GS110X or EF Engine?

[TrunKz]

Hi,

 

Unfortunately my "EF" had a GS110X engine when I bought it.

Is it worth it to change the engine? Or is the GS100X also a good engine with a lot of potential?

f*** wrong forum... is it possible to switch it in the Aircooled Forum?

sorry

[Blubber]

I have had a gsx1100et, a gsx1100esd and gsx1100ef.

All 3 of them put a smile on my face.

That said... I have the best memories of my 1135 with rs36. Could just manage 160km of range due to the fun factor. 

 

But...

 

It al depends on your goals. Commuting,  street, street/race or pure race. .. Turbo, Nos.. Etc... Most go faster goodies can still be had for both the 1100 or 1135.

 

Gszone.biz has a nice collection to swiftly max out your credit cards

First and foremost I would like to drive on street and also be a bit more sporty on the way.

 

160km are great

The EF engine has installed in Germany other camshafts and thus an output of only 100HP.

Was that the same for the ET engine or does it only have 100HP in general?

[wraith]

The EF motor dose put more bhp out (in the uk) than the ET motor as standard, but I think over where you are they where all restricted to 100bhp (I may be wrong) 

In the old days  people just put the EF head on the ET bottom end as the EF heads flowed better than the ET ones.

Don't know if any of that helps 

[TrunKz]

hahah no luckily not. My GSXR had about 180hp

Thanks for your help. So should the head be enough?
Alternator and gearbox is the same?

What do you mean ef or et? My stamp just says gs110x then some numbers.

The 'E' is model designation, letter after shows year. Body and engines changed depending on the year. T is 1980, X is 1981. F is 1984 on model with next letter showing year. GSX 110 is 1075 cc, 1135 had number starting with 'V'.

That looks like an ef bottom end with gsx head. Does it have 1075 or 1135 stamped on the front of the block on the flywheel side?

didn't the EF have rubber front engine mounts, like the oilcooled engines?

Yes but there in the engine. mount plates not the cases like an oil boiler

As the man said, EF bottom end and I suspect from that angle what looks like a 1135 block, as the ET block has slightly more rounded corners. Cylinder head is ET/EX.

To answer your question I wouldn't be disappointed with any of the air cooled 1100 lumps.
