Torqu3e goes Hooligan.

[torqu3e]

After a complete 6 months of night shifts including 3 months of college and night shifts, 6/7 day weeks, not having food outside, no movies, no parties, saving money from everything that I could think of . While in the middle of all this, Mr. Santa Claus came on vacation to Bombay . A big thanks to Alan(indianchief) for helping me meet the big man. I go to this small restaurant for the pre meet breakfast and the big man is too busy eating Dosas to barely say “Hi” . We had loads of fun on that meet, and towards the very end I was sheepishly able to ask him whether he would do my build and it was a “Yes” .

I bought myself a 4 speed RXZ, the bike was not in too good a condition. Work started on it.

The amount I have troubled the big man regarding my build, only me and the big man know. To the point that I got a reply to one of my mails as “Your mails give me a headache” feel like repeating that a few more times. I have bugged Ron a lot about my setup but I was pretty amateur then .

The bike was completely converted to a 5 speed, including gearbox and barrel.

Following goodies went on the bike:
RDD Digital-2 CDI
Chinoy Filter Pod Foam Air Filter
Stage 2 RDD Street Port
Dual Frequency Ported RZ Fibre Reeds
Dialed in Squish Head
Modded Piston
Mikuni VM28(RD 350) Carburettor

After a LOT(by lot I mean 50+ GBs, just imagine!!!) of porn to the big man, some real technical insights into his PC problems and offerings of virgins(hope anu reads this). I got my barrel and head back.

Me and motorhead were tripping on it. Got the whole bottomend done, motorhead helped with the topend.

3rd kick she starts. Will cut the story short here. After pretty much sorting out most of the issues, these are the effects.

The Bike makes peak power around 9000 rpm, is INSANELY fast. Starts pulling around 5000rpm and by 7000rpm gets shit scary .

Just to give an estimate of the power, it outpulls a properly launched Pulsar 180 for a drag by revving her just a little bit in 2nd and 3rd and not even entering the main powerband(4 jokes suck).

If you want to enter the power band in either 2nd or 3rd 100 meters is too less a distance to attempt it, without emergency braking manouevers .

The Bike accelerates hard enough to crest in even the 3rd gear .

I took the bike to 10k in 2nd and 3rd gear and it was a neat feeling, I figured out it should top out at about 7.5k max in the 5th gear.
Took the bike to palm beach road today with Rahul and we started flying I pull in 2nd, 3rd then 4th, Rahul’s ripping his RD and I am right behind him, I shift to 5th and after about 10 seconds I figure out that the RD aint pulling away, check the tacho and it reads 7.5k, I go flat on the tank and suddenly the bike starts pulling even more some more time and the tacho reads an unbelievable 10k in the top most gear.

We end the run and I was tripping like crazy.

While I was coming back to my place in Thane I again pulled on the Airoli bridge to 10k in top, man what a feeling it was, everything else looked at standstill.

The bike is insanely fast, pulls CLEAN from 2.5k to 10k in ANY gear. 1st is for power wheelies. 2nd and 3rd to scare the shit outta you, 4th and 5th to cruise.

I have stock 4 speed sprocketing with a 5 speed gearbox and it still have shitloads of low end.

I don’t know why Ron underestimates his own builds, he told me there would be no low end, there is enough of it to pull the bike and me and another 100kg fatass .

Thanks go out to motorhead, for helping me with loads of shit with the bike, professor rash, for lots of gyaan on the RX, Alan for the abovementioned and other help too.

A big thanks to Ron and a hug too for all the effort put in the build.

Next project big bore or an LC conversion .

[motorhead]

Now that's what I call running in HARD! Ron torque's bike seems to have low rpm pulling power pretty much the same as it is on stock 135 4speeders. Top end? well lets just say the bike revvs out enough to break tachometers!

[torqu3e]

Ya forgot to mention that, the faking tacho needle broke, maybe was not used to such loads

[chinoy]

LOL will settle for Sparingly used. Single owner virgin with good oral skills if the offer is still open.

Like I told you on the phone we all went thru the same shit.
Only difference your bike actually runs.

My first ported RX100 was slower than stock and ran like shit.
What can I say enjoy her, ride safe. And enjoy life.

[chinoy]

Sorry to hear about the tacho.
But yeah it happens.
When the RPMs go so high the tachometer does tend to take a dump.
They aren't designed to take that kind of RPM.

[crazydiablo]

Congrats man......enjoy your bike....

[rishikeshkale]

Congrats buddy!!!

[bikelover]

Nice to hear that man. Glad you took the holistic approach, enjoy your ride !

Right time to plug in a disc brake if not done already because you definitely need that stopping power now

[chinoy]

You got the latest Evolution of the Vignesh Street Port.
My basic Porting designs pretty much remain the same.
Just some minor tweaks and improvements over the years.
Funny thing as I was doing Torques barrels I was also freshing up the original RXZ barrel that started it all on the RXs.

[rash]

can i send mine back..its been almost two years since u ported it

[chinoy]

And its still running the same top end ?

[torqu3e]

Updates:
Front forks were shot, changed to pulsar forks. The protruding thing that stops the drum from rotating on the RX fork is not there on the Pulsar fork, so no front brakes.
Clipons on the bike.
Front tyre skids on hard braking(when brakes were there) rear tyre wheelspins on entering the powerband in the first 3 on anything except perfect asphalt.
To top it all i am almost broke building the bike.

Thanks guys. Ya bikelover sure do need discs now.

Ron need some data on the ports and my BMEP figures for designing a chamber for the bike using IWT Software or some other stuff from Blair/Bell, will drop u a mail regarding it.

P.S. Chinoy Filter Recieved, Thanks.

[arpandiv]

u can get pulsar disc + master cyl + callipers etc complete kit bolt on for 1900 in bbay....go for tht man..

[rash]

And its still running the same top end ?

Yeah...just changed the rings once...still kicks but

[rash]

Ron need some data on the ports and my BMEP figures for designing a chamber for the bike using IWT Software or some other stuff from Blair/Bell, will drop u a mail regarding it.

make me one too...when u are done.....this is so much fun

Bugger, making fun of youngsters who are learning, eh

[rash]

By the way torque....do u need the BMEP so that you can build a pipe or do you want to build a pipe so that u can have some BMEP


@Kaushik
Harmless ragging is essential

[motorhead]

Torq3e, b4 going ahead and designing one why dont you try out some local pipes? It would be ignorant to say that they dont work. You should have a go on the chamber vampire was running.

[AeroGuru]

Njoy the Ride man

[torqu3e]

Rash, i really feel like getting my hands on your neck. and why cant i design my own chambers? I know they wont be the ultimate shit, but atleast i will learn something.
Gonna try one soon motorhead, vampy aint too intersted in letting me try his chamber so cant help it.
