There was plenty of hype surrounding the debut of the ZX-14 in the spring of ’06. We seen the promise of potential big performance numbers from these new model bikes over the years and rarely do they live up to this hype. But the “14” has turned out to be quite impressive, especially in the hands of the after market. In stock form the ZX-14 didn’t post great numbers on the dyno, but with a good pipe, a power commander, and some re-mapping, those numbers jumped up to rear wheel horse power never seen on a stock bike. Many key pipe manufactures and high performance shops around the country claimed anything from 170hp to as much as 195. But in the words of Mr. Turbo boss Terry Kizer, “I don’t care what it makes stock, as far as I’m concerned it’s broke. We fix it with boost!” And fix it they did. With the first ZX-14 system on the dyno, unbelievable numbers came up on the first runs. At first Mr. Turbo employees suspected false numbers from a possibly faulty boost gauge. The power numbers at these low boost levels were quite surprising. At 3lbs of boost, 230hp, at 5lbs of boost 270hp and 151lbs of torque! Insane! It’s no fluke though, for the same reason the bike makes great power in normally aspirated form, it makes killer power at very low boost levels because it has very high static compression, over 12.5 to 1. This ordinarily is very high for a turbo engine, but for low boost and pump gas it works quite well, the powerful stock motored street bike ever.
Since these first dyno runs Mr. Turbo has spent considerable time developing a truckload of parts and accessories for the ZX-14 engine and chassis. With the correct application of engine and chassis components the ZX-14 can be molded to whatever performance level you can dream up. Keep an eye on Mr.Turbo.com for these special parts and components as they become available or call Mr. Turbo today for your ZX-14 needs.
