Curious 1140 Big Bore?

[785rmk]

I don't own a 900, but I saw that someone was building an 1140 big bore kit for them and wanted to know what was involved in the build. What does it cost? I also saw that someone was building an 1140 with a turbo. I know they are heavy but with monster power, weight will not be an issue.

carls cycle built the 1140's a few years back, anthony oberti had one in elevation season 3 i think it was, that he wrecked off a cliff. Carls no longer builds them though. they were to expensive for what they were. AO's Ripped though, and i believe its derek from attitude industries that is turbo'n a couple, they should be rippers for sure

Yeah i know that Jack Struthers 1140 is getting a turbo on it this year. Hope they perfect this year then jack can turbo my 975 next. maybe i won't buy that lawn mower quite yet jeremy

boosted 975 with a boondocker tunnel and some more goodies and now were talking

I am really curious to see how he builds those.

He is gonna have to come up with a custom motor mount setup for that, and I don't mean just using CompFusion's mounts along with the SLP add-ons ..

Like he is gonna have to come up with a totally new motor mount crossmember that's much stronger than stock and weld it to the bulkhead or that thing is gonna make short work of the factory crossmember ...

If his 1140 turbos work and I get a good backup sled, hell, maybe my 900 will be a T900-174 next season

Derek built 3 for sure but maybe more turbo 9's back in 06-08... i know he got them working really well too, i was going to turbo mine until i put the 3rd motor in it, then it was time to upgrade

There is a local guy building a turbo 9 (Himark from slowest). I think if you had Indydan's crank update and a turbo it would rip. But the only thing I see is the cost.
