Ran a 10.109 @ 140.14 on the Bandit at the weekend, 6.5 sec to 115.


This might be faster.

Then again you won't be riding it 130 miles to the track and back.

lol.

the bike should run for about 2 minutes before it runs out of fuel and the battery goes flat.


how did you find the hookup off the line?

Hookup was good, no spin in first, then again I wasn't really hard launching it. It should be a 9 second bike and there is one in there I just need to van it up incase anything goes wrong rather than riding it.

I should probably add, that is the fireblade's fastest run of the day.

The gearing is also out, need a longer first gear and aim to go through the traps in the top of 3rd.

nothing to report.

owning a car with 6 camshafts and an intermittent, unrepeatable misfire is keeping me occupied for now.

made some phone calls to sort some shiny bits of forged aluminium from america.


also had a 27kg block of aluminium delivered.

i'm not overly happy with the first billet block i made, so i'll do another one over christmas. will probably finish the first one and bang it on ebay.

first job will be to bore the mouths to take the larger liners. then remove all the casting flashes from inside and open up the galleries between the cylinders for better balance breathing.

then remove the oil blanking plug from the lhs main gallery and tap to provide an oil feed from the bottom end to the head for that side.

im predicting that opening up the mouths will cut through the oil galleries on both sides so i'll tap and grub screw them so its totally dry blocked.

[stevo as b4]

Chris, sorry for the noob question, but are you going to run external oil feed lines from the main gallery to the head? And if so will the drain down channels be back through the block into the sump?

I'm not very clued up on the oil cooled Suzuki engine architecture.

Still more Liner seating area in the cases than a damp block Rover K-series though!

Is your new block a wet or dry liner set up BTW?
Oh and while I'm firing questions, do you think a big capacity turbo build like this could used plated or ceramic coated bores safely, or would it not take the cylinder pressures?

[chickenstrip]

Just had to give your last work in progress post here a I can't remember if I've done that for other posts in this thread, but it deserves more than one, for all the work that's gone into it.
