  1. Yessir, these ones are printed as such.
  2. It’s 100%possible. I’ve jammed gsxr1000 Tb’s into the stock 750L boots… but going forward I’m going to try CF reinforced nylon 3d printed intakes. I have some mocked up for a 600can-o-tuna that will fit gsxr600 tb’s. in the picture- rubber boot is far left. Gen1 printed manifold in the middle. And first trial boot is on the right. I’ve got all 4 printed up and modified the spacing for perfect alignment with my new TB’s There are lots of great ways to convert your bike to FI!
  3. yep, it sure is. A friend of mine built it, but couldn’t get the motor stuff sorted out. So with the help of the OSS crew and the infamous @Arttui was able to convert it to EFI with full spark control. She runs really good! Just need some dry salt flats to run it now
  4. After hours of searching ( I apparently suck at finding the info I want) I ended up finding your swap and took some notes. I’m going to probably just swap in a full B6 front end, and press out the steering stem as suggested by @davecara Gotta try to give this old GS front end a 150mph+rated front tire!
  5. Do you recall what you did to swap the b6 front end into the GS? I’ve got a few B6 front ends and I want to get this done on my ‘78gs1000
  6. @latheboy more details on your 750 turbo! what kinda mods have you done, and what model 750 did you use? Turbo info? Injection info?
  7. Thanks very much. None of it could have happened with out the resources I picked up from this site and a few selected individuals in particular
  8. @IhmeJanneFIN glad to see another 750 turbo project on the go! There aren’t as many out there as the other bigger bikes. I’ll be following ya on this one. I’ve done a 750 turbo myself, but I used a 750L as my mule. I don’t know much about the short stroke 750’s, but there seems to be a lot out on the road still! In Canada at least.. I’ll be starting my second turbo bike project shortly- my platform will be a GSXf600. Target HP will be around 200. After discovering all the similarities the 600’s have with the long stroke 750’s, I can’t wait to see how the end result will work out! I have several longstroke 750 motors , and recently picked up 2 mostly complete gsx600F’s. I just need a place to work on them now
  9. ‘90 750L EFI, Borgwarner snail 200hp even at the rear wheel @1bar. Extremely streetable- so much so that I’ve even built a seat for my son to come along for a ride ( it hides under the rear seat cowling). It’s also fast enough to push 180-190 at the bonneville salt flats on the intermediate course.
  10. This engine is slightly larger then stock, I think something like 1080 or 1090cc. I can’t remember exactly what bore is, probably 1mm over stock.
  11. Update: Had the head and cylinders inspected for flatness at a local machine shop- he took a tiny bit of material off the head to clean it up and otherwise said the cylinders were in great shape As for gaskets I went with an MLS OEM gasket- didn’t have a large enough opening for the o-ring groove for the cam chain tunnel, and had no o-rings to seal the studs up to the head. regardless, the install went smooth and guess what- not a drop of oil has passed by with hours of thrashing on the bike in its street tuning chassis. It’s now home back in the LSR chassis, ready to race when ever the boarders are open. Thanks fellas!
  12. @mikeydthank you, but Suzuki takes the credit for building a solid motor! The motor is totally stock aside from heavy duty custom turbo pistons from WEISCO. If i I have any kind of aerodynamic aid, it will most definitely put me into another class. For now I chose to race in the open class to keep my build simple. A fellow I was privileged to meet on the salt and fellow Canadian ( Tom Mellor, google ‘Tom Mellor triumph’) has a VERY impressive aerodynamic fairing that was home Built and had propelled him into the 200mph club several times with naturally aspirated motors.. one year he rode his bike in 2 classes, one with and one with out the fairing. That fairing gave him a 40-50 mph speed difference. I think typical gains might be in the 20mph range with proper aero. The engine he was using when I met him was in the 1000cc class, and made a whopping 110-115hp, and his shake down run came in at 192mph!!! One day I’ll take a chapter out of his book, and I’ll build a similar fairing.
  13. A reply I received from Dynoman when I emailed their tech support yesterday: ”Hello Jason, We have been building the GS1000 motors for the street and track since 1978 when they first came out and can truthfully tell you that they are one of the best motors that Suzuki ever made. That said there are a few guidelines that that you must follow with any engine for it to be reliable. We address a few below: Copper gaskets are very strong and dissipate heat quickly, but are not as good at controlling oil as other gaskets. They do need to be annealed to make them softer for a better seal, and there are many different sealers available that work with them as well. They are very good for drag bikes and other race applications, however they are not our first choice for the street. We can custom make an MLS gasket for you up to 76mm bore. The price would be $83 and take about 2 weeks production time. You also have other problems that need to be addressed as well. We never run 12:1 CR with stock cams, as they require more lift and duration to work properly. With the stock cams your motor will make excessive heat and not make good power in the higher RPM range. You will also have excessively high static compression that can damage your motor very quickly. Please tell us your bore size and pistons manufacturer, what you are running for carbs the exhaust that you are running, and the type of riding that you like to do and we will be happy to go over your options. We would not recommend that you run the motor until it is built correctly to avoid damage. Just let us know if you would like to order the MLS gasket and we will be happy to send you a PayPal invoice that you can pay with any major credit card. If you have other questions please feel free to email us and we will get back to you ASAP. Have a great weekend!” anyone want to chime in on these points? we ran the 1000 with stock cams, and to be honest we didn’t notice anything abnormal ? But we also weren’t monitoring cylinder head temp or engine temp much at all
