Found a F4i motor i can have delivered to me for $600, which is right about what i wanted to spend...it is just the motor though...no throttle bodies, etc, and all it's got in it are the spark plugs...1100 miles on it so she's pretty much brand spankin new...my question is...can i simply throw the carbs, and all the electrical connections i have from the F4 onto the F4i motor and i think it should works...the fella who's selling it to me said it wouldn't be a problem, i just want to double check...like to get this motor if i can get this to work
So your going to put carbs on a fuel injected engine? Hmmm..... I think your going to confuse the Power Commander.
I don't know, Jeff. I doubt it. I'd try for the throttle bodies and the wire harness, too. Then, at least, you could really shop for a Power Commander, my friend.
Re: Re: Motor Questions - The more you know about F4/F4is the better that's what i'm also considering..it's such a good deal on an engine that's supposed to have 1100 miles on it that if it doesn't work, i can throw the harness and t. bodies on there and run superbike and formula series...
the greenie is back at it .....what chu mean throw the carbs on the f4i......that would be like a dual fuel injection system .....na but 600 does sound like a good price.....just get all the other electricals like the others have said and you will be good
Greenie, You owe me for this one I just finished looking thru all of the fiche pages on Ronayers.com for the major parts between an f4/f4i motor and guess what they are all the same. Even the frames except the f4i is black. So the guy was right... everything is interchangable. You will have to use your carbs, ecu, and wiring harness but thats it. FWIW the F4 is listed as 99-04 for all parts.
I doubt anybody would protest an F4/F4i hybrid being run in Superstock. You might be alright there. BTW a lot of the F4/F4i parts interchange. Frame, subframe, radiator, rear wheel, swingarm, shock, clip ons, rearsets, bodywork. Differences that I'm aware of are the fuel injection (obviously), wiring harness & ECU (to go with the FI), front wheel (different axle diameter) and umm, that might be it. I'd want to check the velocity stack thingies and make sure they were the same diameter, but otherwise I'd say it's a non-issue. I can't imagine that the block is any different because the frame mounts are the same. I have an F4i frame on my F4.
so if the blocks are the same, how can anyone tell if it is a F4 engine or a F4i engine? And aside from what he says, is there any grounds to protest on? If the part numbers are the same for the block and head, then why is it not legal for SS?
not too anxious to jump into that ss class anyhow..i'd be happy with b/c superbike formula 1, and a solo 20...thats about all my budget can handle
greenie give Kim a call, she might have a line on a f4i motor for $450. I've looked into the swap a little bit for you. http://forums.13x.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=46376
