some good looking work so far. can never go wrong with the dimple die. are you gonna run sprockets on the tranny to engine?

 

For now yes, I might change it to a silent chain and oil bath later.

 

looks great. do you happen to have more info on the slent chan and oil bath?

 

guys have been saying it heats up fast and breaks with just the small sprockets, so the sealed and oiled one sounds best

 

wow thats cool, lots of motor swaps happening lately

 

cant wait to see a video ...!!!

 

I'm having trouble keeping up with all the builds and I like it.

Nice job, good luck wth your build.

 

you might want to upgrade the rear diff to the HPD one. much stronger especially for the hp you will be running through it. i would also contact super atv (i beleive) they made the same thing a year or so ago and was supposed to have a kit out for that swap.

save yourself some headaches and toss the stock rzr wiring harness, just use the gsxr harness and extend the wires. too many wires and you will confuse yourself. plus when you have a problem you will not have to sort through two sets of wires.

suspension will be a big factor on how fast you go and how the power gets to the ground. make sure you get a good kit with a decent turning radius. with no front wheel drive and a locked rear end you will have to turn with the gas pedal. making room for a 26" dirt tire will be a must and the bigger the lugs for dirt or mud the better.

exhaust just plan on making it yourself. the aftermarket headers are $350 minimum and will never be exactly what you want. just buy u-bends and tubing then build it yourself. find a silencer off egay or from a streetbike and use that. these motors are really loud and the longer the muffler the better. mine is 12" long and 2 1/2" id and i have to wear earplugs while driving.

controls-i used the stock throttle cable. stock brakes. added a reverse hanging clutch pedal with a slave cylinder at the clutch arm on the motor. the clutch arm does not move more than 3/4" when adjusted properly. its a pita to adjust right but when finished a little movement at the pedal and the clutch will be enauged.

i would use aftermarket gauges for water temp and oil temp. i found a Dakota Digital 4 place gauge that was cheaper then buying 4 gauges seperately.

good luck and post lots of build pics as you go.

I am planning on the diff housing, UTV Crap hubs, and the front diff carrier as well. I did talk to Super ATV last Nov. (nice guys).

I found a company that mods/lengthens the bike harness, (Barker Racing Electronics).

Building this myself, 5/8" heims at each mounting piont, Fireball Racing heimballs up front. Changing shock geometry and bought a set of AFCO Silver Series w/progress springs from Steve. (waitin for the big brown truck). Summers Bros. custom length shafts on thier way too. Keepin the 4wd, lookin at the pit bull tires.

I agree with you on that, I am going to try to "personalize" it myself. I want the quietest exhaust I can fit. The intake is going to be moved/turned to allow the rear deck to stay intact. I want this rig to look as factory as possible.

I am looking at a couple of hangin clutch pedals. Gotta modify the firewall to fit. Stock brakes and throttle pedals I think I can make work.

Still need to pick up a guage cluster for the GSXR harness as well as an ECU. I want to build a closed loop EFI and need to find info on that.

good luck and post lots of build pics as you go.

Can do.

 

looks like someone should've just built one from scratch...lol nice work!!!

 

Damn oil changes get expensive>

 

first time those rear tires hook up your diff will be gone! the rzr diff can barely handle stock power. on the harness use Peter D Motorsports they are awesome. they also do tech so when u need help their there. if you have a header off a modified or late model itll work too. please ditch the tranny those things blow on new rzr's. good luck

 

sweet, I put a 600 in my 1000 was out of my buget,lots of mods and fab work but is worth the time and work.cant wait to see more.good work.

 

Look forward to seeing it out and about here in Colorado. I think I might have to scrap my SR1 Rhino build and put the R1 in my RZR instead. I found a way to use a sportbike engine and keep the 4 wheel drive.

 

And I have had Barker Racing do some stuff for me before and they do incredible work.

 

Tonight I developed a rare case of ADD... instead of pulling out the motor and trans and welding off and finaling the mounts and rear chassis, I got out the tube bender and started to fab the rear lower A arms.

Left out the shock mount and some bracing till my AFCO's show up. With the frame stretched 5 in, I am moving the rear arms an additional 2". When I get to the front I will move them forward about an inch. That will give me 8+ inches of extra wheelbase.

 

Looking good man! I gotta do something with this stocker soon.. Im getting a fever from all of these build threads!

 

lookin' good! I am going to start an 03 cbr600rr OR 07 zx-6r engine conversion pretty soon, the motor is on order. (I was about to yank the drivetrain out of my 06 zx-10r and swap it in, but I didn't want to deal with too many broken RZR parts). What are you doing for shifting and clutching?

 

I am planning on using a hydraulic clutch, I have not decided if I would replace the factory pedal and throttle with a entire new system or get a hanging clutch pedal. Either way I think I will have to modify the firewall a bit. As for the shifter, I believe a Morse brand cable and some sort of shifter handle near the wheel is how I will do it. Megadesertdiesel has an interesting shifter on his project.

 

kick ass build Thumper, everything looks great. can i ask what your plans are for the old suspension.

 

I am going to sell the arms, and axle shafts along with the polaris a-arm skid plates that are on them. I already sold the shocks to "stickman89" last month.

 

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.Hope to see the vids of it.People like yourself is what modivates me on this forum.Good luck.

 

man this is a SWEET build man! Whether it holds or not I love the idea of using the stock tranny! I wouldnt build it in any form unless I had reverse!

gives me some ideas for the current chassis under my bike... being I do want to replace my frame with a new one... looks like I could easily use my buddies 05 gsxr1000 motor for the old frame! lol

 

what about making a shift handle that incorperates a clutch lever set up like a motorcycle. Thought that would be a sweet setup. just would have to change the resevouir somehow. just my .02.

 

^^ maybe like a ratchet shifter using the shift handle lock to actuate a clutch cable?!?

 

this would be cool!!

 

yea kinda like that.

 

so whats new with the swap?

 

Still waiting for my shocks to get here to finish rear a arms. Got the flu last monday so stayed out of garage couple of days. Had motocross race this weekend so not much done Sunday. Got all my sumers bros axles switched out. Learned here from Jhonny@UTV CRAP about using a brass drift punch on the inner carriage on the CVs and they popped right off for me!

Ordered limiting straps and tube elbows for the exhaust header fab.
I am cleaning up and finishing the welds and tabs on the engine mounts and frame right now.

Besides trying to get the suspension finished, I have been trying to decide best way to keep intake and TB under rear deck. I want to fab a set of 4 short elbows to go between the head intake ports and the TB assembly in order to turn the intake to be paralell with the bed. Right now the top of the TB if connected directly to the head will be interfering with the rear bed and thats without any type of intake filter housing. (I attached a pic to better show what I am seeing.) I want to keep everything under the rear bed except for a single tube coming through the deck with some sort of filter above the bed.

Any suggestions?

 

how much room do you have to play with? and whats the throttle body diameter?
