The post some have been waiting for! 600/1000 Conversion... NO 56K!!!

eryq · Jul 7, 2006

wow very nice. i would love to pull up next to a 1k on THAT 6 and either A)keep up or B) kick his ass!!! lol. i see the work time put in but i'm curious about the $$$ about how much would that project cost? and would it be cheaper to put a 1k in a 750?

GSXR6BOY · Jul 8, 2006

Would be the same for a 750, maybe a hair cheaper by using the 750 fuel pump. Still have to modify the frame on a 750 like Scott did.

that's sick man! good job!

SmurfOnAGixxer · Jul 9, 2006

The project cost depends on your connections, and hookups. Whatever you can find a 03/04 1000 Car Kit for. Me, it was a steal thats why I did it.

If you use the 750, like GSXR6Boy said, the use of the 750 fuel pump would be one less thing you would have to buy, unless you get it in the kit with the motor. But mostly, pretty much the same cost.

Great job! I'm actually more impressed with the 5-hour build time estimate hmy I would have needed to put a clock in every picture, if I knew I was going to finish so quickly and share pictures :biggrin

Just kept my head in the game and didnt stop until it was finished, and the time had me surprised....

Felt like forever, but I guess it wasnt.

They dont check any of that during registration?

I was wondering what the law were regarding engine swaps. Im thinking about putting a 750 engine in my 600, but wanna make sure I can register it etc. Im in california.

Anyone know any info about this?

My 600 engine just took a shit on me and its time for a swap. :scratch

You were the same guy that did the swap on the 01 GSXR600s right?? What all is needed to do it? Which airbox for that will work?

Best bet in the 01-03 GSXR 600/750 to a 1000 Swap, to me, is the 750 airbox with 1000 throttle body boots/stacks.... The 1K box will work, but its a tight fit.

Sorry to bump this....but saw that the oil cooler was not used in the pics, not sure if it was covered in the 9 pages that followed the initial post, but was it used or not?

Any particular reason if it wasn't?

EDIT: Nevermind, just seen it in one picture i skipped over.

SmurfOnAGixxer · Aug 22, 2006

I was gonna say, its in there...

first off... amazing work. Both motor and color choice...

I've been thinking of doing a 600-750 conversion, but I've always had some issues stopping me from doing so.

First off... since the bike is registered as a 600, is there any way to change the title without salvaging it? Also, what's the resale of the bike going to look like if the motor doesn't match the title?

Also curious if you checked the weight difference between the 600 and 1000 motor?

Either way, that's amazing work, especially in only 5 hours. There's some real talent that went into that project, there's no doubt about it. Job well done!

SmurfOnAGixxer · Aug 24, 2006

THanks...

I never changed my info on the bike, its still technically a 600.

The weight differences are not that much, maybe 10lbs...

WaynesNside · Sep 1, 2006

I had to give props on this one...I wanted to do this back when I had my 600. Props go out the bike looks hot and I bet is a lot of fun.

Gets the fuck out of its own way....

Have you ever done/plan on doing a 05/06 1000 into 04/05 600/750 chassis? I would love to have a K4 or K5 600 with a 1K in it.

The 05/06 1K motors are the same bolt up as 01-04 also have the same hand controls as our bikes start with, it would be alot easier to do that motor....

fucking awsome.......... colour, quality, idea, execution....... you the shit bud.........
wish i knew as much as you've forgotten...........

Does a 04 600 frame require mods to swap in a 04/05 750 motor?
