Yamaha R1 turbo build and results

[ClutchMaster]

Thought I would break up the dog days of summer with a build I started a year ago. Results finally have come in and they have exceeded expectations

Here’s some pics

After jet Hot coating

The lighter color of the header darkened right up after it was heated a couple times and now matches the darker red of the bike almost perfect, just got lucky on that I guess.

The bikes final horsepower was 327 horsepower dialed back from 339 horsepower for reliability. The motor hit a wall at 300 horsepower without the ignition module due to the fact timing wasn’t adjustable and it was past MBT with VP import fuel, so we put a module on and bam another 40 ponies.


Most events were canceled due to the Rona virus but she was able to go to the Arkansas mile event and make some runs. The results were impressive yielding 219 miles per hour on the first day! The second day she had a 227 mph run that broke three records and gave her a victory at the event. Not to shabby

The speedo is way off in the video due to huge gearing changes.

There was a $70k race version H2R at the event....... he wasn’t even close.

Mr H2R

This poor guy didn’t know what hit him after talking a fair amount of poop the first day.


Guess he will just need to spend more $$$$

Awesome work! Just because a lot of people haven't turbocharged the r1 doesn't mean they can't make great power. When you added the ignition module did you end up have to retard ignition in the higher boost to get the extra 40 ponies? I had a situation like that is why I ask.
