GS1100EZ - 40hp for $1,000?

[trippivot]

literally- 40 horses for $1000 ?

40 reliable horses for $1000 -YES

Simple I would plumb a wet nitrous kit, including a 3 outlet Pingle fuel tap, colder spark plugs. At full retail you have money left over.

PLUS! your 40 ponies are on demand so you don't have to feed them and worry about heat when sitting at a long stop light.

run a tiny 10 shot and a bottle will last longer than you think. nothing will get hurt - fuel mileage can stay above 30mpg-- By the way that is 10 per cylinder. 0.25% the full capacity of the power adding system.


Nitrous works best if you don't get addicted.

in the beginning i had no money...
everybody was taking there bikes to shops and spending thousands on pistons/porting ect..
my bikes was quicker more time than not.
when you have no money you get the most out of what you have...stock head and pistons worked fine for my poor azz plus i learned a lot.
just the facts folks.............
and...
and...
i have nothing to sell you...just to offer my knowledge.
the RS36's will give you 3 tenth's and a couple MPH over 1150 jet kitted carbs on a stock 1150 engine.
again....just the facts

Back in my early days of drag racing (85) I was on a shoestring budget. The first things I bought was a slick& wheelie bar. Then the air shifter and heavy duty clutch hub..I then had the crankshaft trued welded and balanced ( no real performance increase) Transmission undercut (no real performance increase) I was running low 10's in the quarter mile. The next thing that I put on my budget was the chassis. I didn't want to build the engine without having a chassis to handle the extra horse power. I raked the steering head and added a 6" over Kosman double club foot swing arm with wheelie bars, and a 6"wheel. It wasn't for a couple of years before I could buy real performance parts. pistons, cams, carburetors. That engine now is detuned and in my 81 street bike. What I'm looking to do now is to build a turbo engine (from scatch) for my drag bike chassis. Am I rambling. I gess the moral of my story is, you can't just add 40 horse power. You should look at the big picture...Or he'll with it, put the juice to it and run the **** out of it

NX makes a nice setup with jets to go from 40hp to 100hp what ever you want and with some extras like the purge system and some safety add ons like low fuel pressure shut off switch a must in my book you are still under $1000 and if you are sneaky you can hide it from some people. You had to look hard to find see my NO2 system on my GS1150 you could only see the foggers and I used the black lines to hide it against the motor. Ok it was really only hidden from the dummies. But that is who you pray on when you street racing anyway.

What is the stock cc of an 1150?
And what is the stock cc of an 1100? 1048 or 1074?
Thanks, Kevin

Weird but I've seen 1100 blocks stamped 1075 and 1074. They were the same though.

If you decide to go nitrous, you BETTER have a way to retard the timing when you are using it or you WILL kill pistons!!!

Although Nitrous Oxide is the cheapest route, and it does actually answer my question, it's not the route I'm looking for.

I like all the things that come with traditional motor tuning. The different sounds that a big bore, big cam, pod filter motor put out. I like the low rev torque. And I want to keep it dead simple, reliable, and fun. (not that NX is not fun)

I'm going to re-direct this thread to the next phase of my GS journey:
