Blair, Use Sunoco 260 GT it is 100 octane unleaded racing fuel SCCA legal

George

I saw the bike in person last Saturday at the International Motorcycle show, De tuned from the original GSXR but still might make a good car engine, The Kawasaki supercharged engine was...

Ok Boys, Here is my challenge to you, If you guys can put together a feild of 20 cars or more to start the first race I will give $1000.00 in cash, on the podium to the winner. Since it is a...

Thanks

Can anyone post the results of the race?? I had to leave the track to get back to work, Did the weather go as bad as it looked like it was going to?

George

You guys are making me out to be some kind of dirty old man!! Those girls were young enough to be my grand kids!! The blond girl was asking me what she had to do to become a Racecar driver, I was...

The exhaust system on the motorcycle was stock header, catalytic converter, and a slip on muffler that was made to go on a 2010 model motorcycle, When I tested the engine I used a Muzzy exhaust...

Ted, The starter clutch is in the center of the engine,
Rick, It was probably 40 degrees or less in the dyno room that night, For that matter Jesse will tell you it was colder than that in my...

Hello, The Suzuki weighs 138 pounds with throttle bodies and no oil
The Kawasaki weighs 151 pounds with throttle bodies and no oil

George

Hello, I dont know how to use a slide rule so I hate to change the subject but someone asked about the weight of the Kawasaki engine vs the Suzuki, I know the Kawasaki weighs more because my back...

Both tests are done with the new engine dyno, I would not post invalid results like that! Since I am no longer turning a rear wheel and driving a chain the new dyno reads about 2 horsepower higher...

28989 The engine is brand new from a Kawasaki box, Nothing has been done to it, The reason the ZX is so bumpy in the lower RPM's is it is lean there, I am working on fixing that. I have not...

Hi Guys, Santa brought me a new engine dyno for Christmas! What a fantastic tool! The chassis dyno I have been using for all of these years has serviced me well, But this new one is so much better...

The casting numbers are located on the thermostat housing 07-08 head 21H and a 05-06 head 41G


George

No they are not the same, Sal @ Superbikes has treated me well, Every engine that I have ordered from them has been exactly as advertised, AC Moto on the other hand ... Not so good, They do...

Sorry guys, I had nothing to do with the inspections that happened, The inspection was performed and carried out by the SCCA tech inspectors at the event. Thats the way it should be! I left the...

Alex, I dont think so, According to the shop manual if the wheel speed signals are not present the K Trac feature turns its self off, I will find out soon, I will have an engine, harness and...

I wish someone would step forward and want to assist me in this task, Maybe you allof6! Since the beginning of this class I have done everything I could to make this class of cars grow, I helped...

The term in the service manual (service limit) means up to that point that the part is useable. So if the head is warped .15mm Suzuki would say that is acceptable to use and would have you bolt it...

Mr Allof6, You must not know what I do for a living, I started working on motorcycles 35 years ago and now I work on motorcycle engines Every Day that get put in racecars. I work on all makes and...

I can't, but if we could find someone who has rebuilt dozens of these and measured the heads of...

Last year I was asked to be the tech advisor at the Runnoffs and my interpretation of the head machining rule was alot different than that, If what this person at SCCA is the truth this will change...

Who was this?? and how can I get in touch with them!!

George

Jon has asked me to chime in on this one,
The tech inspection of the engines will be done on the top 3 finishers + one. I will be following the stock engine rule as described in the SCCA GCR. This...

I think the price will be around $5800.00

George

The crate engines should come with throttle bodies and airbox with all of the injectors installed, (I will check on this though) You still need to buy wire harness, ECU, voltage regulator, and a...

The dyno runs were done with both K-Trac wheel sensors disconnected, It did give me fault codes on the dash but didnt seem to change the way the bike ran on the dyno, The next step for me is to get...

Yes, This is just the first step, an oil system will need to be built then fitted in to a car and tested The electrical system looks alot more promising than the Honda. It looks like Kawasaki will...

Hi, I have been playing today with a new 2011 ZX 10 Kawasaki, The motorcycle is all stock except for a slip on muffler and the ECU has been flashed. I also overlayed a graph of a stock GSXR 1000...

It looks to me like some people want to prepare for the future and some people want to wait until it gets here, I really dont know what to post on my opinion of the ecu rule but I do know as time...

First of all, I am not the one to say weather or not someone is legal or not, I offered my general knoledge at the runnoffs as a tech advisor. So it is not my call, I do my best to educate the...

Oh Man, I just have to chime in on this, First of all to get 200 rear wheel horsepower there will have to be some pretty obvious work done to it and easily visable to someone that knew what they...

I would hope that you would atleast try to find out why the engine failed before just putting on an oil pan and putting it in your car. If you havent discovered the problem the result may be the...

A while back my friends at Ducati Seattle did a back to back to back test on three motorcycles A BMW S1000R, a 09 GSXR 1000 and a 09 R1, These were all motorcycles that had approxemently 200 miles...

All of todays fuel injected ECU's have an atmospheric air pressure sensor, and they tell the ECU what altitude you are driving at, and make compensations in the ECU Maps, If you want to run a Bazzaz...

Hello, I get this question asked all of the time, How much horsepower does my engine make? I always give them the answer "ON MY DYNO", (because this is very important) it makes X amount of power....

Great news Sean!! I hope to see you at a track soon and we can go get a good steak dinner!!

George

Come on Sean, I'm pulling for you up here!! You need to get better so we can get together with your Dad and have a good steak dinner!!

George

Lawrence, Jake, What do your engine builders say about the bearing failures? Yes I do have my own way of screwing these engines together and let me say this, I dont think tighter bearing clearence is...

If I told you guys everything I do, I guess I wouldnt have to come to work any more.
Hummm That doesnt sound like a bad idea

George

A R1 clutch dosent see much oil, even in its stock wet sump configuration, Every R1 clutch I have disassembled has been fairly dry, Things got hot in your clutch because it was slipping, When a...

Good point Daryl, And run in an engine with much higher compression ratio

George

Yes Russ, Your engine needs to burn oxygen to run, If you increase the amount of oxygen in the volume of fuel the engine will get more power out of the same volume, Kind of like throwing...

Dave, I didnt mean to say it was not dangerous I ment to say " he said it was no more dangerous than other types of race gas" The smell dosent make it more dangerous. Thats what he said!!
I am...

Wow, What a cool discussion!! I used to believe that pump gas in a stock engine would get the job done until a few weeks ago when I was running a FB engine on my dyno and putting a pretty good load...

Good drive John!! How is that clutch working for you??

George

Mr. Wight, I didnt test with a powercommander as I said in my earlier post that my testing was not scientific. My goal of the test was to see what the ECU would do when the air started being...

Good evening, I did some testing on my dyno last year playing with different opening sizes for possible answers for the question that was given me about a single air restrictor. The answer in a nut...

Thank You Stan
