KZ/GPZ mono shock hack was Budget Turbo Build

its coming along, just make sure that welder is penetrating good and you spot it in before running a bead so it dont warp. thanks for taking lots of pics

Im no machinist either,just a plumber with a welder and a tape measure and a die grinder! :laugh:

Well I had to grind off the tacks and remove everything I had on! I should have done a better job of triangulating the top mount,swingarm pivot and bottom mount. First the shock was hitting the front of the arm so I thought I could move the top mount to the rear a bit. Then I run into trouble when the shock was short end of travel. Got it worked out I think. Going to take it all back together tomorrow.

I scored some GPZ 1100 adjusters so I can use my stock axle Stock axle is to short for this arm Back to ebay for an 1100 axle I guess.

Perhaps you aren't building enough pressure. If your not getting boost your not even opening the wastgate. I thought those mitsu t25s used high boost stock. Are you building vacuum even?

I had did have vacuum. I sold all the stuff and am going back to carbs. I need to change the title of this build thread but am unsure how to do it.

Try going to your/the first post in this thread, go to edit then change the subject title. That should work here no trouble

I have been trying to figure out the shock/swingarm clearance. I tried bolting it up leaving the top mount off but then the shock moves up and down. Looked like it would work but was not sure. I then came up with this . Made everything clear in my head. The bottle is a tad larger than the shock, got the bottom mount where I thought it shoud be and did same with top. Moved arm through it's range. Hopefully I have it now.

cant nwai to see it come together

Slowly but surely Ram, thanks. I went out tonight to weld it all in as I think I finally have it ready t go. Going to do a few tacks and check it again. Anyway I get out in the shop and it seems a bit cool. The furnace had quit on me. It is zero and going down so I had to work on it. Hopefully a new transformer will get it going again. I have my fishhouse heater going ow so hopefully will keep it above freezing.

Do you have 24v coming from transformer,line voltage to transformer?

I pulled the transformer to double check. Hooked 110 to line and it showed no output.

If you were close to Nebraska ive got a few laying in the garage depending on what style it is
