  1. 1216 kit uses the standard blocks liners . I think the bandit 12 had 1mm thicker liners so you would have to gain that clearance in the crankcase but not 100% sure . I have a bandit 12 block on the shelf that i can measure if some one else can check the gsxr block . I asume its a 1127 motor ?

  2. I removed the fuel sender and used that plate to fit a return pipe . Pipe wants to be a bigger bore than the feed and end above the fuel level as not to cause any restriction . Any restriction in the return will cause a rise in fuel pressure and flood the carbs .

     

  3. my gsxr 1000 k4 has a digital readout for coolant , if you start it and then put your lid and gloves on it will be getting up to 50 c ish and about half a mile up the road its up to 80 where the stat opens and will run between 85-95 depending on traffic . Fan cuts in at 105 c . Think your gsxr should be roughly same for stat opening and running temps .

  4. contacted Mr upperton today relining the block is ok but he cant get any low comp pistons in 85 mm , I cant believe I'm the first person to turbo a big block gsxr motor ?

    Roger Upperton is my usual font of knowledge, if he cant do it he will know who can and I find him fairly priced and his work is excellent.

    yeah I was going to phone him tomorrow about porting a cylinder head I have spare for this engine . Bit concerned that the block going to get damaged by post man pat as these blocks don't come up often

  6. ok as title , itching to do a new project this year , the turboed 1216 lump is coming out of the gia framed bandit to be replaced by a 1371 , so I've got a low mileage engine that I cant see the point of selling on as I'm not going to get back much of what it owes me ( had new gearbox and every bearing replaced1400 miles ago) so thinking of building something using this . Idea I have is standard clean 750 with maybe some dymag wheels and a race exhaust . Motor will go back to high comp je pistons and Yoshi cams and Yoshi flatsides . Debating on the model , I don't like the look of the slab sides , I quite like the idea of a j/k model with the right way up forks but am I going to run into clearance issues with the taller motor and carbs ?

  7. Ok I'm now starting to build up a new engine and have a APE big block running 86mm ( 1371) cases have been opened up to except the block . My question is do I block up the oil feed for the head in the cases ( next to the 2 outside rear studs ) and run external oil line or leave as original . The APE block has the oil way machined in the block . Don't wont oil leaks from the base gasket .
