Suicycle?!?

I used to have a sane zx-12, but recently I have been doing work on it planning on adding turbo and nos, it already has a toggled rev limmit, and electronic gov. and I have added on a stls.stl Muzzy pipe. I plan on taking this bike to 400+HP, which is definitly within possibility. For anyone with mech. knowledge, what would be some good ideas to start with when tweaking an engine for maximum power output? I already have a few ideas but I would like to find some good resourses and tips from people with experience, as to find the best route to take. Also, since I can perform the mods myself, part cost will not be an issue.
Thanks

Hey dude... this isn't really the best place to ask about real high hp tuning... the people at this site will probably be able to help you out more so than the people here:

400 HP+ or 390 RWHP on a bike? Are you insane?

im going go with a yes on that z... but, with a wheelie bar, and proper knowledge and ability to handle it for drag, could be done..
definately not for street though, THATS insane

Lyndon, it would be pointless not to have and not push it above 200 MPH or 310 KM/H on a 400HP bike, hehe.

thats me just take of the wheelie bar

(i have a hyabusa:evillol: now thats insane)

despite the extra CCs, stock ZX-12 and Busa are very close, and I believe the 12 is better at handling.

i guess boring out the cylinders and getting some oversized ones would help? have fun trying to keep that front wheel on the ground!!

i'd go with boring out the cylinders, increase valve sizes, new cams along with stand alone fuel injection system that will allow extra jets to come in at the insane speed your trying to hit! keeping the wheel down shouldn't be a problem if you limit throttle impulse.

ohh by getting some oversized ones in my last post i meant pistons not cylinders

so your going to put your oversized pistons into the standard cylinder??????? whaat?

Sport Rider did a build up on a ZX-12R. I'm sure that article can lead you into the right direction.

ok, i'm no mechanic but you need to bore out the cylinders before you put oversize ones in. this increases displacement. for a 1200 cc motor you might be lucky to get it out to 1300 before the walls become too thin and makes it impossible to bore out again incase you need to.
but that small increase will do wonders for torque and that is what gets you moving as opposed to pure kilowatts or horse power

i said bore out the cylinders and get some oversized ones then i corrected myself by saying oversized pistons not cylindes, by that i meant that if u bore out a cylinder then put in an oversized one, was very unclear so i corrected it. im sorry about the confusion.

i heard theres a stroker kit to make the bike a 1240, that may be a good start.

I been trying to post here but it wouldn't let me for awhile!

Anyways I got the engine out and bought a DB turbo, not a kit one either. I'm going to get better parts to support the turbo then they wanted to sell you if you bought the kit. That being oil lines, stronger clutch parts, boost gauges, etc. I'm going to work on the bore of the bike too, just as soon as I find the right pieces to this puzzle!

Bolt-ons (but nothing is really just a bolt-on) would be the easier choice compared to getting into the internals. The limiting factor is how strong are those factory internals. Everything now days seem to be boosted or sprayed (or both). I can see where a turbo would be cool and nitrous would make for a fun rush, but for a stock application you need to keep it mild.

Get whatever system you feel cool with then get it up and running and tuned out. If you feel the need for more speed then mod the suspension, crank, pistons, rods, valves, cams, etc... and turn up the juice.

Sometimes experimenting w/massive upgrades leads to self-destruction. So take it in small/medium steps.

Whoa, you read what the post was called right TEXAS-HOTROD?!? Moderation is the one thing I don't need when making my dreams a reality! Besides like I have confidence in my abilities to build a bike that will definitly put out 400+HP. And again, like the thread says, Suicycle!!! NOT suck-a-cycle!!!

Also, I this bike has become Project, since I am getting a new Gixxer 1000 shortly
