Nor Cal ... I have some ss/sc front struts for sale 65 bucks ...and some tc front struts 90 bucks ..hit me up if you need them

 

.5mm over size valves. Supertech

 

I know it doesn't seem like much power, but its in a 435lb motorcycle. New to me, 2012 BMW S1000. My old R1 had approximately 140 rwhp, so the S1000 has about 50 more ponies at the wheel. Top speed is now 185 instead of approximately 170. Acceleration is better, plus it has: ABS, traction control, selectable power modes, heated grips, quick shifter, factory alarm, self cancelling turn signals, wheelie and stoppie control in the traction control choices, and probably a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting right now.

Since I did several runs at the drag strip with the R1 at 10.2 / 137-139, the S1000 should do high 9's or 10 flat at close to 150. That is some pretty good acceleration.

I've only had it a few days so I'll have to report back after I get used to it.

Finally bolted up .

 

Lookin good. You can remove that extension on your oil cap. The cap will go directly into the valve cover. Only need extension if you want to put cover on

 

We tried..it wouldnt come off.

 

Yea we tried and was nervous about breaking it.

 

wierd. Mine came off no problem. has the same threading as the oil cap itself.

 

Sup everyone seems my car is ok, I'm pretty sure it was just the dumb oil cooler in my cheeser radiator, I got a used oem one and I'm pretty sure I'm back to normal, looks like the other turbo will be going on soon.

 

time to resurrect the cobalt! i moved it from my grandpas house to my moms. anyone know where i can find a stock 2.2 motor? im trying to decide if i wanna go ahead and put in the forged pistons and rods i have in it. of now, im thinkin maybe a stock motor but supercharged on the stock pulley just for a few extra horses

 

Which L61 do u have..the new or old?

 

there are plenty of auto recyclers in sacramento/rancho cordova area that have motors for pretty cheap. I got a 2.4 for like 700 bucks with a two year warranty.

 

damn, ima have to look em up. thanks!

 

So we gona do another mini mod day meet. Should have the new basket kit for the cavi. ******* water pump is a bitch to change on them.

 

The 2.4L water pump is a nightmare, 2.2L not as bad IIRC.

 

Ya i know that's the only thing left to get done.

 

Just got my brakes today. hopefully they're the right ones this time.

 

anyone a CARB/Smog expert?

 

Not an expert but whatca got

 

what does the state say on SCing or TCing a car? its for a (2.4) G6 to be specific. its an NA only car, never had SC or TC factory options.

 

Yea I hear that.

 

I'm going to Infineon today for Wednesday Night Drags, anyone wanna go?

 

I say **** the state. Sc that bitch

 

Wish i could go but can't. Got to work

 

tc or sc kit will need a CARB# or its a no go on visual inspection.
