  5. Not sure about BHP, will have to see what the dyno says but it may be reigned back a little to stop the pin falling out of the grenade.
    The engin is with Wayne at GTEC performance.

  7. i think he was a little tongue in cheek...

    good luck:upyeah:

    Did the bike start out as a complete 996 RS ie before the twisted frame? i see you have opted for a standard frame...

  8. I guess it needs to get road registered

    I know of a 1198rs engine if you really want to go large..

  9. Following with keen interest :upyeah:


    BTW Could someone explain to this numpty why this 996 isn’t a Testrasetta engine, I thought all 996s were?



    (Sorry to hear of your lad Tim, best wishes to you all)

  10. 996R bikes had a stretta engine in, 996rs is a race bike with a desmo engine.

  13. Were the 996RS engines not pre Testrasetta and the 998RS engines based on the 996R engine :eyes:

  14. The RS is basically a race version of the Std 996 with different internals, larger valves, sand cast cases and magnesium sump extension etc..and pre Testastretta.

  15. No, I had a few race parts and the 996S frame and logbook so decided to make an interesting road/track bike.

  17. for a start the 998RS was 999cc 104mm bore ( the 996R is 100mm bore and 998cc)

  18. As in the 996R was homologated and the 998RS was the race version of that homologation special - didn't mean the same spec :eyes:
     
    #38 Exige, Jan 17, 2019
  19. the 998R was also a homologation...
     
    #39 andyb, Jan 17, 2019
  20. i think you could probably say the race bikes were along the lines of

    1999 2000 was desmo quatro.. foggy into bayliss
    2001 maybe 996r testa... bayliss
    2002 maybe 998r testa..bayliss

    with a bit of overlap..
