R1 Crossplane build
Hi
I'm totaly new to this Seven and BEC world. I have just started to bulid my westfield mega kit were I'm gona fit a R1 09 Crossplane
engine. I have not seen any builds with this engine. Any tips what to do with the oil system would be nice. And also if anyone built a new airbox were
they fitted the variable funels and secunday fuel injectors i will be very interested in pictures.
Thanks

I've not heard of any kits yet fitted with the cross plane R1.
In theory the advantage it has in a bike is not relevant in a car and it has less power than the earlier engines. As a resul,t to my knowledge, no one
has taken on the challenge.

I have raced with R1 since 2006 and i have to say that the crossplane engine do not have less power on the track, only in the dyno. who races in a
dyno? If I was going for the highest dyno number I would use a busa turbo engine or a car engine. I like Yamaha and I love the sound from the
crossplane engine.

In a car?
As I understand the power delivery from the cross-plane makes the power more easy to use in a bike allowing earlier throttle application exiting
corners than a standard 4 pot. So less power, but more usable. That isn't a problem in a car so just less power.
...and welcome to the forum.

Thanks, that was really inspiring. It looks like on the vid that the standard airbox is installed? Is it still or is a new box built? Is it possible
to see some pictures on the installation? Which mods was done to the oilsystem or other parts of the engine?

Not at all. Anything that sounds that good can't be crap.

Check out this motor well before you go that route. A fair few used in competition (bikes) have had head gasket failure due to castings deforming...
