I own a ZX750 sportbike and i love the thing, the speed is nice but in reality i never really even drive it fast.It can do 150 no problem without breaking a sweat, my bike has saw 100MPH 1 time ithat i have had it. I pretty much drive the speed limit where ever i go and usually am in the back because i am the slow rider, i like the fact that my insurance is low and the truth is i would rather drive slow i am more of a poser you could say(that what my friends say anyways)

Im 37 years old but in reality i am still a kid who likes his toys and wants to have fun. Now that that is out of the way i think people would better understand where i am coming from and when i say things like no i dont drive fast it's not BS its actually the truth, i just like to have the toys that can do it if needed. Now on with my question



I have just a stock 1987 GN and am going to order a few upgrades for it. First thing that will be done will be my spring cleaning of course. After that I am going to add this stuff i have below on my car. This is just a street car I just don’t see myself going to the track maybe once or so if that. I would just like to add a few performance parts to it. I don’t plan on racing everyone I come across but the few times I do decide to get on it with someone I don’t want to be a easy lay if you know what I mean, I would like to give a little bit of a challenge if I can. Can someone give me a recomendation on the parts i have listed below are pretty good mods to add to my 87GN Stock motor.

Model: Chrome 3.5 INCH MAF PIPE-INTEGRAL INLET TURBO 85.00


Big Mouth Intercooled Cold Air Systems

1.Chip Upgrade from ERIC@turbotweak

2.MAF Upgrade / K&N breather

3.Adj F/P regulator

4.Walboro 340 F/Pump and hotwire kit

5.Scantool

Thanks for your time if you can offer any suggestions

EDIT

What is a MAF and also what about putting in some new injectors as another performance mod. If new injectors are recomended any suggestions on what type to get.
 
sounds good for a decent driver- put that scanmaster 1st on your list though :biggrin:
 
I have the cold air kit on one car and just a hard MAF pipe and K & N on the other.
You can get a hard pipe & k & n used for under 100.
There are some new flowed 50# injectors on ebay for 240 which is a very good.
The MAF will not need upgrading unless it is not working correctly.
As Andrew said a scantool tool, an adjustable FPR and fuel gauge should be at the top of the list.
If you can run a test pipe instead of a CAT would be another good upgrade.
 
The best mod I've done to my car so far has been Razors alky kit. Man, what a difference. You can safely run 21-26 lbs of boost on pump gas :D . Its a completely different car. The kit is easy to install, works with the stock turbo, ic ect. You can't explain how good it feels to jump from 14psi to 26. ;)
 
Doing the spring cleaning is a good ideal but before you spend money on anything you need to baseline the car and confirm that everything you have is running good. Confirm you don't have a cracked header, trans is shifting properly etc.

This is a good page for this

Special attention to every thing that says verify....

Once your running the numbers listed in stage one you can go about adding stuff.
 
Forget the K&N, Get the air inlet filter kit from the "TinMan". Great systems, designed and tested on a flow bench. Fit great! 586-939-2410

Consider a 3" downpipe AFTER you get the fuel pump and scan tool/scanmaster. A downpipe with a good free flowing exhaust is one of the best upgrades you can do for a stock car. The turbo will spool quicker and the car will really wake up.

Do the spring cleaning too, don't skip anything either!
