Wiseco big bore kit & new cams on their way!

[Wolfman]

Too cool! I've wanted to do this mod since day one, well maybe day two. This is going to be fun to watch.

I'm really interested in what the mid range does with the larger pistons.

Be sure to take lots of photos!

No recession is on Oz, huh?

On last thing. Any cooling concerns?

have not even thought about cooling issues, am sure that if there is any concern, Jim will have thought of it...he doesnt miss much, and is normally about 5 steps ahead....was watching him today when we were discussing it...you could just about see him thinking of 6 other things to do with the build, at once, while i was going through stuff with him...

He got especially animated when i started talking about cams!

:rockon:

 

[Wolfman]

paid another visit to the bike shop today, we have decided that we are going for a dtraight up swap with the cams, fz6 cams, for r6 cams....no grinding needed this way, and we know the cams work in this engine....

Piston kit has been confirmed as available, but not in stock, so they are now on back order...hope it doesnt take too long.

You can get a PC5 for her. They say its for an 09 but if you are custom tuning it who cares?

Any updates?

 

[madmanmaigret]

Isn't the "race" bike supposed to be faster than the "street" bike?

We know you are a picture whore so I want to see the inside of this beast while it is apart. Good stuff! :thumbup:

Well...it definitely will have quite a few extra ponies at the rear wheel....nowhere near as crazy as a superchaged, turbo, or nitrous enhanced bike...but it should still be a very strong, reliable motor, with decent engine life....with proper maintenance and decent oil changed regularly...

Am thinking a quickshifter might be a good addition after this...

Neat! I want to see pictures of the engine taken apart.

If you're upping compression, you had best forget about a blower for the bike. A blower will need you to lower compression.

But you don't need it. My stock FZ6 is still faster than my turbo bike. Your bike will be faster still.

I don't think supercharged, turbo or nitrous would give you the smooth power delivery that this kit will though... extra power delivered well (as in tuned by dyno) across the power band (as opposed to the sudden extra boost) might be less overall HP, but still better imo... easier to control, more use of rpm in each gear, less shifting... etc.

You may fall in love with the bike all over again and ride it completely differently if you can beef up the low and mid range...

Can't wait to hear about your test ride :rockon:

And how did it go? Its 10 months ago that the bike should have bin modded

Did it match your expectations?

Still not done!!!!

Yes i know....that's twice i have put it off now....but there are a few issues with reliability, excessive vibration that may be caused by raising the compression ratio that high, and the uncertainty of keeping it reliable....i still want to do it...but i think i will get another motor to experiment on...just gotta find one at the right price....

When you spend that much money, you wanna be sure i reckon....and i still aint!!!!

Sorry! i hate dissapointing people! And i know lots of people on here, where, are, waiting with baited breathe for the results....just like me!

Goodluck Wolfy with finding a cheap engine ! Sounds like a fantastic mod, are R6 Cams expensive ? That big bore kit is pretty cheap (If it is still the same price!)

The parts for it aint that expensive....it's getting the Nikasol bores re-lined that is expensive(over $1000 AU), and of course, the labour....

All up, it is about a $6000 AU job!

 

[rpereira]

Ummmm $6000 ?!?!?!?! What the hell !! Wow that is like over half the price of the bike !! Now that is a true love for the FZ6 ! Good to see it is still happening Although how much would another engine cost ??? That would add quite a bit
