Well done Jonny and the manifold colour matches your camcover
That is awesome well done, with that close ratio gearbox you will be very hard to catch
[quote=pete757]Great result guys!!!
That is going to be a serious piece of kit around the track…
I am wondering why you did not have any head work done? Is the Toyota head that good ‘out the box’? Clearly so… but surely big valves and flowing would have let a lot more horses free???
Jim, love the white hot headers!!! [/quote]
Thank you Pete! There’s a lot going on in that exhaust you can’t see.
I think Yamaha built a great big bike engine - plenty horsepower, crap torque - but as you can see, there’s ways around that.
John’s got a more than decent return on his investment - plenty time for more R&D next year.
Going to be an interesting track weapon!
Cheers fellas, this is mega, I’m well and truly chuffed. To answer an earlier double barrelled question…enough and a lot.
The head was polished and ported (I had a go) but I think Steve at Track Club said he tidied what I’d done and port matched it to the inlet manifold as well as being reskimmed after I’d scratched it.
quite a build there
I do indeed…was going to dig all the bits out to sell - just never got round to it.
The new motor looks epic! I bet it sounds good on track!

It is
epic, bet it’ll sound ace in the car
Great to see the progress Jonny !
Bye bye Ka see you soon…
do like those wheels
Question for Track-Group. Why did you delete Mick’s complimentary remark on my manifold design?
I haven’t deleted anything…?
Someone did? I’m not the only one who noticed but meh - please yourself.
More work completed at Track Group. Slight issue with the throttle body housing situated to close to the bulk head so Mick and Steve have turned it this way up and made a funtional guide which works well. Oddly it looks pretty cool IMO, what do you reckon?
Looks good matey!!!
Looks better in the dark !
Lol …glowing headers that is
