Do I see an F...ing axe? Did you have to chop it out of there?LOL

 

I have the utmost respect for you brother. What an impressive sight.

 

Ricky Bobby just wanna go fast don't he

 

I thought they stopped making the 122 due to over heating issues.

Re: 122 cubic inch kit
I have the 122cuin kit on my bike and the best numbers we got on it was about 132Hp and 151ft-lbs. But I am running wide open speed star velocity stacks with no filters. With a filter on expect 3HP drop. My bike is geared tall, I have the 33 tooth front pulley and the 280 and the road star 5th gear. None the less the bike pulls extremely hard. Nigel's cams are really good for mid range and top end.

You do nto have to go all out, you can get the 2.0L kit plus pipe and PCIII and the air filter kit and you will be very happy... I have not had any problems, the bike starts and runs extremely well.

We have done about 4 of these kits so far including my own. So far very good, with no issues. Nigel did change the lifters as the early ones made a lot of noise, the newer ones are much better.

If you are in a hot climate, I would definitely go with the oil coolers. They are good for at least 25 degrees on hot days.

Ride Safe & God Bless

Yeah, I talked to Reza about the 122. He said he did not recommend it if you would be in a lot of stop and go traffic.

Good luck with your build. Will you be adding Nitrous back to the mix, since you are using stronger components? I look forward passing you in my car one day.

 

Those are some scary pics to a guy like me who's not so mechanically inclined. But I sure want to see how this build turns out! Badass.

 

you my friend are an animal. absolute insanity!! how long did it take you to pull the motor?

 

From the top down I have a few evenings tied up into pulling the motor, I would guess 8 hours????

As with anything, it would be much quicker the next time around, which I hope never happens!!!

 

so is this a one off or is this a kit we can still buy and have a shop like yours do.

 

The rods are definitely custom, made to order. Not sure about the rest. PR told me he had a set of rods on the shelf and possibly the pistons. I will say his prices are a bit steep though.

I called OE the other day to see what their thoughts were on cams for the 122...they said they haven't made cams for the warrior in 5-6 years...the sad truth is that there isnt much going on with the warrior these days, as far as custom motor work. I didnt ask about the 122 kit availability...but I would guess that they dont have the parts on the shelf.

If my build goes well I will let you know who did the work and the final price. Remember though, I already have head work and speedstar cams....both of which are highly recommended for this build, so you would want to add that to the price.

 

all the parts all the places like patrick, oe, and such used were out sourced from other high end dealers ,like carrillo,je pistons, and cams recut thru large cam companies. so everything would still be available if you contact these or other companies that worked the the above mentioned pr,oe, . btk572

Exactly, that's why I am able to do this much cheaper than what guys have done in the past.

 

youve been on this for some time now...there should be cross links to tie these all together.

 

I finally got my motor back from the machine shop this summer. I started to assemble everything, then discovered that the piston skirts were hitting each other. Took the bike and all back to the machine shop and basically told them that this was their baby now... If there were going to be any other issues, I wanted them to be responsible.

I get the bike back and the guy that assembled the engine said that he added a shim/base gasket (which dropped compression about .5, maybe even a whole point, depending on if he used a .02 base or the .02 and the .01 together) Kinda disappointing to me, I sent the bike with a .01 base gasket, and that was getting me to about 10.25:1, then he changes it out for some reason.

So, bring the bike home and finish installing valve cover, throttle bodies, etc. Fire it up, it runs like crap. Get the auto tune up and running and do several rides trying to get the tune dialed in. Never really get it to run all that great.

Take it to a dyno tuner. Dyno guy is having issued getting it to run well. He orders a set of Bosch injectors. (I had a set of 660cc injectors in the bike...guy I ordered them from is the one that recommended the size...he said if I am doubling the oem hp then I need to double the injector size...I don't know why I listened to him, but I did)

New injectors, and it is running pretty good. It still acts a little temperamental, especially on warm up. Bike only makes 110/130. I am disappointed. I was hoping for closer to 125/150 or more!!!

I get the bike home and perform a compression test. Rear cylinder is WAY low. Turns out that the valves were adjusted too tight by the guy that assembled the engine.

Reset the valves...I immediately notice how well it idles, much less finicky at startup as well. So back to the dyno we go. New tune, rear cylinder tune changes quite a bit. But still only making about 110/130.

Bike runs good, but it is not putting down its potential. Now I am contemplating tearing into it yet again, hoping to wring out the last few HP...for some damnn reason good enough is never good enough for me!

I have since bought a Speedstar ECU...however I might be better off to send my ECU off to Ivan for a custom program.

When I was doing the compression calcs, I CCed my heads and was coming up with about 102cc, but everything I found on here says Warrior heads should CC out at 97cc. Summer was half over at this point, and my bike had been in pieces for2 years, so I said the heck with it and rolled on.

I also need to get with Nigel and see how much compression these cams might be bleeding off. With the thick base gaskets, large head volume and big cams, its possible that I am only running about 8.5:1 or even lower.

If I get the compression up closer to 10.5:1, add a little timing and bump the redline, I should be able to get the 125hp I was hoping for.

 

It will be awhile before I do anything else with it. The bike will be on the back burner for a bit. Snowmobile season is on the door step...getting the sleds ready. Finishing up a SRX build...got to love a 15 yr old machine that will smoke any of the new junk... LET IT SNOW!!!!

 

WOW!... that was quite a story of clusterfu$ks from the assembly guy!! WTF??

sorry you having all these issues. It's stories like this that terrify me about modding my engine...

Please keep us informed and updated when you jump back into this $hit salad...
