    xs dragbike

    I saw this bike last yesterday while I was marshalling at a local sprint. Had a quick chat with the owner Dave Clee and he sent me these photos as I didn't have my camera. I couldn't get many details except it's obviously running a garrett turbo, has nitrous fitted, it's got RC 1220 pistons and running stock conrods!! It has a neat outrigger setup for the chain-drive conversion but otherwise it don't look too far from a stock engine.

    I'll be seeing it again it a few wweeks I'll try to get some more details off him. Here's the pics:

      Ok thats just way to cool! I noticed he's still running the stock front end, wheel, one brake, and maybe a highly modified frame?

      You've got to get this guy to post on here!

        He is also running a Magneto ignition on it. Look at the cover on the left, no room for pickup coils, and no need for a battery. The Mag is behind the jugs. Saves more weight, and it's on or not.
        I would like to find out a little more information on the Turbo, as I'm looking to put one on my "project" bike.

          I wonder about the tranny. Think he's done the 2nd gear fix?? lol Is that silver bottle the nitrous, or is it a presurized fuel bottle for what looks to be fuel injection?

              I asked him what was being driven by the belt on the left behind the cover and he said "distributor", so I guess he's running a high-output coil and a rotary distributor.
              I'll get a closer look at the turbo I think it's a T3/T04. The guy doesn't know what the power output is I asked him. The silver bottle is for nitrous, it's a draw-through carb setup not fuel injection (If I built it then it would be blow-through and FI).
              I didn't get a lot of time to talk to him but I will next meet and I'll take my camera too. He hadn't owned the bike long, if I can get the previous owners name I might shoot him an email.
