2016 Pumpkin seed build...
sandblaster:
Oh yeah... Look what showed up from the Annodizer today
Blasted all that nasty orange pumpkin rhine right off the parts and then sent them to Scot Schneider.
He took them to his good buddy Kenny at Precision Anodizing in Oklahoma City.
Here is a link to his Facebook page

I had him try and match the color of a cooler I already had.
As you can see the parts turned out great!
Thanks Scot and Kenny.
I really appreciate it!
sandblaster:
Wow... Using a Power Dynamo Ignition on this conversion will only require a new mounting bracket and a bit of trimming..
Easy money..
sandblaster:
ooooohhhhh.... Shiny :-o
DoldGuy:
So what's the history on the crank?
sandblaster:
Turbo cranks have come and gone over the years.
Some say they work others have had no success.
I admit that I am a skeptic until I see it, feel it, smell it, or put it on the dyno lol.
So, I'm gonna put it on the dyno.
Steve Parris contacted me about a year or so ago and told me what he was up to.
He's spent a lot of time getting a patent and like he said, I would not have done that if it does not work.
I said, well... I have heard that others have not had any success with the turbo cranks.
He said, 'That's because they did it wrong."
After we talked for a bit it suddenly occurred to me why they did not work for some...
They did not modify their cases to take advantage of the mod.
Steve verified my thought...
Next Steve told me about the write up that Dirt Bike Magazine did on the crank.
After testing they verified that 10-15% HP and torque increases were gained.
Soooooo... It's time to see what it does for a KX500.
I have two KX500 engines built to the same specs.
One with the Turbo crank and the other without.
Once the second engine is completed we will break it in, jet it, and run both engines back to back on a dyno.
Then I will reveal all to the world :-)
This specific crank is going on my KTX project.
I figured why not... If it works I smile... If it doesn't I'm out a few bucks :-o
But I have it from a extremely reliable source that it does work... And I trust that source....
More to come....
