EDR R6 636cc Superbike Engine Package 2006-2024
The R6 is hands down the most popular all around track bike ever! There is a reason you see so many & EDR Performance has built OVER 250+ R6 engines alone! More than any single shop/builder we know of. With 30+ years of building championship winning engines, Eric Dorn, our founder/engine builder has developed the most powerful and reliable R6 superbike build out there! We have many used as race bikes, track day bikes, street bikes and even mini sprint/dwarf cars. Its so fun to have a "600" that can embarrass 1000cc on the race track!
The EDR R636cc Superbike, once completed with our supporting modifications/tuning you will have anywhere from 140-150+ rwhp! Yep, you read that right!
We have many of these R6 bikes and builds running around the county, a few have shattered track records, won numerous races and championships, not to mention embarrassed many liter bike riders! The 636 Superbike package just takes it to the next level
To help you understand it more we have created some information for you.
1. What year is required?
2. What is turn around time?
3. What is the maintenance required?
4. What fuel do i have to run
5. What are the tuning options?
6. What else would I need on my bike to complete the package?
7. What does this build include?
1. We offer this build for 2006-2024 R6 bike's. While the 2006-2007, 2008-2016 and 2017+ vary a little bit, they are overall the same engine package. We highly recommend you have a lower mile bike as it wont need additional unseen repairs or parts.
2. Turn around time varies. We suggest you ship us your core engine in good running condition and that way you can keep riding your bike. Most of our clients buy a used street low mile engine off eBay or such for the same year as their bike gen, ship it to us and we build it. Once done they simply swap engines out and resell their stock engine. Of course many do ship us complete bikes to do it 100% from start to finish, ride in 108-110rwhp stock R6 and ride out 140+ rwhp EDR Performance built/tuned R663 superbike! *contact us for complete bike builds
3. Maintenance is IDENTICAL TO STOCK! NO bullshit, no special needs. The only thing that is vital is
A: Bike must be up to temp before riding it (even stock you should do this) Oil temp is VITAL
B. Run a good engine out (We use Motul 300v 5w40)
C run the PROPER FUEL for what we built and tuned it for! If you had us build and tuned for race fuel, then run that. Yes you can run our R636 superbikes on 92 pump gas however we must know this ahead of build as we build and tune the differently for the ability to safely run 92-93 pump fuel Service intervals are simple, we recommend checking/cleaning/Replacing spark plugs once a year, valve inspection once every two years and so forth.
4. Fuel again can vary, we can tailor it to run Pump 92, Pump 100, VP U4.4, VP MR12, VP MRXO1, VP T4, etc. Again the most important aspect is you commit to your fuel choice and we must confirm this with you ahead of build. MOST of our EDR Superbike engine clients run a mix 50/50 of super unleaded and 100 octane race fuel (Sunoco 100 or VP u4.4) that is super easy to get, does not cost much (raises fuel price for a track day by maybe $40) the most power will be based off a MR12 fuel build and tune requiring you run pure MR12 for this. *again contact us for dual/multiple map options
5. Tuning options are many. We include our EDR636 ECU base tune with this package, however as you know the R6 electronics on the 06-16 gen are pretty limited so MOST of our 06-16 R6 owners have us install/tune a piggy back like the Rapidbike Racing which is what we use the most, these systems allow you to add a quick shifter, adjust engine braking, add launch control and really nice is the addition of traction control! Also most run the Rapidbike MyTuning (Active real time auto tune) to further ensure reliability since fuel quality can vary and it will help adjust our base map tune from summer to winter. The 2017+ builds we typically do 100% in the ecu with adding race tools for quick shifter up and down, LC, EB strategies, Pit limiter and warm up features
6. Other items needed and to be discussed with EDR are the following
A: Improved cooling. We have 2 custom oversized radiators for the R636 made for us out of Italy. The first is the minimum that you must run, its our standard oversized water radiator, these are currently $2,100 complete and drastically help maintain water temps. Many do upgrade even further to our full WSS EVO 3 piece oversized radiator plus oversized oil cooler! The oil cooler is a massive improvement in controlling and maintaining oil temps which are vital on the R6 engines when pushed over 140 rwhp! These EVO radiators are extremely large so you will need some trimming on bodywork and not streetable. These run $4,550 complete. We can have mounts for a cooling fan for those in extreme temps (AZ/TX) or street builds, street builds 100% will need the fan option for stop lights, etc. includes race kit silicone hoses in blue, optional colors available at additional price.
B: GOOD full exhaust, again the exhaust is 100% vital on these we have a few options for them. Eric, our engine builder/tuner insist on the "long tube" style exhaust on these, not the shorty systems. We see much better midrange and acceleration with these. We have great results with the exclusive EDR Designed Vandemon full titanium system as well as the Akrapovic EVO full titanium and even the Spark WSBK Konix system. The EDR Vandemon full titanium system is currently $2,000, the Akrapovic Titanium is $2,250 and the Spark WSBK Titanium is $2,150 they also do offer a similar system in SS only that is only $1,450. You can of course use your own exhaust, but please discuss with us ahead of time, some do not clear the larger EDR Kit radiator.
C: Velocity stacks, our EDR Velocity stacks are 100% required on 2008+ gen R6 (no option 06-07). These run $650/set
D: Good air filter is vital. We use the DNA Racing filter. MWR WSBK is an option for race use only however it does require more maintenance with cleaning once a month!
E. Good chain sprocket, braking, etc remember you are adding more power and speed! Make sure you have the rest of the bike up to speed!
