be my guest, that bird-carrying-a-bomb is a Prinny to be exact. They're pretty awesome, dood.

That's why this is stage II dutchy considering I have parts that are actually going to make a difference lol

Thus begins my dive into foolish horsepower gains chasing with my 2014 VFR. Currently I have a 8th gen with: Slip on (s) various lengths, ect. RapidBike Racing with MyTuningBike and BlueBike mods along with the return to stock chip for dyno day. 520 converted drivetrain with a -1T front sprocket and lightened/crossdrilled rear sprocket. Some fiddle faddle from my olde 6th gen: Pair removal plates, Modified airbox with shorter, wider R6 stacks epoxied in. Just took delivery and bored-ly hand polished the new 5th/6th/8th header from the boys/wade on the forums. I very nearly have all the terminal hardware to do the big swap and go to the full header/airbox/autotune/timing boosted machine that CandyRed uses to great envy on my part. Considering there's a pump literally 100yards from base/home that has E85 I'm going to try to make a go for broke tune with more duty cycle and a bunch more timing to see if it makes a big difference. So it should definately rock & roll. Lemme know if you know of some places in socal that offer (cheap) dyno pulls with little to no diagnostic needs considering the RBR handles pretty much everything anyway.

Do we know the size/pitch of the stock O2 sensor on the header? I'm gonna use the MyTuningBike wideband with the rapidbike on the new header and I haven't seen the plug around here anywhere

My boys from Tyga 🙂 I'm proud to see you guys back in the discussion. It's been 2 years since I've even owned a 6th gen but I have admired and wanted your work since probably 2014.

Hey wait, that was the white bike I saw in the minivan when I delivered the OEM muffler wasn't it? lol...

Meh.

it would be a cheaper road to fab a turbokit from a GSXR600 to the VFR. and it would be a monster for quick spooling afterwards.

Delicious! Looks like the mock up is gonna work with some fenagling. might have to get creative with some pig-iron to semi-permanently scoot the brake lines out of the way. Have you guys tried a service? AKA being able to get the oil filter out with most of the fairings on? It's a pita with the baby header 😬 If it's at all possible maybe you could push the shifter-side primary a wee lil closer to the block for a bit so you can easily get the filter inbetween the inner-fairing stay and the primary. it'd make service life a HELLUVA lot easier than stock.

Definately let me know b4 may guys. Mid-may it's more than likely I will be home (in ohio) on leave for a full month. I can make arrangements, but not if I can't plan ahead a little bit.

Dropped my deposit. I think you have my phone #. Let me know when my bike can help you guys out.

Looking good highside, it'd be nice to have my wideband for the rapidbike there too.

All fiddling and speculation and likelyhood aside, How's the SoCal header doing?

Case in point. This is the '14 VFR with a Delk header. Stock muffler. picks up great in the midrange, and then the complete shit merges and collector design causes it to LOSE high rpm horsepower to even the stock header and it's T junction merges, if that tells you anything. I'd have no issues recommending a delk header except: it causes the VFR to completely fall on it's face after 9 grand. it's why I roll my eyes at delk headers, it's why I'm actually very very angry about the BW/Ali/Lextek headers. they're so close to nailing every aspect that it would've been likely cheaper, to run the 36-38mm ID primary the whole way. and make more power. but they didn't. It comes out of the header with the same squashed down ID as the stock '14 VFR, which you see here get LEFT in the midrange by even 98 spec primaries. Because that's what delk is running here, 32mm ID vs 30-29mm for the vtec era. They left (lots of) horsepower on the table. for what, so you could use the stock exhaust gaskets? So they could save 10-20 dollars a header instead of doing a decent set of merges and slip joints? lmfao goddamn these companies.
