Firestorm Engine in nc30

[guymartin]

It probably been wondered a million times but has anyone done this? I am really considering biting the bullet and going for it. The result would be shit hot. Give me pics

Cany really help you with this one but if you decide to have a go yourself Geoff33 on here breaks Firestorms (as well as 400's) so would be able to sort you out with an engine etc.

Thanks ill get in touch with him when I get big enough bollocks to start it :s

lol,, with the name "Guymartin" i didnt think big bollocks would be an issue?
Keep us posted.. moore

That is the worlds largest mission. Will it even fit in the RVF frame? Not even mentioning the engine mounts yet.

[Cammo]

Big job yes, but if the engine fits between the frame beams then it's probably not difficult for the right person - not me thanks!

Check out this sv650 engine in an NC:

Also seen vfr750 and RG500 engines in nc's, lots of work needed but awesome end results.

Think the really difficult would be fitting the swingarm, dont firestorms swingarms mount on the engine like a crosser, maybe use the backend of one aswell? And the crankcases seem really long aswell. Not that ive been looking............

chop all that off :D

i'd be worried about it destryoing the frame if you get it in there,

theres been a few zxr400s with 893 blade engines in them but they've all needed a lot of strenthening as the engine likes to rip itself from the from.

It wouldn't be road legal anymore, if you have to modify the frame though would it? Unless you're paying thousands of dollars for it to be engineered and shit.. It's certainly not a home job.

[Dgeoff33]

It would ruin the NC30 in my opinion.

I have plenty of NC30 frames and a couple of Firestorm engines if you fancy it though!!
