New Busa Engine

[Karlo]

I never did like the Chain setup.

New product- H2 BUSA engine! The design is complete and manufacturing has begun on the BUSA engine.

The H2 BUSA engine will be offered as a kit or complete engine. As a kit, it allows the transfer of all Suzuki Hayabusa upper engine parts to a robust 6061-T6 billet crankcase designed to be mated to automotive gearboxes like the Ford Sierra Type 9. The engine has a 4 stage dry sump system which enables the crankshaft to be just 116mm from the engine bottom. With the 140mm clutch, 215mm flywheel and compact bellhousing, the entire drivetrain on a 7 type car can be lowered several inches. The engine is estimated to have a fully dressed weight of 140lbs and can produce 175 to 250 hp NA; and much more in turbo form.

Availability to be 1st quarter 2009. Check back for updates on the prototype build and specifications when they are released. (No pricing is available at this time, but it is design to be much more affordable and will be available as a kit) Email jhartleyjr@wi.rr.com with "H2 BUSA update" in the subject line and you will be notified when more information is available.

Update (11-14-08)... Billet case for the H2 Busa is just coming off the mill. Upper case weighs 5.6 kg. Lower "bedplate" caps weigh 5 kg.

If he has success I guess I could look into this mid next year, my Mates between them have aluminium billet plant, casting plant, CNC mills of all types and I can have billet cranks and rods made from scratch 40 minutes away.

Its a good idea, so why didn't I think of it! :-)

But it raises the question of which engine? Hmmmm.......

^ Maybe the Rolls Royce-Allison gas turbine engine they use in the Y2K bike? That would be pretty cool if you could just hook up a turbine engine to a car transmission. A turbine powered exocar...

I have no idea if it would work... but it sounds pretty cool

Any clue as to what that thing might cost?

Could be the ultimate light displacement engine package.

They have everything. Look under Turbo Chargers, then Suzuki, then Stage 6 Turbo kit. 700 bhp At the Wheels

Talk about too much.
