    Bandit 1200 oil pump

    in Oil Cooled

    Posted

    Question for the knowledgeable. Mk1 1200 pump has oil relief valve on the body mk2 does not.

    Could a mk 2 pump be used on mk1?Physical dimensions are the same and basically the same engine.Weird why it would be changed.

    Crankcase vent.

    I've got an ex Mistral racing 1216cc side car motor in my slabbie.

    The cases have a huge amount of work to help pumping losses. The bottom if the liners have big cut outs to allow flow between cylinders and the webs have been de bured corners radiused. I've also added a big -10 breather to the clutch casing and opened up the cam cover breather.  They both go into a large catch tank/ seat support. which is vented to atmosphere via a big air filter.

    I've seen healthy gains on race car engines from a good breather set-up and one engine that  lost  25bhp,around 10% ,because of a partially blocked breather.

    Interesting info here dupersunc.Do you have any pics for reference?3 breathers on my turbo bandit but never thought about crankcase mods..food for thought for next build.....

    Float heights?

    I try and keep mine at 15mm, it doesnt like them any highter, floods a lot. I take carbs off and reset them every 500 miles or so, they do tend to get higher with use, and when the boost has been turned up.

    Good info there.Didnt realise float height would change so soon under boost. Found my set up to be way off original setting when I went in to check heights.

    99 Bandit 36 cv carbs.What float heights u guys using on turbo application?Took the bike out for a run last night and found to be running real rich low down in rev range.Checked heights today and found them to be low .Does 16mm sound about what they should be set at to compensate for fuel pressure from pump?Stock is 14mm iirc.Just wat to confirm thank you gents.

    What’s wrong with my bike?

    Hopefully carb clean fixes this for you.I presume that you checked valve clearances prior to carb balance?If you are going to the dyno I would make sure engine health is good ie good compression readings on all 4 cylinders,valve  clearances are good and new plugs all around.                                                                                                                                   Did this running problem happen after the bike had sat for a few months or did it get worse as you continued to ride the bike over a period of time?Or are these carbs new to the bike?

     

     

    Efi conversion on Bandit turbo

    in Forced Induction

    Posted

    Hi all .Looking for advice on conversion to efi.Thinking on going for microsquirt and 03 gsxr 750 throttle bodies.Basically looking for what parts to use and what needs to be done.I am in Canada so not many people do this here.I know it is not exactly a simple conversion so what are the the things to be aware of .Trigger wheels ,sensors ,throttle body spacing etc etc.I know a lot of you guys have done this already so just want to hear of everyones experiences in this type of conversion.Thanks in advance.

    Not sure why???

    Thanks for the input guys.Not totally decided on the direction yet.Done the bandit thing already 1216 turbo not much left of the original bike.Leaning towards gsxr 750l just because never owned a gsxr before and should be a fun project.
