<strong>Powertec</strong> <strong>Engines</strong><br />
<strong>GSX</strong>-R <strong>Series</strong> I 4<br />
Suzuki’s acclaimed <strong>GSX</strong>-R series of engines are<br />
the basic building blocks of all <strong>Powertec</strong> racing<br />
engines, incorporating state-of-the-art technology<br />
with an unrivalled power-to-engine weight ratio.<br />
The <strong>GSX</strong>-R1300 (Hayabusa) is widely recognised<br />
as the world’s fastest production motorcycle, with<br />
a top speed of 194mph (312 km/h.) Distinctive<br />
features of the Hayabusa engine are its abundance<br />
of low-end torque and strength of the components,<br />
making it an ideal powerplant for four-wheel<br />
applications.<br />
<strong>Powertec</strong> have designed, manufactured and<br />
developed a wide range of unique engine and<br />
gearbox components, which are available to<br />
customers to enhance the power and increase<br />
the reliability of their race engine:<br />
› Cylinder head race porting and polishing,<br />
including oversize valve seats<br />
› <strong>Performance</strong> camshafts, in a range of reprofiled<br />
or billet cams<br />
› High-strength roller ‘race’ cam chains<br />
› Race valve gear including titanium retainers,<br />
race valve springs and one-piece stainless steel<br />
valves<br />
› Cosworth lightweight, high-performance two and<br />
three-ring pistons<br />
› Oversized cylinder barrels with Nikasil plated<br />
bores<br />
› Arrow high-strength forged steel connecting rods<br />

steel shafts, stronger gears, close ratio sixspeed<br />
and three-speed gearbox kits<br />
› Dry sump systems which eliminate oil surge and<br />
improve efficiency<br />
› Extra-high-volume oil scavenge pumps<br />
› High-strength billet clutch slave cylinder<br />
› Life Racing ECU and wiring looms

03. <strong>Powertec</strong> <strong>GSX</strong>-R Forced Induction<br />
The <strong>GSX</strong>-R Hayabusa is the most popular donor<br />
bike engine for turbocharging. <strong>Powertec</strong> have<br />
developed a three-stage system designed primarily<br />
to work in track applications. A Stage One system<br />
can be fitted without any engine work, and will<br />
produce 300bhp with around 6 psi of boost. Stage<br />
Two upgrades require engine modification, but<br />
will produce 350bhp with 12 psi of boost. Power<br />
can be increased to 400bhp with the addition of a<br />
chargecooler and further modification of the engine.<br />
