Engine comparison

Post by Team Grand Pubbah »

Guys,

I'm considering an engine swap into my 1WG. Obviously I've seen that this has been done with engines from the FZR600, YZF600 and a combination of the two. What I haven't seen, however, is any data comparing these options. Does anyone have dyno results from these three options? Ideally the results would come from the same dyno, but I definitely understand how unlikely that is. Does anyone have results they could share? I'd love to see the raw data before the correction factors were added, but I think I can pull that out myself, if necessary. Personally, I'm not after a huge peak horsepower number. I'm looking for big mid-range and a useable torque curve.

If I get the right information, I wouldn't mind pulling it together and letting you know what I find. If this has already been done, please point me in the right direction.

Cheers

75HP and 40ft/lbs for the FZR600. http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/146_020 ... to_16.html

95HP and 45 ft/lbs for the YZF. http://www.fzrarchives.com/ipb/index.ph ... =36862&hl=

Both runs were made with pipes and jetting. Both swaps have been done to death. Just use the search.
FZR400 (1WG): Purchased a perfectly good FZR400 with Yoshimura slip-on/EXUP, Yosh jet kit, Factory ignition advance, Racetech springs and emulators. It even had great bodywork. Like some diseased maniac I had to mess with everything good about that bike. Well, at least I have better brakes now.

FZR400RR (3TJ):Yeah, it's pink.

The YZF600 motor is the best way to go. You'll need all the electronics, swing arm, etc... to make it work though.
