I also did the famous ZX12 pilot jet mod (google it for more info). It's usually done to smooth out hte idle on a header equipped ZX12R. I did it to help insulate the inlet air pressure sensor from boost pressure. I also did some other things to help with that but I have no pictures of it all yet. Mikuni 12.5 pilot jet: Installed in the vacuum hose for the IAPS: That's all for today. I'll post more pics of today's progress and tomorrow's progress later.

Had to gain clearance for the fuel return line as well: Before: During: After: I needed clearance for the injector plugs as well: After:

I had my work cut out for me to install the zx14 injectors. There was alot of minor modding to do to he fuel rail and throttle bodies. The ZX14 injector is way shorter than the ZX12R injector. To install the injectors I had to "shorten" the mounting area on the throttle bodies and fuel rail. I removed 0.100" from the TB's fuel rail mounting pads and 0.100" from the fuel rail mounting tabs. The rest of the distance was made up by installing the lower o-rings from the 12's injectors below the 14's o-rings. This stack-up and the material removal on the top part closed the distance enough to install the 14's injectors. Upper rail before grinding: After: Throttle Body's fuel rail mounting pad after: Injector mounted:

Today was a busy day for me. I had to fix a heat issue with a fairing, install the ZX14 fuel injectors, mod the throttle body to accept the ZX14 fuel injectors, mod the vacuum system to support the 3 bar map sensor, and a couple other things. Here's pics of the progress: Exhaust pipe ( even though it's heat wrapped) melted into the insulation and dimpled the fairing. I caught it before it did any real damage. You can see the dimple on this one: I stopped at Jeg's on the way home from work last night and got an adhesive heat shield. Then I installed it today.

Just got word there will also be a test & tune tomorrow. The owner just verified it. Gates open at 5pm.

There will be a test & Tune on Saturday. The gates open at 10 A.M.

Thanks. I still have a bunch of things to do to it. I'll spend tomorrow and Thursday addressing some issues with it and hopefully be able to twist the throttle with bad intentions by Thursday night. I have some insulation to install, wiring work to do, mapping/programming work, fuel system work, oil line tweaking and a few dozen other things to address. I also got a chance to talk to an engine & chassis builder today that I've known for many,many years. He surprised me with a little information I'll be putting to use on this bike. I'm looking forward to trying it and seeing the results.

I will have better information Wednesday evening as to what the schedule will be for Thursday and/or Saturday.

That's really cool as hell of you to do that for somebody.

I was told tonight that there is a tentative plan to hold a test n tune at Kilkare on Thursday afternoon. I won't have confirmation until Wednesday evening for that though. They're going to be testing the track electronics and timing systems this week to try to be open Thursday. They may also have a t n t on Saturday . Again I won't know anything until Wednesday at the earliest.

Welcome to Ohio. You know there's a dragstrip REALLY close to you, right?

I went by the track today. It's still closed but the concrete all appears to be poured (at least what I could see from the road). A friend told me that next Saturday will be a test and tune day open to everyone. I hope somebody on here can confirm this....I have no idea what the hours will be. Might be a great day for an O.R. get together at the track.

If you marry the right one she'll drive across 3 states during the night to bring you parts to rebuild a race engine before the gates open for competition the next day. Mine's done it once....

It works.

I spent most of today going over the PCV and Autotune stuff to make sure I had it right. I don't want to smoke any new toys on engine start up because I wired something backwards. The Autotune requires a switched 12v power source but the wire as no connector on it so you need to connect it however you want to a power source. I had all those connectors left over from modding the PCV so I decided to re-purpose a couple. The connectore that went to the #1 fuel injector had red wires in it so I used that set of connectors to attach to the tail lamp circuit (same as the PCV) and make it so I can unplug the Autotune if it ever becomes necessary. I spliced into the old PC III power connector so the stock wire harness is untouched and I can literally unplug all the hot rod parts and remove them without leaving any trace they were there. Right now I'm waiting on my lap top computer to charge so I can calibrate a couple things and fire the bike up.

I had to cut up a perfectly good and new PCV to get it mounted on my 12. I started out with the wiring diagram for the 12 and labelled everything for the 12's old pc III. I used someone else's research on the PCV to label it. Then I started cutting and splicing. The PCV: The PC III: Before: During: After: I just need to program it and put it on the bike. Hope it works....:ohno

Thanks. I hope to be riding it daily, soon.

The last part is ZX14 Throttle bodies. I'm taking the fuel injectors and installing them in my 12. This should be the last part of a fuel system capable of feeding this beast.

I got a PC V and autotune. Dynojet doesn't make one for the ZX12R's, so if you want one you have to be willing to modify a brand new one intended for another bike. I'm using one for the 2007-08 GSXR 1000's. It will work with another part I received today: This is my original ECU just back from getting hacked. I had the rev limit raised to 12,700rpm. I hope to drag race and do some LSR events when I have the opportunities and I want the bike ready to load up and go. I don't want to be scrambling to get it together to make an event, so I'm doing everything I can right now to have it ready to go. That's why I spent the extra down time (even though I already have the bike running) to get the ecu hacked and now I'll be wiring everything together. Once this is all done it should be; let me repeat that; SHOULD BE as trouble free as possible. We alll know how that works though. Stuff breaks. At the worst possible time usually. Here's the hacked ECU: Bottom view with the programming cable hooked up: To mod these older ECU's you have to cut them open and solder on the circuit board. Here's the cut-outs: Cable removed: Here's the top view: You have to cut into this side to access the board to perform the mod. Once the mod is done you don't need to access this side anymore. The programming cable is for going back into the computer and setting the fuel tables, etc.... I also have a 3-bar map sensor coming that I will be wiring into this system so I can safely run up to 28-30 pounds of boost and this system will be able to control the fuelling of the system. That's the plan anyway. We all kno how plans go when mechanical and electronic toys are involved.... I don't ever plan to run that much. The most I plan to run will be no more than 20 and it will more likely stay in the 14-17lbs of boost range. That will come after I tear the engine down and add turbo pistons, etc. so the engine will live. All this part of the build is possible due to insight and information provided by other enthusiasts who are much smarter than me. They did all the research and development on this type stuff.I'm just trying to combine all that into one workable solution for my project. All I did was listen to what they had to say.

Alot of parts have finally shown up via UPS, US Mail and a local bike shop: My day looks to be a really good one.

2006 is a 440cc injector. 09-newer is 330cc with a better tip. I need the 06-07 injectors to support the fuel requirements due to the duty cycle of the injectors.

welcome to the forum.

Here's a list of the stuff that has been added to the bike. There are a couple on here that are not installed yet: ZX14 Fuel injectors PCV & Autotune K&N Air Filter I've paid for them and they are on their way. As soon as I get them they will be installed.
