« on: May 14, 2008, 10:21:28 PM »
Just curious if anyone has ran a dry block on there busa? I have seen this post before but not many responses? Just curious if there are pros/cons to this? Got a friend that is thinking about trying it. Thanks

Dry block refers to no coolant, solid block. Gann style, originally done on the 93-98 "water pumper" gsxr 1100's.

I believe that this mod, would allow for a larger piston as you didn't have to worry about going to thin with the sleeves.I know Gann and Coby Adams, did it to a ton of the watercooled 1100's. Some of those bikes were fast as hell .

Going bigger in a busa block will make the gap between the holes smaller. Peeps have done the "off set bore" to allow more space between the cylinders but I hear they dont work for crap.

Even if you were not worried about breaching a water jacket with a solid block the walls between the holes would get too thin. You could space the pistons if you have a longer crank and a case that would support it.....this would be a new motor altogether.

A solid block would be useful if you by design the motor was blowing gaskets into the jacket..... I think most busa blow gaskets between 2-3 (may be wrong) if you pump the boost.

the 1464 busa dry blocks work fine,also have a wet one on the street that has put 5-6 thousand miles on with no problems,stock crank aftermarket rods,

this item as with any item your results will vary depending on the experience you have with that particular item.

i have been working with this design since 1998 and have had great results with this kit.


not everyone can make them work ,the secret is in the details.

pick someone who has a lot of experience with the kit you are looking for and they will provide you with an easy transition to your goal.
