R1 Fuel pump

feeds@yuku.com (Sam) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 15:16:23 GMT

Hello, who of you guys is using an original Yamaha R1 fuel pump in a self made aluminium fuel tank.
I dismantled the fuel pump until only the bare pump was left ( I think the whole plastic thing is too big and would need to be installed from the bottom of the tank)
Therefore i am planning of welding a 1 gallon fuel tank in which i gonna put the bare pump.
Did anybody of you did this before?
Thanks in advance

Who is using non-stock ECU's?

feeds@yuku.com (Jake Latham) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 13:27:31 GMT

Hi All -

I'm curious who all out there is using a non-stock ECU in their car? Most of us are using the factory ECU plus maybe a power commander. I was interested to see what alternate systems are being employed, such as Motec's, bazzaz, microtech, and so on. Is this as rare as I think it is, or are these folks just quiet?

Cheers!

oil and water stupid question

feeds@yuku.com (kiwimanz) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 02:00:44 GMT

Hey guys what side of the cooler should the water and oil temp pick up be on? Also, where should I put the oil pressure transducer?

Thanks guys

Fuel Pick Up

feeds@yuku.com (MattMachiko) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:50:32 GMT

I have read in the 'weight discussion' about guys ending up with 1/4 gallon of fuel at the end of the race with the use of a special low fuel pick up. I was wondering if anyone knows where that can be purchased and if it will fit into a factory West fuel cell? Thanks.

'08 GSXR header

feeds@yuku.com (924RACR) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:44:16 GMT

Pulling my hair out trying to get something working by way of a header for my car. Picked up one of S+S's headers... not real happy 'bout it, nor convinced it's the best starting point to build.

Anyone out there know anything I'm missing, any other decent options short of a full-on Ti custom header? Stainless bits laying about?

I have talked with Mike Devins already... could always go that route, but I'm a little nervous about committing to a Ti header,...

oil line size

feeds@yuku.com (DOLeary) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:06:46 GMT

Just a question, with the Suzuki 1000 oil holes in the block being about 6an,what size line
do you feel works best from the cooler? we are now 10 an reduced to 6 an at the engine
can we go to 6an to and from the cooler?

Honda CBR expertise?

feeds@yuku.com (G Man) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:52:21 GMT

Anyone know the Honda CBR_RR motors? CBR929RR, CBR954RR, or CBR1000RR. I'm interested in learning more about these, and any lines on spares. Feel welcome to PM or email me. Thanks in advance!

Wiring harness for a GSXR 1000 K8

feeds@yuku.com (guilleracing) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:29:10 GMT

I have upgraded from a carbed motor to the injected GSXR 1000 K8

I am looking at the wiring now and keen to know what I can cut out of the original bike harness.
( in particular the exhaust valve unit)

I havn't got the key or lock unit. These are always retained by the insurance companies when the bike was written off.

How do I get round the ECU not "seeing" the key.

Alternatively is there somewhere I can get a custom harness,...

Engine pre-heater.

feeds@yuku.com (guilleracing) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:17:12 GMT

Hi Everyone.

I am in the process of making an motor pre-heater.

It works like this.

It is a seperate box containing a diesel water heater with dry break couplings.

You plumb it in to dry break couplings on the car and after about 20 minutes the motor is up to temperature without having to start it.

People with them say is saves about one engine strip in 3 beacuse the motors don't wear out so often.

The bit my wife is looking...

recommended plumbing with dry sump/cooler lines?

feeds@yuku.com (924RACR) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:31:33 GMT

The other thread about oil cooler adapter fittings got me thinking about my build, and what to do with them. I'm going full dry sump, so of course that's the natural place to plumb in the cooler.

So what's the prevailing wisdom about what to do with the stock cooler lines? Do they need to be looped back together for proper oil flow, or is that just a partial flow circuit and they ought be just capped off?

TIA...

Looking for oil fittings.

feeds@yuku.com (guilleracing) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:53:14 GMT

Hi everyone!

My name's Greg Guille and I am based all the way over here on the other side of the Atlantic on a tiny island off the coast of France.

I run an ADR sport 2 with a 2008 GSX-R 1000 motor.

We run the car in a French series organised by the team that do the 24 Heures du Mans.

I have tried everwhere to find an oil fitting to fit onto the oil gallery on the motor to put a remote oil cooler.

I have a machine shop available to CNC...

Oil cooler size

feeds@yuku.com (kiwimanz) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:24:31 GMT

OK so I was just bitching about the price of Setrab oil coolers so I decided to look at the ones I took out of my car that had a shroud on them and hey guess what, they are Setrabs. But here's my question. The coolers I have (2), have a cooling surface of approx 8" x 8" x 2" and are 40 rows. Is one enough to cool a GSXR, or should I use both. It will have a dedicated top mount duct forcing air to it.

I'm thinking one ain't gonna cut it. Oh and it will...

Power Commander Tuning Tips?

feeds@yuku.com (RussMcB) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:00:46 GMT

I'm taking my F1000 with '07 ZX-10R to the chassis dyno tonight. I have what I think is a good basic plan (see below), but looking for any advice. I've practiced making fuel map changes in my garage, but this will be my first time tuning a Power Commander for real.

I'm anticipating 5-10 runs. The first three will be to determine which map I will use as a starting point. The three I have chosen are the custom map that came with this used PCIII (I ran it at Barber,...

fuel leak

feeds@yuku.com (herman pahls) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:55:31 GMT

I was very fortunate to get by without incident with a serious fuel leak.
GDRE cleaned all 8 injectors and I inadvertantly damaged an O-ring replacing one of them.
I did not lubricate the o-rings which I now know to do.
I drove the car 60 miles on Sat. and it ran great.
Sunday I started the engine before climbing in for a drive and was greeted with a 50 psi leak.
Why it did not leak the day before????

I am not able to find a 10 micron compact inline...

NEW DESIGN MUFFLERS

Does anyone have a idea if it helps HP.

Fuel pressure

feeds@yuku.com (herman pahls) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:58:31 GMT

Does anyone monitor fuel pressure on their data logger?
Above 7000 rpm my fuel pressure drops from 50 to 42 psi (mechanical guage) in the higher gears on a 2008 Hayabusa.
GDRE felt that there should be very little if any pressure drop on an adequte fuel system regardless of load.
I am using a Mallory pressure regulator and just installed a new Bosch fuel pump and got the same pressure drop.
I am trying to solve a severe miss the engine developed above 7000 rpm at T-hill...

dry sump tank size?

feeds@yuku.com (924RACR) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:04:06 GMT

Any comments out there on the appropriate capacity for a dry sump oil tank for our 1000's? Seems like many of the tanks out there would be sized for car motors, and a little on the generous size?
