Here is the build:
We hunted down a used 2014 KTM 450 SXF that was used for local mx racing. Overall the bike was in ok shape, however the bike only made 43hp on the dyno, about 5hp shy from stock. Clearly this bike is tired…but we’re going to fix that.
Specs for the build:
KMS Front Mount Turbo System
KMS 102mm big bore kit @10:1 compression
And many step by step upgrades.
We want to push this new big bore very hard to stress test the capacity of the cylinder structure…so, the first upgrade that was selected was Boring the Throttle Body.
We disassembled and precision bored this throttle body to a +2 and undercut the shaft for additional flow. This will provide more airflow to the head and increase horsepower through efficiency. The new throttle plate is also precision cut with relief tapers to ensure steady idle and smooth low speed operation.
