Boost sensor

[Venturous Randy]

Tried to do a search, but did not do good. But, I know the TCI is different from an 83 and everything else, but how about the boost sensor? If I put an 88 TCI on my 83 will I have to get a different boost sensor? I know I will have to hook it up to the intake port below the throttle plate.

Randy....

 

same boost sensor was used from 83-93.

Thanks, I thought so, but with the 84 up working significantly different as far as vacuum, I wasn't sure.

Just got the MKII TCI in the mail that I won off ebay for $10.50. I swapped the vacuum hoses around and plugged up the TCI and the bike started right up and sounds great. I can not take it for a ride as it is pouring the rain.

The same 'boost sensor' PN. 22N-82380-10-00 is used on all First Gen Ventures, all First Gen V-Max AND 1989-1993 FJ1200.

Just FYI.

I am still playing around with why the 30,000 engine that I just put in does not have the rush of power from about 5,000 RPM's up compared to the 167,000 mile engine did. The bike runs good, just not as strong under wide open throttle. I may check the boost sensor anyway. I have a couple of spares somewhere.

Ummm, difference between the 83 1200cc with better valving, springs, etc. versus the de-tuned 1300cc that started in 86???

 

Gotta remember, those first 83's that came out were as powerful as the first VMaxxes in 85......

The 30,000 engine I just put in is also an 83 engine. It just has the 2nd gen trans. I am using the same carbs, but I used the igniters that were in the 30,000 engine. I know I will feel a big difference with the gearing, but I am using a V-max final drive on both and 1st gear is about identical. The old engine just came on so much stronger that it is like it had V-Max cams too. I got the bike almost 19 years ago with 23,000 miles on it. I don't know the history of the bike before I got it, but it did have a lot of add ons that were not stock.

Have you thought about checking the valve timing in case someone was into the engine

before you got it...yes its low mileage but no history is no history.
