Hi Guys, this is my first ever forum entry and I hope I am doing it right, I need some help.
I have an 09 ZX 14 w ~5k miles. I have only had it a short period of time when I decided to turbo the bike. I went with Cycle logic which uses the IHI VF22 turbo(sprung at 8psi max) and a rising rate fuel pressure regulator, rest of the motor is stock. I have all the dynojet goodies, PCV, WB2 w/autotune and the LCD 200. I used the Muzzy iginition advancer to retard the timing by 4 degrees for reliability. Installed the bonniville pro for speedo healing and to rid myself of the 186mph limiter. I am running pump gas (93 octane with NOS octane booster). Oh, recently had the bike dyno'd to make sure the AFR were in order and to keep the bike reliable (i can provide the results if it might help diagnose the problem). My bike is not a racer nor do I use it for track days, I am just an old fart that loves the feeling of torque and top speed mix in every now and then.
So, On a weekend ride last weekend, no real abuse at all but I did hit the rev limiter twice which I normally don't do, I normally shift at about 9k when getting on it... please remember, street bike here... but when stopped at a stop light it was noticed that smoke was coming out of the crankcase breather hose. being a turbo bike the crankcase vents into the atmosphere and not the airbox.
rode the bike home, even got into boost a couple times and it still felt strong. Decided to to a compression test to make sure I didn't hurt something, and behold...
With the bike warm, all plus removed and the throttle WOT here are the results:
#1 = 150 PSI
#2 = 75 PSI
#3 = 170 PSI
#4 = 110 PSI
Made me want to throw up... I thought I was doing everything correct and salf and have a reliable bike. I only got 800 miles on the turbo before this happened.
I am looking for advise. first off, what did I do wrong? second, how do I fix it? and third how do I keep it reliable still using pump gas?
I have learned so much from this website and i would appreciate any help you guys cud provide to getting me back on the road and reliable. Oh, one other thing, I was loging the ride with my dynojet equipment if anyone thinks that would help with the diagnosose..
Thanks
