The heaters were from car builder solutions. As for how well they work I don't know as the car only comes out in fine weather.
I had to put them in as its a legal requirement. Another more costly alternative is to use a heated screen.

Speaking of heated screens, I'm putting one in my Monte...any special circuit goes with these, or is it straight 12V switched power?

Never tried one but I would guess that its just 12v switched same as the rear ones.

I got a heated front screen in mine, You need to put a relay on it as it draws about 15-20 amps.

Look what I got today and a big thank you to monte busa for help with the postage.
Its a very rare KKK K27 turbo charger that is accidentally and ideally designed to power a hayabusa engine to 500bhp. It was originally fitted to the BMW 745I back in the eighty's and was a common upgrade on 911s.
It will very happily spool from 2000rpm.
Its took a lot of stress, money and broken bones to get one of these and its brand new.















Last pic for comparativeness its a Nokia 6680 (large phone)

The young lad sure looks a whole lot happier about the beastie than my daughter did when she posed before it began it's trip across the pond!

Yes he likes to get involved and ask lots of questions a definite budding mechanic. Screwdrivers and hammers often go missing in our house.

Surely that's gonna have huge lag on a 1300cc engine???

[supermotolee]

not if a 1300 can spool it from 2k is it variable vein? but yeah my mates got a t25 on a 1300 106 rallye and its spooling up about 3k and its about half the size lol

[koss]

Its a twin entry kkk it spools very quickly compared to the garret 35 or 40 it has been proven.
You need a turbo this big to produce 500bhp on a 1300cc high revving bike engine. Should not really compare bike engines to car engines as they flow totally different amounts of air.
Anyway please don't turn this into a debate on what size turbo s do what etc. I am just gathering bits to build/tune an engine to do a certain job. Its also a copy of an already proven build with a few mods.

damn, only just noticed this "upgrade" someones asking for trouble lol

Fair play though its one hell of a turbo. Was going to mention about it being a twin entry, and how bike engines flow differently to car engines.

I hope you dont sell it and take it to avon park/santa pod next year. LOVE IT.

He said Hayabusa, and this mini is the R1 so I having a wild guess that this is for the elusive Monte Carlo!!
