RACE CAR PREPARATION / ENGINE BUILDING

Stephen prides himself in being involved in all aspects of the development of the Jedi and its engines. Some of the capabilities commercially available include:

* Cylinder head development using Flow Performance digital manometer flow bench and PTS differential pitot velocity probes.

* Multi-angle (and radius) valve seat cutting using Mira single point carbide cutters.

* Customer heads developed to date include Honda CBR600 F3, Honda CBR1000RR (2010 - holder of outright motorcycle lap record at Wakefield Park Raceway. Congratulations Grant!), Kawasaki KZ900, Kawasaki KZ1000, Kawasaki GPZ1100, Subaru kart KX21, Suzuki GSX750, Suzuki GSX1100, Suzuki GSXR1100W (Stephen's race engines and holder of many NSW hillclimb track records), Suzuki GSXR750W, Yamaha YZF R1 (2009), Yamaha YZF R1 (2008). All cylinder heads developed ported by Stephen are provided with before/after flow graphs, and are optimised for airflow and velocity.

* Refacing of machinable engine valves. Back-cut machining of engine valves for improved flow performance.

* Motorcycle engine building and modification for street, circuit or drag racing.

* Custom machining of piston valve relief pockets using our Geezero piston vise (precise and reproducible!)

* Motorcycle gearbox building and modification. Undercutting of gear engagement dogs. Welding of second gear to input shaft of early GSX1100's.

* Open wheel race car chassis setup, including corner weights and suspension geometries.

* Fabrication of components in resin reinforced fibre, steel or aluminium (wings included).

* Dyno graphing of shock absorbers using our Speedwerx Shock dyno. Shock servicing of rebuildable shocks.
