Guest Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Funny what you find on google,the green vfr is mine it was a sublime pear duplicolor paint job,since then it has been a few different colors and is currently deep metallic blue,i would have never painted it if it wasnt rattle caned gold befor i purchased it.as for the straight pipe exhaust the bike is built out to and dyno tested at 180hp and requires very little back pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veefer800Canuck Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I would be interested in the type of engine mods it takes to get a 3rd gen up to 180 HP. That's GSXR1000 territory. Our own VFRoem has been tirelessly working on his 3rd gen for many years now, employing one of the best tuners in Germany (Thorsten Durbahn) for some extensive work, including RC30 engine internals, an 837cc big bore kit, larger valves, RC30 carbs, custom cams, ported cylinder heads, etc etc etc and has managed about 137 HP thus far, compared to about 94 HP for the stock machine.

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted May 2, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 2, 2013 Welcome to vfrd from across the pond! Kudos for owning up and not starting calling names....... ;-) 180 ponies does sound a little optimistic dyno run, maybe the dyno operator likes a good prank?

I thought it wasn't half bad, just needed some more parts painted to go along with it. 180 HP is a big number to believe without knowing what you did to it. If you have the torocharger kit then it would make sense, as I think people were getting close to 170 without much work, but more around 150-160.

Veefer800Canuck Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 OH, yours is the green 5th gen, I didn't see that, only a green 3rd gen, which is why I mentioned VFRoem's bike. Sounds amazing. Hope you can keep clutches in it and rear tires on it. I would love to supercharge mine, but $$$$$$$ Of course the kit is worth more than the bike, so it's hard to justify. Dan does excellent work and what you get is worth what you paid, just that I personally have a hard time shelling out 5k for one modification on a 4k bike. Pics would be great, or start a new thread so we can see it in its new paint scheme. Your internals may well handle more boost, but intake temp is going to be an issue without an intercooler.

Metallican525 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 8 spoke cheap, HA, good luck. Allmost everyone that has one knows the draw for it and what all it will fit it seems, haven't seen one start out bidding/for sale under 200, and that's not nearly what they seem to sell for. Best bet is to scour your local salvage yards and camp out on some on ebay hoping the seller dosen't know what they have and nobody else sees it.

Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted May 9, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 9, 2013 Metalican and Veefer said it best, but you can sometimes get lucky and find one in the classified section, that's where I found mine. Sometimes there are the occasional "barn finds"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
