1123cc Big Bore Piston Kit for 1000DS

[TAftonomos]

I've got to split the cases on my ds motor to make sure there isn't any FOD inside it....so I'm going with the "SPS" lighten job that Ben Fox does.  Big bore pistons, and maybe headwork + FCR's.  If thats not enough I'll put some cams in there and twist it up high....

How come you have to split the cases? FOD? How big on the pistons/capacity?

FOD= shit that aint suppose to be there, but it is.

Thanks He Man.

A west coast racer went all out on his sport classic ... he had done everything to it. Pistons, cams, headwork, crank, fuel maps, blah blah. He bought FCRs and an Ignitech ignition box and went from 105 to 115 superflow hp. Which is like 130 dynojet hp! I was like:    He said during races, it murdered everything else coming off turns.

TAftonomous:  I *may* have some cams available for your DS engine.  PM me.

Oh, and on the FCR/DS front:  I've been contracted to finish an S2R1000 chopper here in town and because of the configuration of the engine/frame/tank...  there isn't enough room for anything else BUT FCR's on split single manifolds.  Not that a chopper *needs* that much power...but hey...should be fun!

I'm leaning towards the ignitech box for ignition though...  Guess I'll have to look more into the Nemesis unit b/c I didn't know they made one.

where are you going to get your short manifolds?

I've been looking at the Jako Motorsport (.de) adjustable units, but don't know anybody who can tell me they "for-sure" work, and their experiences there-with.

These:

That bottom picture sure does look like a modern belt, doesn't it?

Yep.

And they've converted Dellortos to downdraft with that billet float bowl part.
Musta been fun to rejet that....

Manifolds?  I was just going to make them.

Guy who sent me the motor sent it without pistons or jugs on it, but with the rods just flapping around.  Since I'm sure they have hit the case walls, thats right where the rods will break at high RPM.

Since it needs rods, and who knows what has fallen into the case, might as well do it.  For $600 I can't complain.

I'm interested in the cams, depending on what they run.  Not sure I want to rev the piss outta this motor in the beginning.  Shoot me a PM with more info Stu.

Take a close look at the layshaft, it's ridiculously easy to bend it when the rods aren't restrained.

The 1000DS people I sent FCRs to use the original Ducati intake manifolds. The efi ones are already short. We run different spigots than come normal with the carbs.

chris - how's a brotha get hooked up with such things?

Basically, you send us an email saying what you want and we reply with a sales quote. I should just talk Sudco into building a proper kit for these...
