mello dude Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Just a bunch of other "world" stuff going on and this project has taken a back seat. Sorry to keep folks hanging, but life does tend to interrupt our best plans. Sooo true.... Quote

RVFR Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Dito, gota say something here to keep track of a interesting thread. On a side note, Yep, still working with the ins-outs of the header. I have more to dos, I ain't done. 1 Quote
Member Contributer sa1713 Posted July 9, 2017 Author Member Contributer Posted July 9, 2017 WSS and all, sorry for the delay of delays. The gasket kit was ordered two weeks ago so I imagine it will be back together soon..... Pickup will be another story as my local connect may not be an option. Once I have my hands on the package, I'll update then. Yes, sorry for the teasers and delays. 4 Quote
RVFR Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 It's all good. I know all to well how these kinds of projects go. Quote
Veefer800Canuck Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Holy shit, this is still dragging on? Wow, it better be worth it in the end! Quote
CathyEveridge Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 A typical water pump wastes energy by cavitating at high rpms and may pump less water at high rpm. An electric water pump is not driven to cavitations and can supply more water. Quote
Member Contributer sa1713 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Member Contributer Posted November 26, 2017 Good news! I have the engine back from Hanson Racing Technology, Craig Hanson, in Chico, CA. I made a trip recently to ship it back east. Forward Air is about as easy to deal with as my brushless automatic car wash. No issues. Here are the build details: Mild cam hard face and grind by Web Cams (Don't ever use Dave Dodge. PM me and I'll explain) Intake and exhaust ports ported/polished. Valves and seats ground. Exhaust ports ceramic coated Water pump cover modified and ported to allow better flow Air intake funnels ground to match throttle body intake diameter Counter sprocket bolt cover (keeps rust/dust off the splines) A shift star and detent arm was installed as well as a new Custom Rewind stator. New SAMCO hoses/clamps will go on too. I'm in the process of gathering all the necessary bits for the swap. I have a spare frame (salvaged) that was turned into a three legged mare which the original engine will hang in while I decide what to do with it. I'm not sure what the results will be, but I'll get it to a dyno and post the results. 3 Quote
Member Contributer VFROZ Posted November 26, 2017 Member Contributer Posted November 26, 2017 Looking good. id be interested to see what was actually done to the water pump cover. Any chance you could take a picture? 1 Quote
RVFR Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 Sweeet !!! and Congrats. Yes, I'll second the water pump thingy too. Quote
Lint Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 Hey, Chico's not too far from me. I'll have to Google the shop and bookmark it. I'm curious about the dyno and definitely interested in the water pump mod as well. Quote
Member Contributer sa1713 Posted November 28, 2017 Author Member Contributer Posted November 28, 2017 Best pics I could achieve of the water pump. Not sure how much was done to the fins, but he cleaned up the inside of the cover. Craig is a super easy person to deal with. He is a very honest chap even when presented with an open checkbook. Cooling system is removed. Next will be the header, swingarm pivot bolt, and remaining frame mounts. Quote
SEBSPEED Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Really cool to see some progress here! Happy for you and excited to see some dyno results! Quote
Member Contributer sa1713 Posted November 28, 2017 Author Member Contributer Posted November 28, 2017 Injector RX received my injectors today, and they already completed the cleaning/refurb. They ship back tomorrow. Now, I sent the 8, hoping to get a good set of 4. Well, all 8 are now back to factory spec. Anybody in need of 4 factory new injectors? 1 Quote

Member Contributer Mohawk Posted November 28, 2017 Member Contributer Posted November 28, 2017 Blimey, and I thought it must be vapor ware :) Get it in a bike & get it running. Check out my mods since this first started, up to 120whp with induction & exhaust mods. I went with an electric water pump, much simpler. Quote

Easy, totally custom? Please let me know. Quote
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted November 29, 2017 Member Contributer Posted November 29, 2017 Great project and tenacity Here's something to aim for then.... Quote
