I'll be honest mate, if the oil pressure warning light came on and the engine isn't knocking I'd be tempted to say the oil pressure switch is your issue tbh. In these cases, if the lights come on the engines fucked. I don't think I've ever known of anyone be lucky enough to turn the engine off...
Yeah it'll be rings or ring lands on the pistons mate.
They're not that bad if you use the right tools tbh. Easier to do out the car than in it though! Lol!
Nah got asked but it's the wrong time of year for me. Oh and the fact that the engine isn't mapped, it's got no loom, you get the jist...
All I'd say is take your time and ask questions if your not sure on something.
Cheers. Should be once it's finished! When that will be, God only knows. Lol
Yeah a bit of a shitter tbf! Ha ha! Sounds like mine buddy! It's not moved since last November.......perfection takes time. Lol!
I'll pm you when we are going again. :up:
It's a shame you didn't mention the hubs sooner as I've just done another gb for them, and they're nearly ready to collect. Would've been ideal otherwise.
Just build the 197 engine into the 172 block mate if you wanted to keep the reliability side of things regards the shafts. That's what I've done with mine, albeit a tad more extreme over the standard setup. Lol!
I'll be honest though, I've never seen a shaft on one of these or a 197 snap!
I'd...
I've got gen90 pin out diagrams and wiring diagrams. I have the gen90 stuff in my personal email, but the wiring diagrams are on my work email and I won't have access to them until Sunday night.
Ping me your email and I'll fire the gen90 stuff over.
It's high but not mega high mate. The early ones were the ones prone to the issue with the clutch bearing/basket dramas. Top end was chocolate cams!
Mainly the racers that suffered the catastrophic failures though.
Anyway - we divulge. Apologies @rich83
Tbh mate I like to set my car up not to slide around from the suspension stiffness as mines still road going. The 475's on the back atm aren't anywhere near horrendous on the road either, but having some compliance is better than none from experience. If I do swap them out though I'll definitely...
Yeah always more to get out of the FF's mate.
My bearings failed, so I replaced them with snr bearings (oe fitment) and they'd failed after 25 miles max!! That's when the big bearing conversion was decided on.
Best way! Weight saving as well! Ha ha!
Yeah I need to go up to 90's on the front of mine, but I'll be dropping the rears to 80's I think. Possibly, not fully decided yet!
Cmc doors are awesome mate! You'll not need to do anything to them other than get them prepped and painted.
I've not fitted any but I had a pair at one time, but I know a few lads that have them fitted to race cars. No fitting issues whatsoever.
Yeah I know this feeling very well mate hence the S1000RR interest - with 192bhp and 204kgs, I don't think there's many requirements for hp increases! Lol!
I took over 130kgs out of my cup, so yeah it can all soon add up!
The rears are mainly for reliability mate tbh. It's a bigger bearing conversion as the standard size rears are shite.
Maxi evo has different inlet valves only, going off the part numbers I've got, but I'd imagine that they fettled the head to get the most from it.
If your going itbs and doing away with the standard inlet you should see the 230/240hp your wanting mate, but obviously the standard inlet will...
