gpz 750 turbo

Well thanks for the post kawadave,had a gander at your pix and i started drawling ,WOW very nice bike looks great puts my old girl to shame but hopefully one day i will be able to show mine off.Is yours original or a full resto job.Anyway if i need some info i give you a call.Thanks

No worries bear,bought it new in 83,one of the 1st in the country.
It sat dormant for 8 or so years and started to get a bit untidy so decided to pull her down completely and freshen it up.
2packed the frame, tins and associated bits and rebuilt the top end.

After joining 750turbo.com,added a few mods,BOV,adjustable FPR,intercooler,liquid filled boost gauge,boost controller,put it in race mode and fitted a K&N filter straight on to the turbo,removed the original plastic air duct and have a straight through exhaust.

All these mods benefit the longevity of these rockets and make them go harder.

A couple of guy's on the pommy forum have managed to extract over 200mph runs on these old things.

Yes i can see you have put in the hard yards and it shows with the final product but as for all these mods they are over my head with me being a amature with bikes but i am happy to put it back together the way it came out,thats just me but every body has their own ambitions with their dream machines

Bear I have no problem with you wanting to keep your bike stock,and good on you for that.

When it comes to amature motorcycle mods don't worry and let me assure you I'm no genius when it comes to that

However I hope that Honda turbo does the job may be you would have been better of with a Garrett GT15, 17 or 20.

Good luck,catch you later.

Gee dave you got me worried about the turbo i bought as i dont no a god dame thing about them on bikes.Do u think it wont fit or itwont be capatible with the bike or whats the story.More info would be appreciated Cheers Bear

I did mention Honda turbo,but don't really know what that one came off to be honest.

But can tell you the exhaust flange looks pretty similar to the kawa 1.

A aussie bloke from turbo forum offered me a rebuilt kawa HT10 turbo for $500,but never got back to me.
Could look into that further if you like.

yeah dave it was advertised honda,kawasaki gpz so fingers crossed for my bank account it will fit and do the job as for that one you are talking about i will wait for mine to turn up and go from there.

OK mate I understand,

I'm sure that that turbo will work fine,its just a matter of matching the exhaust flange to the turbo flange.

Just remember that turbo bikes are reasonably simple things,the exhaust gas spins the turbo and then forces air into the plenum "air box"through the injectors to the motor.

Have you seen the 750turbo.com site ? Don't be afraid to join up,there's heaps of advise there to be had.

WOW i should have done my homework a bit better before i jumped in and bought that one but i will say a little prayer and hope it fits .i have joined the 750turbo site and havnt asked any questions yet but have been doing a lot of reading on there forum and find it queit interesting even though a lot of it goes over my head but hey im slowly learning

thats the best way to start anything mate - just take your time and keep reading all the info you can find......then read it again. That turbo site is gold for any info you will be looking for.....while you are sorting stuff out for the turbo, you can start on all the simple things on the bike that will need sorting out anyway.......wheel bearings, changing all the fluids etc - greasing up pivot points for the suspension linkages, detailing all the small bits......there is a shitload of stuff you can do for little expense - just a lot of elbow grease ....

while on the bludge for info i have a old 1980 z250 i was going to restore before the 750 came along but does any body know how to get rust out of the inside of a petrol tank

A lot of people have had success using this......http://www.por15.com/HD-CYCLE-TANK-REPA ... fo/HDCTRK/

Thanks Dave i will give it a go.Hey u and Gos should team up and start your own forum there is nothing u pair dont seem to know about things unless yous are filling me full of bullshit just joking guys your info has been very helpful ,keep up the good work

*whisper* Gos --- > see if you can trade some more info and prise that z 250 out of 'is hands. Mels/ Daves/everyones KH100 bucket could use the front end out of it *wink*

Oh crap I seem to have said that out loud

wobbly i heard that.I paid $450 for it u can have it for that.Bad points.....has rust on all chrome,engine i think has been sprayed black,and so has tank.Good points.....it goes but needs good tune and its all there.Another bad point by the time u pay freight to melborne probably not worth the beer drinking money
