    @joel : I do know what you do , I mean there isn't anyone here on xBhp who doesn't know what you do , but with respect to the technical details yeah you are spot on ... I am a complete noob , but I have been reading every post of every member who has got the mods done and I also read that somewhere on xBhp and was seeking clarification on the same ... Is it so wrong to seek a clarification ?

    So if I appear like an idiot to you then so be it ... but thank you for answering my question
    People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

      ^@nand15 - There is no reason to feel bad over this. I only explained what happens when a head work is done. Also, there is a difference between what OTHERS tell you and what is been discussed here. This FZ is built by me and I did the head myself. So when you say it causes vibes and someone said so, pls validate the same. Pls ride one of our kitted bikes to understand what a modified engine feels like.

        I fully appreciate you answering my question ( however dumb it may be ) , I know how many of these you are asked on a daily basis too . The reason i'm here is because I realize the difference that xBhp brings . I really don't remember where on xBhp I read else I would've quoted it .

        I'm asking these questions is because I would also like to go in for the kit and get a first hand experience myself .

              Hey, guys,

              While we're discussing about such a profound mod as installing a new filter, look at what some do here on their FZ-16: injection + turbo!
              (rear disc brake can be considered as a "standard mod" here!)

                is it difficult to access it since i presume you no longer use the stock air filter box... probably better for using it is storage space...
                let us know.

                Cheers
                I have all these plans lined up for the last 5 months! give me few more days,my ride should be back on the streets,will be as detail as possible.

                Well I did have some extra vibrations at HIGH RPMs with the stock engine+FFE but i guess that is bound to happen with a FFE.
                But with the other mods i dint find any loss in refinement or any increase in Vibes.

                Will keep you posted as i ride more.

                  That's looking seriously wicked. Kind of love it . Could you share some details or perhaps links.

                      Amateurish indeed, using baloon . Nevertheless quiet a project. Come on, a turbo in a 150cc, thats unbelievable . I had to use google translation to get some idea. Thanks for the link. Btw your link has small error. Here is the correct link. .
