Pocket V8!

[BUSHWHACKER]

Take two Hayabusa engines and weld them together in a V configuration.
The result, a 400bhp 245ft/lbs 2.8 V8 that weighs less than a four cylinder engine!

drool, drool, drool, drool!!! would love to get me one of them i loved the hayabusa as a bike well minus all the glitz and unnecessary weight but i would have to put the busa engine in a trike these days my legs aren't very good at the present but maybe i'll be riding bikes again one day and who knows what will be available in a few months/years

Looking at the dimensions, that would fit in anything!

Better for small and light stuff though, no torque til you're revving its nuts off!

it would be nice in a caterham chassis that's been on a major diet beforehand so it weighs in like a pushbike

Or the CF bodied Westfield I saw at a hillclimb once...

Reminds me, I saw a supercharged Atom yesterday. Looked a bit of a handful, twitching around as he changed gear accelerating.

its quite amazing what can be done these days for the power to weight ratio, and i'm never surprised at whats acheived in a little garage with basic engineering skills and the machinery to put the ideas into fruition, the end result is pretty amazing and the sense of achievement is astounding, i don't have access to a lathe or miller anymore so i build what i can with what i've got the last one was a 1976 honda 750sohc which was toptubed seatrailed and then i ended up grafting a later honda cb900 f2c dohc engine in to the frame it was a three person job to get shoehorned in but it was worth it

lol
that reminds me,
I went to a car show yesterday.
There was a guy there with a barryfied BMW.
but, he had the funniest sticker I've ever seen on a car.
It was on the rear side window, in medium sized font and it said:

Faster that a smackheads giro.

I nearly spit my drink all over his car....

I saw a door decal stack on a 3 series beemer which had the usual 'Brembo - Oz Racing - K&N etc etc' an hidden in plain sight, the bottom one in a fancy typeface like the others said 'w*nker'

v8 busa,all thats needed now is a pair of nice little turbos to take care of the bottom end power,feed them into a nice big one for top end power.

Stick one in a motorised wheelchair! Be the envy of your friends!
Forget a little, they would let A LOT of wee out.

[dieselboy]

How did they make the crank? Is it a custom made crank? I can't picture how that would all go together in the bottom end.
