After the toughest 8 days i have every spent working on a car, its finished! Well...nearly, i did a live map today on the road under load, but i'm taking it to a guy in Norfolk for it to be fine tuned and set up properly.
Spec is as follows:
GSXR 1000 throttle bodies
QEP ported polised gas flowed head with re shaped combusiton chambers
280 cat cam
running 2 sets of injectors using injector staging ( bike injectors kick in at xxxrpm)
Home made inlet manifold
Heat wrapped 4-2-1 exhaust manifold
Innovative LC-1 wide band lamda sensor
Megasquirt v.3 using extra code, standalone ECU
Mocal Oil cooler
Did a compression test, first 3 cylinders mabe 16 bar, last one around 14.5- 15 so despite mileage, a very healthy bottom end!
So it was all going swimmingly, got the manifold made, timed it up, out it all back together, start it up, and it sounds bloody awful, running on one cylinder, with no.4 blowing(!) out of the tb!!
So the timing was wrong, bent valves, snapped rocker, not good. So next day i bought all the relevant tools, re-built the head, and banged it back together, compression test-awesome, got the timing right this time! Then putting it all back together, one of the inlet manifold studs decides to snap. So i get the mole grips on it, then it snaps at the head...bugger. Out comes the drill, drilled it out. Started to tap it with a Halfrauds tap, it snaps in the hole, the day coudn't possible get any worse! so in the end i drilled a new hole, and put a bolt though it.
After that was done, after having to re-strip down the engine and re-build the head, i got it running that night.
Then the starter motor decides to go AWOL, so we could not longer start it! Put a new one on yesterday, and with a lot of pissing around, changing injectors, flow rates etc, we finally got it started again.
This morning i did the live map on the road, sounds amazing.
Oh yea, and i touched a spark plug while the engine was running when we were testing it, never gonna do that again!
So....here are the pics of the finished article, there are a few more progress pics, which i'll put in the progress thread.
Any questions on how its done, shoot..

You'll need an air box and it'll make more power.

Air box will create a better MAP reading for the ecu, but i've tuned it with tps instead.
