Ok, now I have seen it all

[Neka79]

yea...carbs until abt the 03 zx6r i reckon.....

Ah well Neka, there goes my budget turbo bike (For a Kwaka at least) - Later down the track, I think I could get a T595 Trumpy, (Scandalous I know), they turbo nicely, run a piggy back ECU, not too expensive .... Blow through systems have too many issues to work though, like intercooling, never mind the fuelling setup ....

Actually, I believe the 02 was also carborated, thats the old shape.

Correction, double checked...... apparently it is carborated.......

thats wot i said... "carbs until 03" ..meaning the 02 was the last....

but he wants an EFI bike..so means 03 onwards..

a zx9r streetfighter (using a z1000 EFI) turbo would be super cool... maybe even a early 9 (if u can fit up the EFI) like the barge (96) ..they have a long wheelbase (or so it seems) and weigh a ton, so easy to keep the front down...

this is where i send the "gos signal" asking for confirmation...

I'm getting mad mental piccies of a mad arse, fat rear tyred, evil whoosh pop demon

Minimalist styling, evil imported headlight unit, comapct subframe / seat unit, in some mad bright green pearl paint !!

So is the Gos the font of all things Motorcycle ?? And what is this 4th Dimension I keep hearing about ??

The z1000 uses a different head to the later zx9 (whose engine it is based on) - apparently it can be made to fit but it's not straight-forward, and the land-barge (B series zx9) uses a block based on the old zxr750/zx7 motor so it won't even fit a z1000 motor straight in.

Best bet for an injected zx9 seems to be either a C or F series chassis (E series was different again, a bit of an orphan from what I can gather) with a z1000 donor engine - only problem then is you've got to spend a fortune on the z1000 engine to get it to go as well as the original zx9 engine (new cam grind, flow the heads, etc). Of course if you're banging a huffer-puffer on it then you might not care for the extra normally aspirated horsepower.

My ideal turboed bike would be a bit of a sleeper, something like a zrx1100 with a turbo hidden under a bellypan and an EL replica paint job - no farker would expect that

.....this is where i send the "gos signal" asking for confirmation...

for these types of modifications, the best person to be asking is I-K, he has done heaps of mucking around with ZX9's.....

Jock - if its a question about anything built before 1985, no worries I can help - But I leave the late-model stuff to the late-model experts.......The 4th dimension is my parts shed....... double garage with 4 rows of floor-to-ceiling racks (just like at your friendly wreckers), and a mezzanine level - its a great place to find bits off old motorcycles.......

Aaah Righto, looks like you blokes Neka and Dave are on top of the modern Kwakka Kit, and Gos old mate, not much changes over the years, sounds like you still know a huuuge ammount, and the 4th Dimension is a place I would LOVE to visit !!

[Kwakka Kilt]

So Cmon, who has the itch to build a one off then ?? HUH HUH ??!!

My garage currently consists of my fiancees sisters place, with 1 light globe, and no power points .....

However, still managed to build 2 motors and 1 bike there .... Trying circumstances to say the least .....
