R1 cooling system diagram

Guys, i need to get the water system done next, its a R1 4XV engine, but i havent a clue were the pipes go, i got the engine without all its water pipes, i have the engine and its thermostat thats about it.

I had thought about buying this kit - YAMAHA R1 98-01 SAMCO SILICONE RAD HOSES on eBay (end time 03-Jan-11 06:34:00 GMT) , buts its pricey and i won't use all the pipes, and also need a few additional pipes to and from the rad.

I'm also running a polo rad, and do i need a header / expansion bottle.

UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

Sorry to butt in but what age is your engine? If it's an 06 then I would really appreciate some cooling phot's too if that's ok.....

This is for a 5VY:
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/forum/23/viewthread.php?tid=143510
I have no idea if it is similar but I would guess that something similar would be shown in a 4XV workshop manual which I guess can be downloaded somewhere.
Regarding the pipework, I would mount the engine and mount the rad (and expansion bottle) and then figure out the necessary pipework.
For the twisty bits I would recommend silicon hoses.com.
For the straight runs have a look at CBS and Merlin. They will sell hard pipes of differing bore with swaged ends.
You'll also need jubilee clips for each join, check Ebay.

However, I used a number of clips I got from a scrappies for free. I reused bits of the R1 piping that came with another engine, and two adaptor hoses allowed me to use some ali piping I had, and I swaged the ends myself with a blunt punch.

On another more shiney build I got some chromed toilet down pipes on Ebay and used them. They look most excellent!

So, no stat, does it not run overly cool? Are you running a Polo rad, with a separate header tank?

It is a track only car although it is road legal.
I bought it as is without a stat, but at the track I have never felt it necessary, it is however very easy to fit so if you can have one why not!
I also have a polo rad, and yes I use a header tank.

No real reason, it was right money. They are actually slightly down on power compared to the R1, but have more torque, we'll see how it goes.
