takegawa 178

[nemo86]

i wanna put this bad boy on my klx: Takegawa 178cc +R Bore Up Kit with SCut Piston for KLX110 - 20+ HP! - Takegawa - Pit Bike Parts

wat would be needed to run this kit?

im currently running the tb143 kit

 

[Hillz]

wat would be needed to run this kit?

$1,155.18 US dollars haha

 

[nemo86]

thanx for stating the obvious hillz :lol_hitting:

For that money i would get a 55mm stroker crank and v2 head and a flatslide 26-28mm carby = 155cc and plenty more power then the 143 would make.

PLus alot more reliabe then that kit . you dont want to run a skirtless piston if you dont have to.

 

[nemo86]

yehh i actually just had a read bout em n changed my mind....

so im thinkin just stick with wat ive wanted to do for a while v2 head, stroker crank, new carby as u mentioned a while ago

only thing i was worried bout with the stroker crank is reliabilty

 

[Hillz]

run the skirtless with the stroker!

 

[wogtaz ryder]

Shouldn't be any less reliable after putting a stroker in . probably even more reliable for the topend as it will probably lower revs and give more torque?.

But never really heard of the cranks failing.

 

[nemo86]

ahh k sweet...it just needs a bit more get up n go

wat did u get done to urs exactly? i see urs is 177?

 

[wogtaz ryder]

55mm stroke and 64mm piston .

anything more then the 60mm piston you got , you will need to bore the cases .

So with just Stroker crank and the v2 head you wont have to bore the cases . but once its pulled apart for the crank may as well do it if you can find someone to do it. just incase you want to go bigger.

But yer i remember that engine , it definitely needs a stroker crank imo.

 

[nemo86]

yehh true...so if i wanted to run the 165 bbk i would need to bore it out to 64mm?

just hope my local mehcanic no's how to install the stroker crank and head lol

 

[fiffty _boytim]

if you just get a tb v2 head with s35 cam it will make a massive difference over stock head so try that first if your still not happy then get a stroker but a 143 don properly will smoke a 150 or 160 china motor no worries and dont get me wrong i love my chinas

 

[nemo86]

yehh im gonna go that way mate...just trying to find a carb kit for it....on ch50's they've got a 28mm flatslide but then ya needa buy the intake seperate lol

 

[fiffty _boytim]

just get a pe 26 and head with manifold if you call them they will do ya a deal there good

 

[nemo86]

yehh true..fasterminis might be better to buy from atm tho lol

you can buy my unused s35d cam for $120 posted

Faster Minis is aboot $133 higher on that Tak kit than some other US vendors.

If your mechanic even flinches at stroker and head install, fire him immediately

Buy Billy's cam, fast, before he comes to his senses. If you put it in a TB head, along with Tak rockers and springs, it works awesome.

64x55 and a V2 is a lot cheaper than the 178 and should last longer. S-cut piston life is too short. Long legs are the only things that should have short skirts...

 

[wogtaz ryder]

The Engine has the TB "Race" Head on it to btw.

Equivalent to a regular Yx stock head ive heard.
