[DJ Tera]

Found a place selling it for about 1100 quid, includes termi half system (I'll sell that ) 998R ECU and 998R camshafts.

It will cost me max 400 quid after I sell the half system and my 45mm silmotors, and nets another 12-15BHP from 5500rpm onwards - anyone know any downsides to doing this?

Obviously I'm not putting the cams in myself

DJ, I believe you have got to increase the bore and shorten the stroke as well. Plus maybe injectors.

[DJ Tera]

We must be thinking of different kits mate - none of the tuners (JHP, AJR) I have spoken to reckon I'll need all that

[Jon]

Then your not expecting the same performance of a 998R

[DJ Tera]

Nope, but with an engine balance, flow n port, and blueprint it wont be far off 140-145

Got some titanium rods to go in there too

998r IS a bigger bore and shorter stroke!
I am wondering also about valve size, compression ratio etc etc.
I dont think youll achieve what your looking for with just cams and an ecu.

If you fitted the cams, what timing are they going to be set at? all sorts of unknown questions. Maybe the 998r/9r (there the same) cams are the same as a 998s, youd have to look at the open/ shut/ lift timing for them.

If they are a higher lift then they might strike the 998 piston?

I think thatll be a scrapped idea then.

Now there is a 998s cam kit that fits the 998bp to raise horses?? Its in the dp catalogue?

[DJ Tera]

Andy, they're listed separately as 996R/998R/999S spec cams!

Same for the ECU!

Ah well as long as I get power wheelies in 3rd me no care

DJT,

Just stick BIG sprocket on the back if third gear wheelies are wot you're after!!

The usual suspects can sell ya some BHP, sigma, JHP, Nelly, AJR, and a host of others.

It looks like only the upgraded cams MIGHT be any use in the kit???

What bike are you starting with??

[DJ Tera]

Its a Bip putting out 120 at the rear, ducatis dyno chart shows a 13 hp gain with the kit

Would probably sell the half system and buy a Sil Motor 45-54 jobbie, as I'm not too impressed with Termignoni's supposed "quality"

Is it worth putting in the ti conrods I have lying around?
