Skellys race engine
Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2020 10:05 pm
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie here so this TRX malarkey is still a bit of a learning curve.
I'm building a TRX850 race bike and I'm currently pondering engine mods.
I already have an Ignitech tci4 or whatever its called, Big zorst and FCR41 carbs.
I have a few engine ideas but I thought it may be sensible to put some questions on here first.
It would be interesting to hear peoples thoughts on getting this engine to really go while having a decent amount of reliability.
Are there any cam / valve / piston combinations that are tried and tested ?
Do I really need posh rods ? are the originals crap ?
Also it would be ace if any of you could point me in the direction of good suppliers for tuning goodies.
So far I have only found this:

I have a decent machine shop so can do valve seat cutting, cylinder boring / honing, ali welding, milling, turning etc and I have built race engines for years so I'm cool with getting all techy if needs be.
Hope some of you can help.
Cheers
