Seattle huh! where are you from? ..........I look forward to a build thread

 

[colebrian69]

i am from Spokane myself. and i just got back this mornin and already started tearin into it.


lookin for ideas on how to brace the stock tranny. this motor is alot bigger than i thought but i will make it work.

I'm just across the water from Seattle you might find this thread interesting, weed thru the BS and theres lots good stuff http://www.rzrforums.net/forced-induction/32308-mcx-usa-apex-build-updates-rzr-x.html

 

[colebrian69]

thanks. ill have to skim through it tonight

brian

 

[Tuf-Skin]

congrats.
are you going to use sprockets and a chain to connect the engine to the transmission?

 

[colebrian69]

thats the plan.

still tryin to think of a good way to mount the sprocket on the tranny. dont wanna weld it on.

 

[Tuf-Skin]

SuperATV might have the answer. they put a GSXR1000 in a RZR, but never came to market with a kit.

 

[colebrian69]

ill have to give them a call. it would be nice to be able to switch sprockets by just removin a couple bolts. instead of cutting one off.

 

[Tuf-Skin]

here is some motivation for you...

2001 Suzuki TL1000s 6k miles

09 standard chassis nice and hacked

Cool pics..really interested in the build too

 

[colebrian69]

made a little progress today. got some of the motor mounts made.

rear upper motor mount

motor mount to the tranny

ran into a problem. the passenger side cage mount lands right on top of the rear cylinder head.

Do you have any ideas for what you're going to do for the clutch pedal/lever or the shifter? I have a couple ideas floating around, but nothing solid yet

 

[colebrian69]

i have a couple ideas. my first thought was shifter in the center behind the stock lever with clutch lever attached but its my girls and mines rzr not just mine, and i think she would have a hard time adapting to the clutch/shifter lever setup. so im thinking a setup like a car, clutch next to the brake and slap shifter setup behind the stock lever. not sure if i wanna use cables to the shifter or some kind of lever setup.

hopefully that made sense. everything sounds better in my head lol

[Ryan31783]

no I totally understand. Those were the ideas floating in my head too, use a morse cable for the shifter and probably put a pedal down by your feet. I don't think I would use the PRNHL shifter much, so it may be relocated and just left in high most of the time. Here's a pic of mine for motivation

[colebrian69]

hey ryan. what are you expecting for top speed? and what gearing are you plannin on runnin?

im a trail guy but we do run down an air strip here locally that i know i could hit some pretty high speeds if i was geared right.

 

[Ryan31783]

Sportbike engine/trans's have a primary reduction off the crankshaft of around 2:1, and 10-15k RPM redline is irrelevant, the countershaft is spinning roughly the same speed of the stock RZR engine. IDK if you have done the math, 1:1 from my countershaft to the trans input shaft would put 6th gear at about 40 mph, we are going to push the issue and see if I can get 85 with a billet jackshaft that my buddy is working on...basically 2 chains, and 4 sprockets, overdriving a total of around 2.125:1 (85 mph). There's another guy that did this but didn't do a jackshaft, I believe he was 18:11 and was about stock top speed. I am really worrying about overheating the chain, but I will see if I can just buy the best of the best chain/sprockets and if they last a season, that would be awesome. If not, we will have to encapsulate the setup and do an oil bath or do an oil squirter onto the chain.
