Hello, long story short after years of owning RGV250s and having a couple of seizures chasing performance i decided to hack up my frame and fit a set of banshee cases i got from the states knowing that they had more potential for a lightweight race bike. (just for track days and the odd club races)
So at this stage i have everything laid out in the floor to make an engine from almost all new parts. Now i am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to things i should do to maximize performance without breaking the bank. Heres what i have so far.
cases
4 mil crank with TZ bearing and 115 con-rod
A banshee first gear with rz250 ratios for second - sixth
All new seals and bearings
Heavy duty clutch spring with a new OEM sock clutch and fibers
Aluminium water pump
Cool heads with 18cc domes
Stock cylinders ported to 130/195 ex/trans (these were $85 Chinese jobbies so i could learn how to port without much risk cheetah cubs with domes and pistons looking at $2000 before shipping and duty tax)
Blaster pistons with a 2mm spacer plate
V force 4 Reeds
Zeeltronic ECU (running a Chinese ignition coil at the moment)
So i had a go at making a pipe (the half finished one pictured) but after a bit of reading figured out that the 118mm belly diameter was a bit ambitious so here is my next pipe i am sending off to be laser cut (please if you have any educated suggestions before i send it off)
I am also undecided about carbs. I am looking at Mikunioz and i can get a TM35 flatslide for $250AUD but then i can get a 34mm VM round slide for half the price. Does anyone have any advice on the best size car and which is better round or flat for the price?
Cheers for any help you might be able to provide.
