Fireblade 2006 170BHP!! 1000cc
Anyone knows if it BEC ready....
if it weights the same as the old engine it would be almost the best choice at the moment right??
altough maybe the price could be a poblem..
TKs
p.s. dont let you fool by bikez.com they state its a V2.... but it isn“t

170 BHP from a 1000cc? they aren't even trying. 180 BHP is the modern bench mark isn't it?

With tweaking it can reach 215bhp... this is what they are racing with this season. Though it isn't doing too well compared to the R1's...

I was thinking the same. The 2006 ZX10R is, according to the Kawasaki website, 184 PS (about 181 BHP) and it weighs less than a ZX9R engine. It also
redlines at an eye watering 13,000 RPM!!
If you could get the same increase in power as I got from mty ZX9R by removing the airbox, fitting a performacne exhaust and changing the fueling then
it should easilly see 200BHP.

2006 r1 175bhp ~58-60kg
2006 zx10r 175 bhp 65+kg
2006 gsxr100 176bhp 63kg
2006 fireblade 170bhp ~61kg
all of them (possibly bar the blade) should be able to hit 190bhp but will require atleast a decent exhaust / good cold air box (sausage filter isnt
enough)/ remap. passed that you are looking at head work plus skimming/thinner hg to up compression, over 200 and the engine wont be as strong as
before so not really worth it unless you want to consider new pistons/rods and possibly crank or turboing.

all of those figures were minus any ram air.
i think 200bhp is pretty much the absolute limit in terms of reliability, over that the engine will not last without lots of £££. up to 200bhp with
the life an average bec has then if you are sensible with what you do then it should last many years (if the engine only has a 30-40k life then that
is still best part of 10 years for most becs)
the engine are very strong as stock, they are far more like race engines than normal car engines are (eg forged pocketed pistons/rods/cranks etc).
also with the last couple of years alot of emissions stuff has been appearing, cats,ais,even closed loop, and this has meant that there is more power
to be had from a normal bec setup than the stock bike without any real mods, just remember to put the cat back in when you need it.

Unfortunately ram air will have little/no effect on a BEC as they do not typically reach the speed that ram air is designed to benefit the engine.
Our's has now covered almost 3k in 6 months so expect 5 years use from it then can we - it's all a little bit guess work at the moment as
not many people have begun to average out annual mileage figures for BEC's.
