[ST] FW: [Scratchers] Nixon - eat your heart out...



[Tom Keith is a fellow Oklahoman; i've met him. this is a post from his
son to a friend; i have no clue who Nixon is, apparently it ain't the late
prez]

Imagine a the comfort of an ST with 10-20+ hp more than your GSXR1000...

Introducing the Sprint STT... The extra T is for Turbo...

After NINE MONTHS, Dad finally has his turbo kit installed.  He can run
six
pounds of boost with pump gas and eight pounds of boost with 100
octane.  The following pics show the bike in various stages (no particular
order).  The Turbo is that big thing in front of the engine with the K&N
filter on it:

Yes, Dad is a little touched in the head.  He's just got a crazy thing for
turbos.  After the initial test run, the turbo is no longer operating.  He
expects he's got a pinched vacuum line or something similar that will just
require a hunting expedition.

Before the boost quit working, he described it like a giddy schoolboy
getting his first bicycle.  At six pounds there is almost no lag, and it
comes on strong but predictably... of course, it's only predictable once
you're used to it... He wasn't used to a 2nd gear wheelie on a Sprint at
5K
rpm without trying to...  Eight pounds of boost only lasted a few seconds
before the problem surfaced, but his description was something like "I
can't even describe it."

Dad will likely visit within the next year.  When he does, I'll let you
all
know so you can see this thing... ;-)
