Got 2 2008 ZX14 myself. One with 87,000 tuned and straight headers. Other one is 10,000 and I’m ordering a stage 2 kit from Richard as well along with pistons, rods, valves and springs.. etc. Keeping stock swingarm ( wish me luck ). Great build.
Very enjoyable video. You have one of the nicest and fastest ZX-14's in the world. It was trouble, but now you've got something extra-special. Ride safe Kawi brother!
Glad I found this vid. I totaled a new 2016 zx14R SE last month on my way back from Pikes Peak when it was thrown off the hauler in an accident, and am going to build that engine. Video of your build was helpful.
lol thank you man you save my ass because my engine is making a sound the i think he coming from the cam chain bot i want to check out the rod bearing to see if the sound coming from there i have a 2010 kawasaki zx14r i love this beast and nice build.
Hey what kind of water injection did you use? Building the same turbo bike too. Also the afr/ guages are needed too. Any model numbers are cool. Ie. Snows Performance. Thanks
Biggest LIKE man .. enjoyed the montage and gotta admit ur dedication in this massive project .. always remember: if it ain't hassle U; U ain't earn it 🤘
you should put a after oiler in it especially since you like to pull in clutch after a hard pull cuts oil off to turbo never pull in clutch and idle down quick after a hard pull the after oiler works all mechanical pretty kool have a container that pumps oil into it before the turbo oil inlet have a check valve on the in side od oil line then run other line out the bottom side by side the container fills up with oil and container becomes ppressureized compressing the air on top inside container the pressureized air pushes oil into turbo even after engine is shut down the turbo never starves for oil you probbably did damage to the bearing on your first turbo like that im thinking and the rcc guys were way kool fliping you another one lucky guy see your luck isnt all that bad really
hey dude can you explain to me about the water meth ... were u using e85 on this build.. were did you install the water meth model .. please im mid build atm
YA KNOW WHAT I WANTED TO DEW WAS GET A ULTRA 310 TOP END AND PISTONS FROM TYHERE WATERDRAFT AND SLAP THAT ON THE 14 YOU COULD RUN THE WHOLE TOP[ END I BET AND HAVE A FACTORY ZX15 WITH MORE THAN 319 HP WITH TURBO CAUSE TURBO WAY BETTER THAN SUPERCHARGER . IM KNOING THEY HAD PLANS FOR A ZX15 BUT SETTLED FOR A H2 IM THINKING IM KNOIN
its alot of headache making a turbo run hard and be streetable did you push the water alcohol injection with manifold pressure ? just wondering that way it squirts only under boost a after oilier is a good thing to invest in just put a check valve in a resiour thats inline of oiling the turbo and the resivoiur fills up building pressure in the resiviour when you shut bike off the pressure in tank pushes the oil threw the turbo after shut down so if turbo still spinning it gets oiled kind of kool i had a z1 1327 cc turbo i raced for 20 years one time fuel petcock fell apart the nipple came out then the turbo was right below the petcovck it was dumping fuel vp 116 right on hot turbo i seen my nuts burning in my head so i pulled in the clutch shut it down got to the pits fixed petcock started bike blue smoke from hell beasring gone new turbo time 600 bucks down the drain oh well live and learn never shut down engine after hard pull no oil to turbo melts bearing seal will not seal on shaft that is moving all over the place the ceramic bearing turbos are more forgiving but still hard on them to
Great job!Expose that idiot who did the dyno work lucky for him did seize the engine.I plan on putting the same RCC Turbo this winter on my 2008 special edition zx14. Since I live about 1.5 hours away from RCC and I hear its the best turbo for the zx14. Is there a chance I can email you. Nice job you have a lot of patients
Jackson Welch supersport head is high compression. I probably could have got away with it running low compression pistons but at first my plan was to use the stock pistons.
Ok I have a nitrous zx14 that I bought and its knocking louder than fireworks on my second day with it and notices you pulled the head and stuff without pulling the whole motor do you think I’ll be able to replace the rod bearing and main bearing without pulling the whole motor
BAM Video hey me again I have two phones but yea pulled my pan and it’s rod bearings so ordering that Tuesday but wanted to ask where did ou get the gauge overlays I’m trying to get some that says 210 instead of 180 cause I’m planning to turbo my bike even though it already has nitrous
Some Dude ya 10k sounds crazy and just looking at the bike you'd never know it! But it really does cost that much to do what I did. Also I'd love to know where to buy a ball bearing gt28 turbo for $150! Lol
ok so $250 stead of 150. let's lie an say 800 (price of dual ceramic ball bearing precision turbo) still don't justify 10k but your on CZcams so I guess it cost 20k
Some Dude the turbo kit alone will set you back close to 6k. Now add the cost of a wossner pistons, new head, valve springs, valve shims, gaskets, head gasket, water meth injection kit, custom water meth tank, dual iat gauge, (2) innovate dual display gauges.. one for oil pressure and fuel pressure, the other for boost and afr, materials for making brackets, tank, etc dynojet pod 300, dynojet autotune, clutch plates, brocks clutch springs, brocks clutch spring spacers, race fuel for tuning, wasted money on dyno appointment and anything else I may have missed and maybe you can start to see how I have 10k into this build. Do a little research here man... it takes a lot of time and money to do what I did.
Some Dude there are no stickers on my gauges, they don't suck anything when I ride, my bike doesn't have climate control, there isn't anyone with a zx-14 running a $100 turbo, and all turbos need oil lines! Hahaha everything I said I have above is in the video.... there's no bs in what I'm saying! Weather you feel it's overpriced or not.. that's what I have and that's what it cost!
well ill never pay that much cus I'm not a dumb ass. an you shouldn't include in the video that you put a new overlay on already owned gauges if your going to claim you got new/different gauges
RUN A SCAVENGE PUMP ON TURBO RETURN TO CRANKCASE OIL LINE I BET IT WILL QUIT SMOKING MAKE SURE TURBO BEARING AND CARBON SEAL ARE GOOD I THINK OIL IS COMING FROM TURBO TAKE TURBO OFF IT START IT UP I BET NO SMOKE .I RACED KAWASAKI TURBO FOR 40 YEARS I JUST SOLD A 07 ZX14 LAST YEAR I WIDSHED ID NEVER OF SOLDD IT I MISS MY 14 GOOD LUCK
Dood. Bam! I thought I was the only one wirh issues when I comes to ordering parts, lolol. I can only imagine how many cuss,words and " you stupid son of a beeeech lol. The bike sounds grear in the last end PART , where are u from. I know if we look hard enough someone on CZcams comunity can point u in a,respectable dyno guy. I'm in the pacific north west, we have a,guy out here whos AWESOME. .
i like wossner pistons from there description anyways gas porting for top ring great idea and teflon skirts another great idea and forged all good as long as the ring lands dont collapse when ya rattle it a lil bit we good should be able to take the rattle long enough to were your brain hears it and feel power loss then big lite turns on shut it down my skull a lil thickk sometimes it takes a minute to sink in its detonateing dummy shut it down piston should bre good still mtc pistons forget it junk wiesco good arias no good had a wrist pin land crack they said i put in c clip wrong ..... bullshit i know to put c clip in with opening at 12 noon or 6 o clock at 9 n and 3 c clip will close up and fall out know this done that wount do that again but i didnt do that and arias would not honorr there work fuck em wount buy no more fer sure
@ 11:00 the plugs shown are CR9E they should be CR9EIA-9 Iridium @ 7:48 Oil line TOO short not to short, piston rings TOO tight not to tight. @ 9:47 Way too lean not to lean.
I have built engines in the past, I bored out the crankcases of my ZX10 tomcat, fitted ZX11 block bored to 1109cc @ 12:1 compression. I bored my GPZ900R to 972cc. You couldn't build up your hopes.
Hugh Jaanus Been there done that kid stuff,when you can convert KZ1300 from shaft drive into chain and sprockets then I could respect you're mechanical wisdom.
Let me help you with your English:- From shaft drive to chain and sprockets not into chain and sprockets. Then I could respect your mechanical wisdom not you're mechanical wisdom. DUUH. Who the fuck wants an over weight underpowered KZ1300? I'll stick with my S1000RR. PS I hope you did the sump modification for the dinosaur.
Man you went through a lot of unnecessary stuff TRYINtG TO PROVE you can fix it yourself. I'm sure you spent some $$$ that you couldn't saved just by going to the right professional folks and having it DONE RIGHT oppose to your Sink or Swim style of working on things that you are not sure about. I'm just saying man. I hate to see a man go through unnecessary bs when they do not have to. All you had to do was be patient and make some more $$ or get the basics done and then fine tune it later on after the main thing; turbo was added and bike Dynoed!
Got 2 2008 ZX14 myself. One with 87,000 tuned and straight headers. Other one is 10,000 and I’m ordering a stage 2 kit from Richard as well along with pistons, rods, valves and springs.. etc. Keeping stock swingarm ( wish me luck ). Great build.

Thanks for the vid, I'm currently shopping around for zx14 turbo kits and hope to be scaring the crap out myself real soon...
Make sure to scare passengers as well.
Way to not give up. You ran into some serious adversity but it is a very cool build! 👍
lol thank you man you save my ass because my engine is making a sound the i think he coming from the cam chain bot i want to check out the rod bearing to see if the sound coming from there i have a 2010 kawasaki zx14r i love this beast and nice build.
Nice video man
awesome video
Going thru the same with my turbo zx12 build
That took some doing 👍🏼
The problem with stubby exhausts is you’ll get false air/fuel readings. Especially at idle.
Man you tore it down so many times. I bet it's probably easy for you after so many times.
Don't think that I would've let a guy with a Dyno in a trailer tune my bike anyway?!
Where did you get the gauge overlays I can’t find them anywhere
So your saying when the crankcase gets psioil gets everywhere? Is there an independent oil system for the turbo? Nice bike man
Hey what kind of water injection did you use? Building the same turbo bike too. Also the afr/ guages are needed too. Any model numbers are cool. Ie. Snows Performance. Thanks
Did you just use the auto tune for the whole map? Or did you make custom adjustments?
Biggest LIKE man .. enjoyed the montage and gotta admit ur dedication in this massive project .. always remember: if it ain't hassle U; U ain't earn it 🤘
Learn Better English!
you should put a after oiler in it especially since you like to pull in clutch after a hard pull cuts oil off to turbo never pull in clutch and idle down quick after a hard pull the after oiler works all mechanical pretty kool have a container that pumps oil into it before the turbo oil inlet have a check valve on the in side od oil line then run other line out the bottom side by side the container fills up with oil and container becomes ppressureized compressing the air on top inside container the pressureized air pushes oil into turbo even after engine is shut down the turbo never starves for oil
you probbably did damage to the bearing on your first turbo like that im thinking and the rcc guys were way kool fliping you another one lucky guy see your luck isnt all that bad really
Did u port with the valves in?
Great video good music right up my alley. Makes me think the high price of a used one isn't that bad.
hey dude can you explain to me about the water meth ... were u using e85 on this build.. were did you install the water meth model .. please im mid build atm

Do you still have this bike
why didn't you use the supersport head instead of a modified stock head?
Jackson Welch supersport head is high compression. I probably could have got away with it running low compression pistons but at first my plan was to use the stock pistons.
Dont think Guhls will tune your bike?
Ok I have a nitrous zx14 that I bought and its knocking louder than fireworks on my second day with it and notices you pulled the head and stuff without pulling the whole motor do you think I’ll be able to replace the rod bearing and main bearing without pulling the whole motor
isaac valentin you could do the rod bearings without pulling the motor but not the crank bearings.
BAM Video hey me again I have two phones but yea pulled my pan and it’s rod bearings so ordering that Tuesday but wanted to ask where did ou get the gauge overlays I’m trying to get some that says 210 instead of 180 cause I’m planning to turbo my bike even though it already has nitrous
if you could I'd hook up 2000 zx12 gauges. analog needles for speed an rpm but goes to 225 mph

Hugh Jaanus what's your problem? Can't just enjoy the video, am sure he can teach you a thing or two,about engine building.
I have built engines in the past, I bored out the crankcases of my ZX10 tomcat, fitted ZX11 block bored to 1109cc @ 12:1 compression. I bored my GPZ900R to 972cc.
You couldn't build up your hopes.
Hugh Jaanus Been there done that kid stuff,when you can convert KZ1300 from shaft drive into chain and sprockets then I could respect you're mechanical wisdom.
You're so full of shit not "your" DUUH
Let me help you with your English:-
From shaft drive to chain and sprockets not into chain and sprockets.
Then I could respect your mechanical wisdom not you're mechanical wisdom. DUUH.
Who the fuck wants an over weight underpowered KZ1300? I'll stick with my S1000RR.
PS I hope you did the sump modification for the dinosaur.
Sucks. Its not the bike that is bad ass and beautiful
Want to race? I have a stock '05 GMC Canyon that will likely decimate this thing!
Nice bike man!check out supercurt2002 my zx10 looked identical I would love to ride yours lol subscribe thanks ill return the favor
Kyle Krahenbuhl UUUU HHHUH
