Project; Turbo GSXR Slingshot

Had to order a few shims in the end, didn't quite have a big enough selection!

Intake clearances are
4 at .10
3 at .11
1 at .12

Exhaust clearances are
5 at .20
1 at .21
2 at .22

Close enough for me. I'll double check them once the engine is together and timed up.
 
Its moved to its new home!



Having a look at fitting the air filter now, bought an itg foam one with backplate.
Hoping it'll be big enough but also blend in. They do a domed filter that fits the plate I have so I'll probably end up with that rather than the squared one I have.
 
Certainly have!

Back plate bolted up, needs the hole putting in it and I'll sleeve and seal it with part of the original velocity stack.







The domed one will look neater against the frame but it doesn't stick out any further than the engine.
 
Back plate for the air box is mostly done, just need to fit the water injection nozzle.
Not sure if its the ideal velocity stack but I can always trim it down. Need to decide on the straight or domed filter before I trim this one to fit.





 
Picked this up from WSR at Santa Pod on Sunday.
Doesn't quite fit my clutch so I'll need a few B12 bits to make a hybrid.
Got the clutch cover back as well, re-machined to get rid of the dent.



 
I've only just started tho so it's still a bit of a mine field but I have wanted to do one for years so I jumped right in and bought a bare frame lol I have a 91 750L slingshot frame it's away to be sent to a ex moto gp and wsb engineer for some bracing/strengthening then I'm using a oil cooled 1100K motor which is getting a 1210 bore kit and a turbo with efi, I have a busa front end and extended busa swingarm for it too just need to get my frame done first then it's game on!! :)
 
Horrendously expensive bearings are here, plus a few circlips and a new starter clutch that I got for £30 off ebay.




Gearbox has been stripped down, I've selected the best bits from 3 or 4 boxes. All cleaned, new circlips and bearings and installed into the upper case.

 
Ready to drop the lower case on now. Suzuki bond and some stainless bolts should be here tomorrow. Using the original bolts for the crank bearings.

 
Lesson no. 1 in engine building. Check EVERYTHING twice!

Forgot to press the sprocket spacer on the output shaft and fit the oil seal.
Done.

I'd take care using the stainless bolts for the cases as the torque characteristics can be different than the originals - can remember snapping a stainless M6 in a pair of clip-on's trying to torque it up as per the manual.

Not quite as worrying as the Busa bottom end my bro reluctantly assembled with the customer's supplied titanium bolts, only for 1 of them to snap overnight :eek:

The stainless ones are only for the case edges, the main crank bolts will stay standard.

I've never snapped a stainless bolt but its not a risk I'm going to take.

That'll do the job then :)

Out of interest whereabouts are you based?

My brother has worked on the oil-cooled GSXR/Bandit motors plus some WP's for many many years now and the garage is pretty much full of bits and pieces off them - he's in Cheshire.
