Sorry chaps does anyone know?
-
I'll be honest, the bike has good tyres now, brakes fine, gsxrk8 shock progressive springs
But the engine is a flat wheezy gasping thing with no punch.
I love the them of this bike which is why I bought it. I'm just trying to find the shortest route to 150bhp.

Everyones a bleedin' comedian today Jake.
But if you mean a GSXR 1100, Yes it will fit, the external dimensions of all the oil cooled motors are the same, b12 and 1100 gsxr and power screen motors drop strainght in.. 600/750's are slightly differant but still fit...
with the correct rubbers any carbs will fit as well
Sorry I didn't realise how ambiguous it was until I read it myself..
I've got a mate whose got a mate whose got a rash, no sorry a late GSXR1100 motor, that I thought might make a better starting point for a high comp road engine. At least starting with decent power adding big bore and Cams and later head work.
Might make the project go with a bang.
Gonna go and see the lump

Which ones go straight in?
Carbs and rubbers further complications?

There's some well priced stuff appearing for sale again now, seen a few sub £2k il4 1000cc bike in the last few weeks. I love my oil boilers, I've got 2 that 150+bhp, and 2 130+bhp plus 2 Italian vtwins.
But if you want go fast with no hassle, a 2005> on zx10r (paid £2500 for mine 18months ago) Gsxr1000, R1. CBR1000rr can't be beat.
Didn't we have an engine swap? I mean later GSXR1100

I gotta be honest.... I am really missing my Superbike..... The holy sh&t thafs rapid factor is..... missing... What I do enjoy... The smell of fuel, and exhaust, raw mechanical visceral sensation reminds me of my GSs my Zs etc. From the 80s.....
I am stuck now.... Do I spent three grand in search of 150 bhp... Or just get another bike.

What if it does?
It'll be atmospheric side of the butterflies so effectively, in free air.
Only done by OEM's for emissions purposes.
Thats always in vaccum when the engines running?

Air has to move in and out of the crankcase unless you are using a dry sump system and then you vent the holding tank - no one way valves!
Doesn't that breather go into the intake?

That one had brand new J&E pistons, the engine in my teapot with the same output was a second hand wiesco set.
A bit snug, 1216 in a 750
Is thst breather filter all you used on the crankcase, no need for a one way valve?

When I first built the engine 12 years ago, I had 40 mm mikky roonies on it and it made 152 after setting up on a dyno, but they were a pain, tick over was never stable and they were always going out of balance!!
I fitted the standard carbs with Ramair filters And Holeshot racing carb kit from Dale Walker, they have been spot on ever since,
all I’ve done to the engine since are oil changes, clean carbs a couple of times, tappets and a new clutch..
Still pulls like a train and able to hold its own on track days
That is promising
Which big bore did you use?

Yes... as long as you fix the supenders as well
149.8RWHP
First thing I did matey. say what now!? shock, pregressive front spring and braced rear arm coming next. All before I start the engine...
Probably ride it and make a decision on upsidedowners and uprated calipers.
Mind if I ask how your CVs get on wjtb the filters and what filters they are?
CVs and airbox removal haven't gone so well for me lol

I am starting to put the bits together for my project. Exhaust, pistons, engineering, cams etc....
I am aiming for 150 at the wheel, Roger Upperton said the collection of bits I'm assembling should do the trick...
Fair old wallop of dosh to rely on my spannering skills, but I've rebuilt a good few jap fours over the years so I don't forsee an issue with that.
I'm just worried that... I'll always feel is lacking.. So used to Gixxers and late Fireblades, I love thr riding style and the feel of the bike is reminiscent of my old bikes I had when a younger man..
Had anyone built anything like this and been satisfied with the grunt?
-
I've got a replacement, for 85 quid from motorcycle parts warehouse
Let's hope it doesn't turn into a consumeable.
Comment - Suzuki Performance Parts.... Don't seem to want to sell me the one for one replacement, seemed very latent about telling me about it.. Mmmm.. Told me to call back another time to get the availability of the replacement part? Get the feeling he thinks my project is a time waster
-
The only thing that puts me off the CVs is the fact that on other projects CVs gave problems with POD filters.. Combined with the fact I dunno how much a modded standard airbox is good for?
-
My cooler is fekked... Its leaking from the bottom gallery.
Sprayed the whole thing down with break cleaner.... Completely blasted clean, the ran it up to temp at idle and sure enough those Lower fins in my pic started to fill.
Balls.
-
Yeah don't worry guys
Traditional long standing biker this end, no waxed moustaches or butchered 70s Beemers in my garage.
Just bought the Bandit for an engine build project, just nice to hang here to get the gen on the dos and don'ts and what breaks and what doesn't with these oil cooled engines

That exhaust will be quietly rotting away under that stuff, no matter what it's made of.
Well it won't cos its stainless.. But it's a shit thing and it's coming off.

Binned them as you don’t want oil coming out
By the way did you know someone’s wrapped carpet round your exhaust
No no..... That's tutakarmons mummified fingers reaching up the front of the engine.
Previous owner, never my choice on this bike tbh

Just thought a pic might help...
I can see that the oil has either been forced up the rad by air flow and the o ring in the junction has gone, or the rad has a crack in the low left corner.

I’ve had a couple that have cracked across from the bolt holes to the o ring groove….
Thanks guys..... Did you manage a repair on this or did you have to replace?

Exactly, I’ve got 2 150 rwhp motors on Standard 36mm mikky roonies
spend the money on cams head work and 1216 kit before flatside
Yeah that's what Roger said.

This is odd,
Low mileage bike... A nice one. Bought for my project. The oil cooler seems to leak lower left hand side.. I removed the rad cover typical chrome affair period accessory (I quite like it) and stone me if the rad isn't perfect. No bent fins no distortion... Its difficult to make out if the rad is leaking from the left junction and some has gone up a tiny bit does to air flow.... Or if the lines are leaking at the junction between steel and flexi.... Where most of the oil at least due to gravity had gathered...
Question is.... Do oil rads just spring leaks or are the lines known for going at the junctions?
I'm gonna degrease it and warm the engine tomorrow
-
I spoke to Roger Upperton about my plans and he said the standard carbs were easily good for 150bhp plus.

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
Crash into the back of Lorry cos of keeping one eye on the oil pressure light lol....I'll check it out.
B12 Mk1 and Mk2 barrels the same?
in Oil Cooled

Thanks mate.
I just bought a set of cylinders for my big bore kit. My originals are less than 20K perfect, would be a waste to bore them imho when a second hand set had for less that fifty quid.
What do you mean by pairs?
