"THE SAME ONE THE WINNER USED LAST YEAR "

i think that was the best advice i could ever of given

May as well use the max permissible CC.

Honda CBR900 Fireblade engine (RRY/RR1). 929CC exactly!


Gordy - 29/12/10 at 06:18 PM

honda makes a 929cc fuel injected engine for the fireblade, i've got a 954 blade in my mk indy which is much the same engine with slightly bigger capacity, its got plenty power been very reliable and gearbox seems very tough as well.


snapper - 29/12/10 at 06:39 PM

Joni, whilst the reply was not as helpfull as you would have liked, your response was to say the least rude and unwarranted.


SPYDER - 29/12/10 at 06:42 PM

Back to the subject...

The 929 blade has a titanium exhaust as standard too!
I can't imagine any other engine of a lower capacity to be much better.
Blade engines are held in fairly high regard AFAIK with few issues when used in a BEC.
Just fit a sump baffle.
929's are cheap too as they are not used in RGB as they fall in between classes if you know what I mean.
I did once hear a rumour regarding 929 bores going oval.
Maybe AndyB could clear that one up.

We have a 929 in our Phoenix.

blakep82 - 29/12/10 at 10:33 PM

anyways...
well, what engine did last years championship winner use? it worked for him after all.
have a look at what engines the top 5 use, and i'm sure one particular engine will appear in there at least twice. seems like a good starting point to me


Mark Allanson - 29/12/10 at 10:37 PM

I think this is what is know as a seasonally lubricated thread.


pekwah1 - 29/12/10 at 10:38 PM

someone spermed all over it?!?!?


joni - 29/12/10 at 10:39 PM

Its a pity this thread has gone this way. The humour on this forum is one of the reasons I like it here. I thought the first replay was both funny and actually (slightly) useful. As with all forums, if you don't like someones reply, just ignore it and take the good bits, having a strop at someone just makes you look immature and agressive and sets everyone against you.

By the way, if you'd mentioned in your initial post that you wanted opinions of the pros and cons of those 3 particular engines, rather than the more vague 'any up to 929cc' you would have had a better response, that may have answered what you actually wanted to know. Your question will just generate a list of the engines up to the size you specified, and if you're lucky some details of that engine, rather than a comparison with the other engines.

Regards
Hugh

That was the best advice anyone could've given, when I raced karts it made a lot of sense to watch the races and look through the programmes at what chassis/engine combos people ran. Gives you a rough idea of the good, bad and ugly.


gixermark - 30/12/10 at 04:13 PM

personally, I reckon the 929 has an edge over the 919's Joni.... they have a slight edge in grunt, and once we get into 5th gear and up above 90-100mph the 929 just seems to have a bit more push.

there is more tme to be had in set up and driving, but for the last tenth or two - I'd have the injected motor

thanks mate for your input i hopefully have a westy rolling chassic coming in the next few weeks and was wondering abouta zx9 engine so thats why i asked the question at the start to hear what feed back i would get ......but i will think better the next time i ask a question lol

[Edited on 30/12/10 by joni]


gixermark - 31/12/10 at 12:07 PM

zx-9 do seem pokey... Paul's is definately sharp, and they can be had for handy money - so may be worth a punt ??

did you end up buying the narrow westy roller that Graham had ? could be made a VERY light car that one, that could get you bang on weight


joni - 1/1/11 at 11:27 AM

no its a wide body one from england
