Hair Dryers vs Overbore kits.

[Maj750t]

Saw an interesting post once where someone was using electric handwarmers as a bottle heater. <i></i>

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I will look into the EBAY options, but still "tyre-kicking", tough I may suprise myself...

Simmo, do you really know how to do all this stuff?
Do you want my bike in pieces in your garage to try and have a go at this, or do you just want my bike in pieces?

Figure on what budget you have is a good starting point, then estimate horsepower, -- go from there. Its a starting point

Its not easy and before long you have spent so much money and could well be riding an unreliable street bike that could well be a pain in the Ars***** <i></i>

Pan, I think if you are looking at the NOS you are probably better off buying a complete dry kit, these are good for an extra 60 or so horsies.
In comparison to turbo's and big bore they are the cheap alternative.
There are quite a few dry kits on the market and are not too pricey. If you are serious about this route give me a call and I will put you in touch with some one who can help you out.

Graham I have a mate in the USA who has just built this stroked busa it now displaces 1553cc, uses 1 battery to start, runs on pump fuel, and is riden daily.
It does not have an over size bore.
It also runs low 8 second passes, but he says he will be running high 7's soon.

Hopefully this dyno sheet will post up

As I said this is a stroked motor, there is no turbo or NOS, as you can see by the dyno chart.
There is also room to put Ray's big bore block on the fucker, it will push it out to a 1860cc or more, and produce over 330rwhp, (I have a copy of a dyno sheet here some where I will try to post it for you).
With this you will need 2 batteries for starting it, but the second 1 is mounted in behind the headlight and is out of the way.

If you were to build this motor yourself, as you are Graham, I could probably get the crank, spacer plate and rods landed in Sydney for under $3000 Aussie.
I could probably get it even cheaper with an exchange crank.
Which is comparable in price to a small turbo kit, like you are installing.

All said I am still going to install a turbo on mine, but I will be pushing for closer to 400rwhp so it is better for me in the long run dollar wise.

Each to there own hey?

Hi Dave,

In the future I would look at putting in an overstroked crank because that would give me more bottom end torque with the extra stroke. Will keep that price in mind.

I am already on the turbo path so will definately be seeing that through to the end, and will not do anything to the motor for at least 6 monhs after I am turbocharged unless I am forced to by circumstances.

How big is that crank that you can get. Is it one of those

8mil jobs or is it a ground down OEM. I got a price on new 6mil

OEM no rods or plate's for $900 U S just not sure how much

shipping from the states will be on a crank.

Any ideas <i></i>

[gazza414]

Richard , a +6mm crank for $900USD is a 2nd hand crank that has been welded up .
Any new billet crank ( Suzuki dont make these ) from +3mm to 10.5mm will set you back in the vicinity of $2800USD and thats only the beginning. Only 2 companies in the world make new billet cranks for the Busa, whilst many do weld ups. <i></i>

This discussion has been a mine of information that has got heaps of hits and a lot of knowlege being shared. People are also starting to look at what they can do with their bikes be it boost, all motor, or hitting it with NOS.

Thank you to all people who have contributed thus far. It has been much appreciated by me.

Dave you might want to check with your mate as to what his setup is? Maybe porkies if you do the numbers, and becomes physically impossible..... Sorry everything is possible..... just good planning and alot of money can work.
Its prob a 1397 motor plus 7mm on the crank. Either with short rods and spacer OR justa 3.5mm spacer which is a bitch then to get the motor in the frame without surgery.
