What engine???(fireblade)
danny84 - 29/4/13 at 10:27 AM

Hi guys i'm taking delivery of my mk indyblade soon and am a little confused as the year/capacity of the engine
On the v5c it says 928cc
Engine no. c33E-2301781
Am i right in thinking the 928cc engines didn't start till 2000, but the engine no. indicates its a 98 or 99 model????
Its definitely carbed
Infinate wisdom required!!!!

Right, the original carbed blades were 893cc, the later carbed blades were 919cc, before they switched to fuel injection. Then it went 929cc I believe?

There was also a 918cc Carbed engine, I have seen it on the side of one of my previous blocks, unless its a typo on the V5.

Carbed makes it a 893/918/919, if you have a look above the clutch cover its stamped on the block.

Nice strong engine

Stick on a turbo and you have busa power without the cost or expensive when it goes bang.

From Haynes manual engine numbers SC33E - 2300001 onwards are 1999 US spec. 919cc

i have a 893 blade engine, how hard are they to turbo? are there off the shelf kits?

mark chandler - 29/4/13 at 08:04 PM

Lock up clutch

Low pressure turbo

Intercooler

Cobble it together locost style, mine added up to around £750 on top of the base engine (untouched apart from clutch)

There are kits, these will cost you £££, if I was investing this amount of money I would go for a later Kwak engine.

Regards Mark

How does this differ from uk engines....Anything i should be looking out for as regards to tuning if it turns out to be u.s

If it hasn't already been jetted. Then her it. Andy bates will talk u thought it and it costs around £100 iirc

It's like driving a different car after it has been done
