My 99' ZRX1100

ZrexRich · 03-13-2008

Here's how it all started...

Bought a very nice zrx from the original owner in May of 06'. Only mods to it were a Micron bolt-on muffler and a Dale Walker jet kit.

I replaced the tires and had a co-worker who does upholstry work as a side job recover a used Corbin seat I bought off Ebay. Road the bike in this form form till late fall of 06'.

By this time I had met up with some local ZRXOA members. Looking at there bikes really got my desire to mod mine going!

What emerged from my garage in the spring of 07' was this.

The motor that started life at 1052cc's was now 1166cc's, courtesy of a SuperBike Mike billet block and a lightened/balanced crankshaft by A.P.E. The rear suspension had been massaged by Aftershocks and the front receive Race Tech springs/Gold Valves. A full Arata titanium exhaust replaced the heavy stocker. The SBM block was purchased used and was a bit tired. I ran it as such for roughly 2K miles before taking it out to a full 1195cc's. I also added Carrozeria wheels with Galfer wave rotors.

A new years resolution I'm determined to follow thru with!

Best run was with the old 1195cc motor was 152 SAE and 88ft. lbs. torque. With the new turbo motor (ZZR1200 motor bored to 1224 w/Ross turbo pistons, lightened/balanced crankshaft and Garrett GT28R turbo) I'm hoping for somewhere in the 240HP range with 160-170 ft. lbs. torque.

Sweet!!!

ZrexRich · 03-15-2008

The blue line was a previous run put on there for comparison. I forgot to grab the printout showing tourque numbers

I have to dyno my bike before I make any more mods.

ZrexRich · 04-07-2008

Well, parts are starting to come back from the various venders. Got the crankshaft back from A.P.E. and once again they did a great job. They managed to trim off roughly five pounds!

I had the same treatment done on the old motor and it really made a difference in throttle response and how quickly the motor rev'd. Can't wait to see what it's like with 15psi of boost!

Nize!

With that power, time to consider getting your pilot's license! That baby will sure fly!

How often will this motor need to be refreshed?

ZrexRich · 04-08-2008

It shouldn't need to be freshened up that often provided I don't get carried away with upping the boost. I know of at least two zrx owners who have/had turbos on there bikes and put some miles on them.

ZrexRich · 04-08-2008

Hi Surfdancer, good to see another zrx owner on here

.

ZrexRich · 04-12-2008

More goodies...

Had the connecting rods shot peened and the pistons coated with three different ceramic coatings(tops, skirts and undersides). Motor assembly starts tomorrow.
