davecara Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Anyone know the CR off the top of their head? Thinking of a cheap way to an N/A 1216 using bits I’ve already got Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 You need to deck the block. Quote Link to comment
davecara Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 That’s too much work. I’ll find a used 1216 kit or pistons at least then. I’ve got a gsxr dot head and those RS38’s to use. Should be able to build something lively! Quote Link to comment

Thinking of a cheap way to an N/A 1216 using bits I’ve already got I did real world sums on the 1216 "busa pistons" one I built using a 1100 Head "28cc" So if you substitute the 28cc "1100" chamber and use 23cc dot chamber into a calculator e.g. here https://www.summitracing.com/newsandevents/calcsandtools/compression-calculator You get 9.55:1...............

Duckndive Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 For what its worth another Busa piston 1216 I have with a worked 1100M head made 129bhp on RS38s that were way out 1 Quote Link to comment

davecara Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Was that on busa rods too or just a low CR 1216 engine with headwork? Quote Link to comment

Just Busa pistons on GSXR rods ,,the head has some nice work done to it I'm not sure on cams "i think there stock" but I forgot to check when I had the cam cover off a couple years ago Quote Link to comment
spiderpig Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I've a ported, skimmed dot head with reground cams going on slabby bottom, busa pistons and rods for pussy liquor when that builds finished. Will try measure the head volume over the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment
