What did you do today to your 3/S?

[93STLTH]

How the hell are you Tom. I still talk to Tony and Dale some. What happened to Frank? Put my 97 VR-4 on the road in 2013. The 92 is on Jack stands in the back yard. Have a nice 4th. Dave.

Hey Dave! Good to see you're still in the 3S game. Frank is in Texas, but he's kind of disappeared lately. As you can see, I'm in South Florida now, getting ready to make a move into the upper Keys.

I did it all myself, about 6 hours taking my time, 3-4 hours finding way to get the old steering wheel puller to fit and unlatch the old boss kit. Boy that was a nightmare! I enjoy having a quick release steering wheel plus, it's a nice theft deterant.

No pictures or videos at the moment, but swapped the exhaust on the Daytona out for a Jardine slip on and factory manifold that has been ceramic coated and had the EXUP removed. Hopefully helps with some of the heat issues. I have my doubts. I suspect I'll need to drop the cash for Swaintech to get a finish that will work.

Also put flush mount signals up front, and tank grips on. Currently working on popping this headlight apart so I can retrofit HID projectors in there, tomorrow I will be deleting the SAI and finishing the removal of the ram air flapper valve since that system is just noise reduction related (and is non operative atm.)

If I have time, will try to install my new clip ons and do the front brakes as well, but likely have to wait till next weekend to do it.

quick release from NRG is good but that steering wheel... Terrible, and looks dangerous.

Retrofit is done for the headlights, and looks great..Trying to get them resealed now, this crap take forever to cure (1 week for full cure, like 8 hours for a decent partial cure.) Will try to get it all wrapped up tomorrow morning..The list of things I've done has been rather extensive and I'm looking forward to getting it all back together:
New ceramic coated exhaust with Jardine slip on (sounds much better than the low end Two Brothers that came on it but it is loud as hell), new Watsen Designs flush mounts painted to match the bike, the bixenon HID retrofit, EXUP deleted, cat deleted, intake flapper gutted, SAI deleted, new tank grips, new clip ons, new grips on the bars, new front brakes. Have flashed the ECU to remove the EXUP, flapper and SAI functions, but will be taking it to get it actually dyno tuned. Typical results for new slip on and all those deletes is about 5-6whp, which is rather significant on something that only weighs about 600 pounds with rider.

Looking forward to retrofitting new HID projectors into my BMW and maybe even into the VR4 as well. Thankfully since I work on CNCs for a living, shouldn't be too tough to cut a small bracket out of some thin gauge aluminum or HDPE to adapt and use the stock adjustments.

Some videos from the finished work of the bike over the weekend. I'll snap some good pictures of it once I get it all cleaned up and maybe get the garage cleaned out some.

I pulled the 3.5 out and put a 3.0 back in the 3000. Since doing the turbo conversion in 2010, this is the first actual "turbo engine" that I've put in it. It runs now but it seems like the tune is way off. I'm thinking about starting from scratch. I've just kept the same map modifying it with each change.

[sergechronos]

Probably a good idea to go back to scratch. What makes you say that the tune is way off though?

[Uniuno]

Fuel trims are way off. 130 low, 120 mid, 98 high. When taking off from a stop there is no power there unless I rev it a little. I've manually put it in time with the CAS, I guess I haven't really looked at the fuel pressure since I've had it running.

Never tuned before, learning as I go.
