I had an extra airbox laying around from my 10R project, so I popped it on the GSXR to check fitment...

Everything easily fits under the tank, and there is loads of room under the airbox itself (so much, in fact, that I plan on mounting the BOV under there rather than welding a nipple in the intake tubing). I can also fit the Rotrex oil reservoir right next to the airbox.

Obviously a new throttle body plate will have to be made to match the GSXR's runners, but I'm glad that everything else fits so well. The tubing going from the Rotrex outlet to the airbox inlet should also be a piece of cake to fab up, needing only a few simple bends.


Next up, I can't believe how quickly this part came in, but here's the inlet for the Rotrex:

It's made out of Alumide using a process called Selective Laser Sintering. It has a very high temp resistance and is quite strong. This part only existed on my computer before it was literally printed into this form. Amazing. I could actually get it made out of stainless or titamium, but the cost is ridiculous.

Anyway, this inlet will allow an oval tube to run right behind the header to the other side of the bike, where cool fresh air will be drawn in. I plan on removing the ram air tube and sticking a filter up in that empty pocket as I hate filters that stick out the side. Everything will be heat wrapped to keep the temps as cool as possible.



Lots of machining still to come.

Man i'm so anxious to see the results when your finished!!!:frantic

Before I get to the CNC machining, it's time for some good old fashioned lathe work. I needed to make an idler pulley and an adapter for the BOV to interface with the airbox.

First up is the idler. I started with a 2.5" bar of 6061...

An hour later....

Next up is the BOV adapter. Another hour (or more) later...

After parting each blank, I faced the backsides and did a secondary drilling op on the adapter. The idler was designed with hard anodize in mind, so the bore was left .002" larger to properly fit the bearing. Precision pays dividends in the end.

yeah buddy

Thanks guys. Since I only plan on running 9-10psi peak, I'm not worried about an intercooler. The time and expense that goes into designing an air-to-water system just wouldn't be worth it. If I feel I need extra protection, I'll add a water/meth-injection setup or run better gas. I don't do top speed runs, so this engine should handle my style of riding and 9-10psi just fine.

you are the man Toro

DAN....YOU ARE A GENIOUS(did I spell that right??? lol) in other words...YOU ARE THE FUGGING MAN!!!! Awesome detail,frome the wheels to the calipers to the swingarm and everthing in between...i'm speechless...this how I'm looking right about now:biggrin:biggrin:biggrin
