Scottish Kit Car Center have done a few now using the R1 14B Big Bang
They sound epic! A mate of mine uses a pair of these in his autograss car. He has had a lot of gearbox trouble. Apparently that is the weak point.
He fitted a gearbox from some American company and so far it's been perfect. Apparently the engines themselves are extremely strong, just the
gearbox isn't the best in standard form.
If I was going bike engined, this is the way I would be going, just for that noise!
Looking it for my trackday/ race car want one with slipper clutch and not having the injectors in the airbox like the cbrr1000 as they end up far too
tall as my car is a striker lowered so the sump can't stick out below bottom chassis rails most r1 as far as I know only need a baffle plate not
a billeted sump which is expensive
I looked at changing to a 5vy when I put my car together and it looked the best value for money. but in the end that fact I already had an AB exhaust
and the chassis was mounted up for a CBR made me stick with the Honda.
Andy now does an airbox that drops the overall height by quite alot.
