The new “drop-in” R&D C5 Monster Compressor Wheel and Exducer Seal Plate Kit installs directly into the OEM supercharger without any modification. The new C5 delivers “horsepower you can feel” with instant throttle response, aggressively improved low and mid range acceleration, and intensified top end performance. The new C5 features a light weight, high flow, 8 blade design with 8 supporting splitter veins and an increased exducer diameter over stock. R&D’s large exducer diameter and aggressive blade design is the key to improving CFM airflow volume throughout the RPM range. The oversized exducer diameter increases the size of the supercharger by enhancing air pumping volume and efficiency. The C5 out performs any OEM sized compressor wheel in its boost pressure classification. After all, its airflow volume gains that increase horsepower. The R&D Monster Wheel Kit produces 4.5-5 pound per minute airflow gain with a solid 15-16 pounds of boost pressure @ 8400-8500 rpm, 17+ @ 8700-8850 rpm. The new drop-in R&D C5 also offers superior off throttle surge reduction over other 15-16 pound boost wheels. The new R&D C5 series compressor wheels offer the highest levels of airflow and horsepower gains available for the 1.8L Yamaha engine in the 15-17 pound boost range. A properly tuned C5 set up (with supporting modifications) can produce well over 325 horsepower. In addition, no other rotating group on the market is lighter or more powerful than the new C5 Monster Wheel combined with the R&D Billet Supercharger Shaft. In sum, the R&D C5 Monster Wheel and Shaft weighs less, has less surge, rockets to 80 in less seconds, and carves through corners in less time than any other wheel and shaft in its class. Hit the throttle, hang on and discover the astounding sensation that’s called Power. It is already available from R&D at the retail price of $619,95.

UPW is putting on the Triple Crown of Watercross on August 14 to 15 at Lake Hartwell Georgia. All of the stops are being pulled for what should be one of the best events in the USA this year (and in years to come). As a starting move, artist Taylor Dubeau has created an conceptual painting of the event which has been translated into a promotional poster for the event. This is one of the coolest things we have seen in a long time.

R&D now offers ECU Reprogramming Services for all 2005-2009 Yamaha GP 1300R models with electronic fuel injected engines. R&D Reprogrammed ECU’s are guaranteed to deliver “horsepower you can feel” with instant throttle response, improved mid range acceleration, and increased top end performance via improved ignition timing and raised rev limiter settings. R&D has completely overhauled the ignition and fuel tables in the O.E.M. ECU to aggressively clean up rich fuel zones and strategically added advanced ignition timing in the low and mid range areas which will add the power we have all been looking for out of the GP 1300R engine platform for years. R&D has improved the idle and low end throttle response significantly, increased mid range performance, and added a solid two miles per hour with increased rpm performance on a box stock G1300R. Rev limiter function is “race inspired” allowing stable speeds and greater control in rough water conditions. R&D offers several levels of Re-programming which are designated for specific performance situations from box stock to all levels of high performance bolt on performance modifications. R&D offers 3 versions of programs labeled R1, R2, and R3T. R1 will work great in box stock GP1300Rs running 91 octane pump gasoline and work well with R&D Performer and Stage 1 Kits with mild compression upgrades. R2 has higher ignition timing advancement to work well in higher performing applications with higher compression ratio upgrades running 98 or 100 octane fuels such as 100LL Aviation fuel. R3T will offer specifically tuned ignition maps for “Factory Pipe Triple Pipes”. Have ideas of your own? No Problem. Simply call the pros at R&D and have a custom ignition timing profile set up for your application. R&D suggests the use of the R&D Powershot fuel tuner to custom tune the A.F.R. with R2 and R3T Programs. NOTE: Recent testing with a 80 hour GP1300R revealed a top speed of 63.5-64 at 7020 RPM. Features: Improved throttle response, increased overall horsepower, Increased RPM’s ( 200 over stock @ 7250-7300 rpm)(7400 plus S1), Increased Top End Performance(2-3 MPH speed gain), Improved cruise performance in the 4000 to 6500 RPM area, No more over rich or loading up in no wake zones, Performance rev limiter works smooth in rough chop 91 octane pump gas friendly with R1 program, Raised rev limiters, (R1=7750)(R2=8200)(R3=8750), Inexpensive horsepower.

Whether you believe it or not this is the most modern issue of a Lifeguard. Forget the blonde good looking figure of Pamela Anderson at Baywatch and welcome Emily. The later is mainly a lifeguard floatation device with a built in hull and a marine engine which is a miniature of a Jet Ski motor. It is being used through a remote control and it can reach the person who is in trouble on the water very quickly and safely. The person can hold himself on it and the instructor will manually drive it back to the shore with the person. The company has also invented additional electronic devices that will be fit on the robotic lifeguard in order to be able to detect and spot quickly swimmers that are in trouble. This new idea and will hopefully be approved by the Coast Guard Authorities.

These are the billet aluminum cylinder heads that are made by Crazy House in Japan for the Yamaha SuperJet engine. Noting from the size they are referred to big bore cylinder blocks that are also equipped with pneumatic power valves. The company also produces the power valve base out of billet aluminum. Both items are anodised to resist corrosion attack.
