Not if you're not declaring the goods when crossing

OP mentioned big end and mains ? And i'm guessing the OSS discount won't cover the import duties

Obviously Me being thick again. Looks like it'll have to be both, because the inlets have the rubber bead that slots into the carb groove, but for some reason not as deep as oil cooled inlets so the carbs probably won't be clamped on properly for boost Drawing board time >>>

Hi Mentioned in the oil cooled section. I have a GSX1400 engine I would like to convert to carbs and then turbo This will be the outlet for my technical findings and questions about this engine. - Ignition : I figured that if possible, fitting an ignition plate and rotor from a Bandit would be a good way to get rid of the big wiring system and complex ECU of the 1400, so i could just run the B12 ECU and trigger. GSX 1400 rotor : B12 rotor : So far that looks doable without too much trouble. The plate is the same. The actual timing needs to be looked at, because B12/GSX don't line up, but am I right in thinking that Turbo systems like a bit of retard anyways ? So i need to address that anyway. - Carburetors : Off the bat i'm thinking BST36 The 36 are cheap and common, would they seem ok for the application ? That said, the BST38 would fit on the GSX inlets perfectly (i tested with a spare 40 body i have lying around) The problem i'll be facing however is the carb spacing : It is officially 72-110-72 on the 14, which is a major ballache, since the oil cooled ones are 78-90-78. Also, the 14 inlet rubbers are a weird offset shape : The spacing matches oilcooled inlets, but obviously the hole doesn't line up. So not possible to mix and match inlets to fit an oil cooled rack. Would it be feasible to make the inlets out of alloy, and use silicone hose sections to join the stubs to the carbs ?

Xexpress.fr will be the cheapest i believe. It's a bit of a time consuming operation to order from them but they sell genuine suzuki parts and the pricing is very good Edit : just checked full crank and rod set : CMSNL : 240€ inc vat Xexpress : 187€ inc vat

No worries. Yep all good, although having a hard time getting to continue my projects

£52 inc. VAT at xexpress.fr For real OEM suzuki parts

Lol. Where are they getting that sort of price from ? £60 inc VAT from cmsnl.com

Oem isn't exactly expensive, and while you're there you might as well replace

14cm

That would mean running pretty big main jets in the carbs

These guys do it (or used to) : https://www.adsjante.fr/

Tell him he doesn't need a B12 wheel in the back. Keep it stock, use it till insurance for a real motorcycle becomes reasonable for him.

Can't it run like that ? It's missing two opposing teeth but should be held constantly enough by the rest ?

On a quarter ton bike with shoddy frame ancillaries, it's probably not worth it

Cool thanks for that info. Not entirely off topic i'd say To add to the turbo setup Q/A, do the Busa pistons being "lower" create any squish issues ?

Interesting. Do you know the measures between oil cooled pin height and busa ?

What feature of the Busa pistons lowers the CR over R pistons ? Not that it's down to pistons alone but isn't the Busa CR higher than the GSXR 1100 ?

GSXF, GSXR K/L or M/N ?

I had the standard factory "duplex" type header on my '97 F like so : Never seen one like in your picture though, but i didn't delve into teapottery that much, i just ran it for a year and sold on

"Murray’s Carburetor Kits come Pre-Jetted, Synced and ready to Plug and Play" Of course they don't

Oh yeah sorry. Dunno why i got mixed up. But yeah if you have the lock, I have a mate who is restoring an L back to original and it's got hacked around a bit by a stevie wonder mechanic

I got a replica one from AliExpress thats got the correct fittings etc. Probably same provenance for anything on sale on eBail, so might as well cut out the middleman
