ZX9R Install Details (For Loony)
 
Sump has been chopped and plug relocated, also theres a baffle plate, plenty of ground clearance the car goes over speed humps with no problems at all :

Pic showing ground clearance :


Origonally had this air filter setup:

Dont bother with this, even with the correct jetting all the top end power is lost. I have now gone to the airbox set up, from 8000 rpm the car now pulls like a train and sounds better too :cool:

Been playing with some 3M di noc as well, very expensive but the finish is excellent :

Next up is to get a decent exhaust manifold made as the primary lengths and bores are all wrong, then it should be making 150 bhp +.


If theres anything else you want to know, give me a shout :D

First thing - I love your car :) Looking great and must be fun to drive.

Your posts will be very helpful. I'll ask few questions, but in right time.
Now - I'm glad I took OEM airbox from previous engine owner :) Maybe I'll later build my own GRP airbox, but for now it's OK like that.
Bigger problem is exhaust manifold - I have OEM, but I don't think it's stainless - rather alu/titanium (knowledge from locostbuilders ;) ) - so welding will be difficult.

I'm preparing my DIY sprocket adapter, so next thing is... propshaft.
Do you use TRT or standard prophaft ?
Unfortunately I'll use cheaper version so "standard" propshaft made from two Sierra propshafts... with hope for later upgrade;) and electric reverse (with laser cut reverse gear)

Thank you for help with my "strange" build (in poland BEC's aren't popular).
