Some of you will know that since building my 211mph GPz750 turbo I've been involved with a dragbike team. While it would be a stretch of anyone's imagination to describe this bike as a KZ, it does share the same basic stud pattern, camchain etc., so I hope you don't mind me posting about it here.

Our aim is to make this bike the quickest turbo bike on the planet, bar none.

Read about it and follow our progress at stormdragbike.co.uk/blog/

Don't knock my turbo lag - it gives your naturally aspirated a chance..

No that's good! Pretty crazy stuff! Looks like a lot of hard work. Not much left from the original kz from the outside view any-ways, but that's probly normal for bikes like that. What are the dyno numbers for that beast?

Just to update this it seems like it is finally coming together. We've been working on getting the two turbos to do equal work. As they are different sizes this doesn't mean equal boost, it means equal pressure ratios. We're still on low boost, 18-20psi, but the large turbo is now supplying 5psi of that which isn't far off where we want to be. At that boost level the bike runs consistent 8.4s and 1.3s sixty foots. Considering it only has 3 gears, is geared for 260mph and weighs 800+lbs that's not too bad. It also burns out in top gear. We'll be turning the boost up a little next time out, but for now here's some video.
