throttle pull alittle shorter :)

Wow. For context 1397cc R5 turbo had 120 bhp.

Have you seen this kit?

It's for DMTL, but might work on 32DIR?

Or do you mean to change the profile of the wheel into a quarter ellipse. That gives fine control at low speeds but quicker movement at wider openings.

That cables well expensive haha, max i will be spending is about £5 😂 Its not a wheel shape mate thats the problem its like a lever on a shaft, so maybe even fitting a wheel will be better, I'm most probably gonna bend something or attach the throttle cable to a differnt part of the lever.

Sorted it for £3 from a bike shop, the new cable design is awesome, and no theottle wheel modification 👍 And full pull on the wheel.

I hope you're going to take it along to the track day too

Been thinking about that do you drive yours down and back from scottland? Been thinking about if a trailer would be better or not.

I did last year and that is the plan this year too, Although hiring a trailer isn't expensive, certainly cheaper than getting recovered.

Well i have rac cover and track insurance with my insurance, apparently i can get recovered to any destination in the uk with the expensive cover they offer which i took out, not sure if a trailer would be a good move id have the boost wound up anyway 👍

Update on this, went on holiday didnt start it since end of december and now it wont fire up 😂 Changing coil pack hopefully that should sort it, might even fit my custom spi ignition setup if i can be bothered and all else fails.

Custom SPI ignition set up? What's that involve?

Cant tell you that mate 😉 Do some reaserch in the right places, all i can say a mix of ignition compnents that can achieve better timing to avoid det when on boost, and pretty much free comapered to nodiz ect 😂
