- The 3rd video from in the workshop and splitting the lower from the middle to get access to the gear set. The video explains a few of the external differences between the gsxs and GSXR. After a day of not moving due to excess eating over Christmas work on the engine will get back underway tomorrow so will be back filming for the next one.
Very interesting. Thanks
Have you thought about a 800 - 1000cc snow mobile 2stroke engine ? , the litres can put out 300hp and more manageable low end torque vs a 4stroke , plus a litre 2stroke is probably 10kg - 15kg lighter overall vs a 4stroke litre , much cheaper to work on
Oh yes I’ve had several discussions with a chap who has tried the 2 stroke route but gone back to 4 stroke as they couldn’t get it to consistently operate without blowing drive chains. Think they had problems trying to fit it with a gearbox, rather than use cvt. The cost to convert the chassis along with the engine cost itself is what puts me off. With the Suzuki engines I can put another one in cheap enough and with the gsxs being what is a remake of the 2005-2008 GSXR just detuned and what was once a more difficult engine to acquire has gained new life with this new model. 2 strokes have a good number of benefits but the trouble I’ve seen people have had with trying to fit them into the back of cars it really doesn’t seem worth it personally for me. It would also make the car almost impossible for us to sell if we did want to move it on (certainly in the uk). The Jedi chassis is a great mechanically grip design but it is not an aero dynamically designed chassis so putting a 2 stroke in a design from 1984 would be wasting the 2 strokes benefit. The current setup we have with the chassis is that a circuit racer could quite easily drop a dry sumped GSXR engine in refit the other circuit parts that we have and go racing in monoposto or f1000. If we modify it for the snowmobile engine it would have to go back to Jedi for what would almost be a new chassis.

mod the rear a few inches to fit a 1300cc Busa yourself , grinder welder , very average skills necessary...its not even my car and i'm not happy with 225hp 😂 cant watch without thinking of ways to reduce mass and raise hp..can it survive on meth ? Ive seen a meth busa dirt hill climb..
how has wallice mingas got 800hp in what looks like a very similar car to this ?
@@TheCraigy83 yes we could do that but it seriously devalues the car for the sales market if you start cutting the chassis, yeah we can put a busa in the back but that does change the class we would run in, it puts us in the over 1100cc class and into the 1600cc class where budgets are going up. On average we spend £3500-4000 a year on entry fees, fuel, repairs, licences, tyres, memberships and travelling costs that’s everything. That is in a car that we bought 7 years ago for £6000 second hand but which has now more than doubled in price it was at the time just over 21 years old (now 28). With that budget we are still able to keep things relatively competitive. To go next 1600cc class up and be British championship competitive you are looking at minimum 20k on an engine if you are going new, 15k second hand, a new modern aero chassis starts at 20k without all the aero extras as a roller and that’s the most affordable one for us that’s not affordable with the finances we have. Plus there is all the extra costs that go with damage on a modern car as a lot are designed specifically for hillclimbs the repairs can be massively costly. The Jedi being a circuit car as well as a hillclimb car means there was enough made and it keeps repairs cheap because the circuit guys tend to have more off track visits. Yes we can run methanol, I’ve got the gear to run methanol now so it will be all part of the development for 2025. Wallace’s Gould is a much bigger car than ours with a much more modern 25+ years newer aerodynamic chassis and runs a 2750cc Cosworth Xd indycar engine with turbos removed. It’s been stroked and bored out to 3300cc.

i didnt think about class limits , i assume there's a minimum weight limit aswel , you probably cant start swapping everything for titanium + carbon where its currently steel?
Basically the upgrade potential is you losing a stone /14lb , win some of that jawline back 😂 , whats meth worth in a 1000cc gsxr ? 35 - 40hp? using a petrol mix so you can see flames ?
Since your runs are so short could you vent a pure oxygen 1lire bottle directly at your air/in your air box ? Fit a mini hose inside your k&n right up to the inlet ports? would your ecu allow it or go on strike ?
You can ride a 2stroke with no petrol reaching down spraying deodorant straight into the carb inlet 😂, i've never tried pure oxygen probably get more hp/blow up /set my arm on fire 😂.
@@TheCraigy83 yes there is a rule book which we have to follow and capacity splits, it’s not anything goes. There isn’t a weight limit but we are around the same weight as some of the modern cars around 300kgs. Someone has gone down the titanium and carbon route at great expense, probably best part of £65000 without an engine.
Yeah that’s the plan is to get some more weight off of myself, very difficult at the moment due to ongoing medical issues restricting what I can do but 2 stone is about what I’m looking at once health is returned.
You’re a bit off with meth it’s only around 10% gain in power so maybe 20hp if you’re lucky. Again rules dictate what you can and can’t do, so for fuel it’s pure meth or petrol up to 102 octane that’s it no additional things are to be mixed, not even allowed to use octane booster for petrol.
