A new engine for my baby
So my wife or dog wont be getting an upgrade by my Stohr will. <img src="http://www.trackpedia.net/blogs/john/templates/default/img/emoticons/smile.png" alt=":-)" style="display: inline; vertical-align: bottom;" class="emoticon" /> After a lot of thought, getting screwed over on eBay once, and discussion I made the jump to move from the current 98 Yamaha R1 engine in the car to a much newer and more powerful 2005 Yamaha R1 engine. The motivating factor behind the move is that I want to get the car to EFI (devil in red on my shoulder says I am lying it was cause I wanted 14k RPMs and more horsepower) so that I didn't have to screw around with rejetting the carbs and the ungodly slow warm up times here in the midwest when its cold. <br />
<br />
I bought a 2005 R1 engine and am going to try to work that into the cars frame which I am a little worried about. I was originally going to buy Glenn Coopers built up R1 engine out of his Speads but instead decided to FIRST make sure a stock motor fit because I would rather be out 1500 (or at least have to resell it at a minor loss) than 3500 for the built motor. I still plan on buying Glenn's engine here…but I am just to cheap to buy it before I make sure the 04-06 R1 engine fits. I will keep everyone on here updated with pictures along the way. And here are the first ones!<br />
