I have bought a 90 cube kit from Hammer Performance with 30 degree reverse dome pistons,callirro rods,XB Thunderstone 1200 heads with his crush work 1.900/1.615 valves and 30 degree squish band to match.Will be also running his own crush 600 cam's.My bike is in bit's ready and waiting so i will put pic's up when i can
FUCKEN MAD! Congrats mate. Any more details?? Cost of parts? who's doing the machining? Who will be tuning it? ETC Regards - T1
And is that all the pics we get?
i didn't know AXTELL make a 90 ci kit , i have use there 88ci cast iron barrels before 115 hp on a cv carb
i'am doing a late sporty hop up for a shop that we are going too drag race this year soon,she is a new sporty 72 , it's a 1200 S/E only kit , no out aftermarket part's S/E only , when finnish i will let you know how she goe's on the Dyno & track as a compairo, modded stock 1200 factory against hopped up big bore streeters the best yankie has
Great to see some tuff motors being built out there.
Heads were delivered today
do they use a cooper or a MLS head gasket not too much meat in between in chamber & the stud pattern just enough, nice set
dr has a good point there about not much meat between stud holes & the chamber.
also would be good to see the two 90 "er's down at the track taking on the little 74 "er SE no wheelie bar no air shift stock wheel base also just compare quarter mile trap speed & half track speeds as you can work out HP that way & have fun at same time. Dyno's good for tuning the track is the real thing.
Yeh thanks for the comment's can't wait for it to be all put together. Machining for the cases and putting it all together will be Mark Hood from Adelaide.More bit's arrived 2day
Mark Hood been around a long time & well respected!
would have thought he would do the heads in SA?
Yeh Krash Mark didn't have any 1200 heads for sale at the time and was easier to just get from states he will still go over them no doubt. Heads are now packed to take to Mark so will only get pic if he want's to remove valves.
thats good you have him doing the job, not important about pic's of ports but thats to only way you can realy look at them with valves out. those rods are the best too.
what style of head gasket do these 90 c.i. kit use, MLS or copper
Will have to wait on the gasket set....got the bottom ones all okay but yet to receive the top set
I have dropped it all off to mark so he can make a start. I am still waiting for gasket set which is now coming with a Hammer Matched manifold and Mikuni 48mm carby
that sounds good, what manifold is he sending?
Also think it would be a good idea, if your planing to keep bike long term, to get a spare set of oversize pistons & few set of rings & few sets of head gaskets. as i know from past experience. you sometimes need these things, then you find they are hard to get. so better to have a few spares just to put away.
Manifold and carby have arrived......looks awesome, now let the fun begin.
