Title: Luftmeister turbo k100 rs
Post by: K_grendell on May 30, 2020, 04:46:52 PM
Well I’ve always lusted after a luftmeister bike before I even knew how much I’d love bricks and finally have one. It all started last winter while doing research for my sidecar turbo setup when I came across it for sale a few hours away from me. The owner didn’t know a lot about it or turbo setups and wanted to build a cafe bike but ran out of steam. He wanted too much for it and it was pretty rough so I passed on it. Fast forward a few months I sold a pristine k1100 to fund 1200rs sidecar build and regretted it. I really like the style and size of the older 2v’s and have been looking for the right 1200 to build and the pandemic hit so I held off. Thinking about a bigger turbo sidecar I reached out to the seller last week and he still had the bike with very little interest. We struck a deal for the rolling parts pile and it’s chasing me home now. I need to go throug al the documents and dig into the history but it’s got an early accel dfi injection system, inter cooled, supposedly 22% higher gear ratio and a works shock. This was supposedly one of the salt flat bikes but I have no confirmation of that and need to confirm or it’s just hear say. The paper work lists other items that may be missing now or hidden until I can open things up to confirm. I need to asses everything and see if it’s worth trying to get it going or use the parts to build a clean stock bike and make it oem+ With my ezs/California sidecar sitting in the corner waiting to be hung onto a tug... Now Pics for pleasure...

I am interested in the leading link front end on the K75. I currently have an 85 K100RS plugged into a Vetter Terraplane. Could you tell me where the front end was sourced and approx cost. Thanks Craig

Craig, I used the bike with a stock front end and a steering stabilizer for several months and it was a bear to turn and had some serious death wobble at specific speeds. I was able to buy the front end and an older elf subframe as a package off a Facebook market place for $600. Between adjusting the chair and adding that the bike is a dream to ride now. I’d highly suggest investing in a set. I’d try going to Claude first and if he doesn’t have anything contact wasp/unit in the Uk. I was about to order the forks from wasp when that deal popped up.

Very cool - DMC is the only k75/100 leading link I’ve found domestically- and dear at 2800$. I turbo charged a 911 as a younger man... the idea of spooling up K bike is intriguing- plenty overengineered to handle it.

Well I got some time to get it up on the bench tonight for a good look over....it’s a mongrel but if the accel ecu has an eprom and didn’t lose its tune or have a hardware issue it might run. I’ve got compression and spark, going to swap my k75 tank with a good pump onto it to see if it’ll fire. I gave it an oil change and checked the turbo over, it will need a rebuild as there’s lots of shaft play and it’s spewing oil. Luckily enough the electrics all worked and it cranked right over. Started to do my homework on it tonight and luckily I’m able to get ahold of some past owners. More to come soon and a few pics.

No doubt during your research you have located all the information and history of the Luft kits on the RB Racing site (who actually manufactured those).
Couple of things you may already be aware of:
- the solid air to air core in front of the engine radiator tended to promote overheating, which led to them changing that core into a split design with a broad opening in the middle to restore air flow into hot rad. Could be an issue with your tug.
- The low mount cartridge utilized a novel sump drainage fixture, as draining the oil from the turbo is of maximum importance and that location is far to low to leave it to gravity. There is a check valve assembly within the oil pan that utilizes the main oil pump to create suction towards the turbo drain, while also drawing up oil for general lube duties. Tricky situation to balance the two suctions developed, under all rpm and slope conditions. (akin to standing on a beach ball on top of a trampoline).
Just a heads up to be cautious on that one, or the oil consumption will be a real issue.
Good luck on the build.

Thanks Arktasian I’m well aware of those issues. I have several intercooler cores ready to be mocked up already. I spent a lot of time researching Rb racing when I started to build my k75 turbo setup which is getting close to done.

I suspect a big reason for the shafts to blow on some these old kits is a lack of a diverter valve and the compresser surge cooking the carden seals/shaft. Mine doesn’t have an in-line  check valve that I can find but I’m going to pull the pan to check for the t assembly.

Well I had a good amount of assessment last night...aka the system taken off and turbo sent out for a rebuild today. I’ve found a clean k100rs that this kit is going to go on when the turbo is back. Once I have everything buttoned up I’m gonna sell the black bike as a roller.

All of the crank oil seeped into the exhaust overnight so I had to empty a few quarts of oil out of the exhaust. There definitely is not a check valve. I am going to pull the pan to investigate. Has any one seen this setup? The few luft-bikes I’ve seen have the same drain line as me.

I was able to figure out a new tech flapper valve from a mini to help with off boost using the factory maf and trying to locate someone with a fifth injector kit so I can reverse engineer it.

I want to use stock fueling to keep things simple and with the old school tech theme. Atktasian have you had any experience with this? I know a Hobbs switch was used to open The extra  injector at 4psi but need to find what injector/cfm was used (I’m assuming it was a stock Bosch k100). I do need to figure out if it was wired in to pull the signal from the ecu so the duty cycle was controlled with throttle or if it was a simple on/off?

Also for any turbo guys following have you been able to source parts for the original boost guard wastegate? If not I’ll upgrade to a tial for ease or finding parts to tune.

Had a few minutes free tonight to pull the on and investigate. The scavenging system is slick and has a secondary pickup tube the sits down inside of the welded on return line bung. Hopefully the new turbo seals with this and the appropriate oil level will keep it from smoking.

I can answer towards several of your questions - I have researched the RB "K" bike components and control systems with several other owners. I haven't owned one, but managed to suss things out reasonably well. That is to say, going so analog with stock injection control and the add on 5th or extra injector, and no real tunable ecu control adds up to the same analogy I used previously, only more so. Ensuring you keep the proper fueling ratios under all the various engine loading states with the tack on stuff, extra widgets is akin to targeting sitting on the beach ball while it is in a swimming pool. Can be done but certainly not without gymnastics and challenges. I say this not to discourage you, but enlighten the better way of full ecu control of your bikes electronic systems (ignition which deserves better control under boost, and injection which seeks to melt your pistons when your enthralled with roll on). I have gone the affordable route of MicroSquirt, or there is Megasquirt for added options. There is a learning curve. Seems like you are very well devoted to your bikes and having a turbo - so that's my advice to do it right.
Now, if you gauge the oil level in the sump and compare to the center line of your turbo cartridge, you most likely will notice the cartridge is very close (if not slightly below level which was definitely the case on some of RB's systems) The one cardinal rule on turbos is proper feed, and drainage. The fact that yours doesn't have any check valves on the interior plumbing of the pan suggests you will continue to suffer from siphon back feeding against the cartridge seals, and the shut down heat will coke up things and rapid failure soon demands more of your cash as cartridge fails. As well, steep long downhill runs will add to the head of oil seeking to work against proper drainage. Smoke will be the least of problems.
I find RB doesn't reveal the early systems with the check valves any more, but I have a poor quality photo I can offer below:

* IMG_2962 (1).png (556.84 kB . 640x480 - viewed 795 times)
Those balance the main bell suction for engine lube, with a slightly prioritized suction on the turbo drain, as well provides anti drain back which what you photos shows will not do. Hence the exhaust full of engine sump oil.
I've dabbled with that check valve set up, but I suspect RB spent months testing different cracking pressures and relationships to get it right (at least this was how they described it). You can test this by disconnecting the drain hose and plugging. Then place a canister under the turbo and run to see how much oil is naturally draining. Don't run sump too low. Now unplug the hose to the pan and place into that same container and run again. The turbo will continue to naturally drain into that container, but the internal plumbing will attempt to "suck it up". The amount of oil being introduced must be less than the amount being sucked back to engine.  To be 100% confident, you must do this at idle, and at a relatively high rpm with hot oil to ensure it is good throughout.
I use instead a small bronze gear scavenging pump, and low crack pressure check valves on both oil inlet, and oil drainage side to ensure no drain back (no smoke on start up, mind you I've swapped my side kick stand to the right side to keep oil migration down the cylinders under control as well).
Way too long of an email, pretty technical topic and not many partakers, or those wishing to divulge they are dabbling in boost.
Title: Re: Luftmeister turbo k100 rs
Post by: Arktasian on June 04, 2020, 09:27:13 AM
Slight addition to the above - there is a 2nd check valve on the exterior cartridge drain hose that works with the internal plumbing and check. It ensures there is no drain back into cartridge, while offering I believe a slightly lower cracking/ opening setting than the internal check. This ensures the ratio of suction towards the cartridge while allowing the engine to get what it needs.
I suspect you may decide to stick with the RB fueling devices and not commission a standalone ecu control - if so, your best friend to ensure air fuel ratios are being maintained will be a wide band "O2" gauge system. There are several kits, Inovate product comes up as popular but their frequent need to recalibrate and potential to start ignoring the Bosch wide band sensor, error codes calling for new (& more $$). I would strongly recommend the "14Point7.com" products. No calibrations, working in concert with Bosch sensors that Inovate deemed failed, and quite affordable.
And, good luck on your project!
Lorne.
Title: Re: Luftmeister turbo k100 rs
Post by: K_grendell on June 27, 2020, 07:42:05 AM
Thanks for all your advice Arktisan. I’ve got an innovate wide sensor that data logs and cuts boost if it sees an a/r that is unhealthy for this and my k75 on the shelf.

I know they’re not but perfect but I still want to play with a 5th injector just for kicks and will use my innovate wide-band as a safety check for when things go to lean. Since these ECUs batch fire the injectors I am wondering if the injector driver can handle triggering a 5th injector. I’d use a 4psi Hobbs switch (same as the early rb kits) to kick the Injector in and allow the ecu to control impedance. If it worked this would modulate fuel somewhat relative to boost when it’s above the level of fueling a stock ecu can handle. Any thoughts?

I’m still waiting for the turbo to come back from the rebuild. I have been working on other projects and doing some research. I found high quality 1psi cracking pressure high flow check valves I’m going to use that are mil-spec I’ll be using on the feed and return lines. http://www.improvedracing.com/oil-accumulators/high-flow-psi-flapper-check-valve-p-555.html?utm_campaign=googleproductsearchusen&utm_medium=product_search&utm_source=googleproductsearchusen

Title: Re: Luftmeister turbo k100 rs
Post by: Arktasian on June 27, 2020, 06:05:07 PM
The "flap" style check valves you linked to appear high quality and I suspect you will be looking to apply those to your cartridge drain (and feed for that matter).
Presently, that resides below oil level of the sump. Be aware venturi suction was a part of RB's strategy and amongst their angst filled web stories it is described as a delicate balance. Regardless, your ultimate friend will the the drainage test I described earlier where you allow the turbo to drain into a container while that plumbing is blocked to engine, then unblock and submerge that plumbing below the oil level in the container and continue running to witness "more drainage of container than fill rate". Otherwise, if you just add even a low cracking 1psi valve to the drain without precise suction against it, the turbo has to pump the oil out by reason of the feed oil coming in = impending failure of seals. But you most likely know that and mention of this is academic, or needless.
I'm not real clear on what components you have or what vintage your bike and stock ECU, or the "accel dfi" system you mention - which depending on version may handle additional injector or perhaps more. Perhaps you can advise what you have, also what sensors. For instance, is yours equipped with the MAF in the large flapper housing? Has it been fitted with a TPS, or a MAP sensor? These all correlate to existing, or potential enhancements for control of fueling. If you don't have a tunable accel system going on and are using some form of stock Motronic ecu, then I believe a MAF sensor set up would be best. At least then the ecu will recognize the increased air flow to adjust fueling accordingly. I suspect the batch fire injectors are wired 4 power leads together through the injection relay, while the milliseconds of fuel delivery is varied by the ecu via a single driver - on the ground side again a four way split. As to whether that setup can handle the addition of a 5th similar injector (hi-z, high-ohm, saturated or low impedance low-z, low-ohm, peak and hold.)  is something I can't really answer.
Otherwise, going with I/O operation via a 4psi Hobbs is going to be initially pig rich until the higher boost state where leaning out will occur. Not what you want with a tug up continuous grades. The Inovate "boost control" you describe can help but will probably get blamed for poor performance as it dumps boost when leaning out occurs. I noted what looked like an inline "needle" valve on the left side descending towards injection rail - perhaps one of those famous Matt Capri "on the fly" adjustment trinkets attempting to control fuel pressure while racing. RB doesn't refrain from stating what they thought of his ideas.

Well I parted out the black rs and picked up a silver all original 89. I’m going through it now to get seals and all the usual rubber bits that fail replaced. Hope to have that done in the next week. Still waiting on my turbo to come back from the rebuilder. Once I get that back I should hopefully be able to start and run this at low boost (4psi) and have a baseline to start with.

Lots of work done and it’s alive. New rear main seal/o-ring, greased and cleaned/greased the swingarm bearings, splines, and new clutch rod seal. I was happy to find a brand new clutch inside of the trans too!

Arktisan I admit defeat and am not happy with the scavenging of the original rb setup. With a one way valve it’s scavenging and keeping oil in the sump but not pulling enough oil away from the turbo so I have a mocal pump on the way. Gonna give it fresh fluids in the gearbox, diff, and coolant this weekend and button up the charge pipe so I can hopefully get a ride in.

Looking good, for a pump I've used the "Mate" product, very small 12v with helical bronze gears made for long life & low draw. I have a check valve on that to keep oil drain back in control.

Now, once you're running should those add on fuel devices leave you less than satisfied, you might want to go full control.  :popcorm

I was looking at those but kept seeing various info about cycle time of being max at 30 mins. The one I picked up is gear driven but built specifically for 10,000 hours of use and continuos duty as a turbo scavenge pump. I didn’t want to chance a failure and have broken components end up in my oil. I also have a one way valve already.

I beg to differ with you on that one - but there is no 30minute max duty cycle. I bought the first one I have from RB Racing (the authors of your turbo kit) and they utilize it on some of their various projects - and that one has been in operation for about 8 years now. Granted, I'm not running 10,000 hours at a time, but nothing different than any other RT cruiser see's.
I bought a second one from Mate for another project, as RB has merely removed the decals and marked up the price over double  :nono2:.
I believe if you dead head one against a closed system it may overheat much like any gear pump without a relief valve, but the lapped helical gear set is the proper design and electric motor no worse for steady state running than a fuel pump would be.
There will be various models out there, don't overflow your drain or it may fail on you trying to pull a vacuum and cavitate the gear set.
PS - the problem now with ride video's is that anything bordering on debautchery may land you scrutiny of piece officers and some project fund draining fines. If you ride in a sedate "non boosted" manner, that's not going to gain too many votes.

Post by: K_grendell on August 19, 2020, 10:57:04 AM
Arktisan-I kept seeing a lot of pumps in identical design to what you showed me and they were Chinese’s copy’s of something with varying info. I didn’t want to chance it and didn’t know about your suppler (should have asked first!).

After the fact I am actually glad I got the larger pump for aesthetic and packaging purposes. I didn’t like how it looked mounted down below near the turbo and this one can scavenge up to three feet so I was able to mount it on top of the motor. I am waiting for a -8 bing to come in so I can weld a new return into the right side crank cover. This will also help save space for my sidecar subframe.

I need to get a phone mount on this bike for a test ride report. After sorting the scavenging it’s nice now that she doesn’t smoke and I can’t test ride and do some quick data logging. The wastegate spring seems to be an 6 or 8 version. It spike once to 5.6 labs on me and I back off the throttle as I didn’t like were the afr’s where headed.

After playing around with the old hks aic I wasn’t happy with it and am trying a split second aic-v that will pickup readings from my afr, map sensor, and allows for a wide range of tuning.  It’s very similar to the rsr/rbr racing setup. That’ll be in next week and I’m sourcing a set of secondary injectors from a ninja or cbr and will mod a second intake manifold I have to accept it.

My next computer setup will be to try a full standalone but I want to progress my way into it and trial and error my way through with an addition to the Bosch l-jet.

This project is still very much a work in progress so once I’m happy with everything I’ll make sure the loose ends are tidied up (which I know there’s a lot of).

Post by: Arktasian on August 20, 2020, 09:51:07 AM
She's looking good! Please post more info on this "aic-v" assuming a piggy back?
How's your clutch - stock? Those were about as likely to slip under enhanced power output as the R bikes, being basically the same design. There are work arounds if, you haven't already gotten in there but don't want to blow the budget in that direction.
Title: Re: Luftmeister turbo k100 rs
Post by: K_grendell on August 20, 2020, 10:33:08 AM
The aic-v is a very advance piggy back with tuneability similar to standalone and will accept wideband, map, and rpm input to trim fuel levels, and can be used with a potentiometer to trim levels on the fly and even has a second map you can turn on with a button for different parameters that are set.

https://splitsec.com/product/aic2-v-additional-injector-controller-pressure-mode

When I went in to do the rear main sea and inspect things I found. The clutch is all stock and was a brand spanking new unit. I’m hoping it will hold up to 120 whp. I saved the old clutch and flywheel from the salt flat bike. The clutch was really work but the pressure plate and flywheel will make for good spares..

What are your tips to make a stock clutch stronger?
Title: Re: Luftmeister turbo k100 rs
Post by: Arktasian on August 20, 2020, 12:56:06 PM
Interesting device - hope it jives well for you with the original controller.

The K springs were already thicker than R bikes, the below image shows the fulcrum edges on the inner plate. If those are machined for a slightly larger O.D. then you effectively increase leverage for higher clamping force, with modest reduction in release travel. That seems to be fine on most bikes. You just need to chuck it in your lathe to skim those knife edges outward. I increased radius about 1/16". See photo below:

* IMG_3050.JPG (90.27 kB . 640x480 - viewed 580 times)
That helps keeping her from breaking free on sudden load changes, if you want more you can install an upgraded disc. The one below is from Oleg Clutch.net in CA and has a massively strong hub and plate, while utilizing a friendly blend of ceramic/ feramic to wear well but not become grabby. The obscure patterns on that 3 paddle were from an arcing procedure.

* photo.JPG (93.71 kB . 640x480 - viewed 584 times)
I find that these inner and outer plates want to warp, by reason of the support method and design. Most people find a little dishing and replace everything. I experimented with the above changes, and then carefully arcing a 4 paddle disc to match the dishing or warp. That clutch will not slip, even though the plates were quite high mileage and other wise discards.
Just another method.

Almost done with the respray, rebuilt the forks, calipers, front m/c, swapped over to c bars and a c style fairing.

Its hard to see from your photos, but the braid hose connecting to the turbo drain elbow doesn't appear to have a check valve at that location. You know you need it right down at the turbo - as anything above will allow slow bleed down into the cartridge and then you're right back to start up smoke show again. Could be you haven't added it, or doesn't show up in photos?

Post by: K_grendell on February 15, 2021, 03:19:33 PM
I’ve got one that will be going in as a safety. I was experimenting with my scavenge pump location before adding in those fittings and valve. When I turn the bike off I let the pump run for 20 seconds to pull the oil out and didn’t have any issues while I was testing before the weather went bad on me.

Hmm, read a bit about RB Racing and they really know what they are talking about regarding turbo K bikes. It's quite a tantalizing thought that you can even in practice still go to buy a new turbo kit for a 80's K100... And that the engines are seriously overbuilt from the factory with forged pistons etc. etc.

Excellent project you are having here!

It's only a thought. According to their current Products page, they are only making turbo kits for Harleys now, and after reading their Eat Shit page, I could understand prospective clients' reluctance to interrupt their flow.  :laughing4-giggles:

Yeah...rb stopped making kits years ago and no longer services them or has any desire to do so, but finding a bike with one and getting it going or building a custom setup honestly isn’t too hard with today’s technology. I was able to re-engineer a lot of what they did from research to get this one going as it was missing some bits.

On a better note it finally stopped snowing in New England so I could get back to work on my paint instead of plowing. I can wait to finish wet sanding and clean the garage.
