My bike's powerplant.

[Pete.]

Sorry for the grainy pics I haven't got to grips with the new camera and it was late. Here's my 'busa engine ready to go in the bike. All of the work is my own design & build-up (except the actual welding).

Turbo unit is a GT30R (hi-jacked on the way to a Skyline) and the big shiny box on top is 6-core laminova watercooled intercooler I made. The intercooler is a one-of and there's only one other bike with those type of cores fitted that I know of and it only uses two cores.

That is awesome.

What are your expected figures ?

[Pete.]

I'll let you know next week when it's been on the dyno. Should make 500hp.

As McGee said, that is awesome.

Superb

[The Artist]

I want one

[Thom]

I don't care how quick it goes.*
I don't care how much it puts out.*
I don't care what it looks like.*

But fuck me that 'exhaust' is inspirational! Screw swine flu, THAT will be the apocolypse.





* I do actually, im well interested in the engineering behind customised bikes but it wouldnt of had the same ring to it

HOLY SHIT BATMAN

[proximity]

I take it you have a seperate radiator for the charge cooler on the bike? Or is it for drag runs and you just use a tank or something?

If it don't blow up on the dyno it'll be out next weekend Paul.

I am going to do a more thorough thread on it on UKB where the membership will have more interest in the finer detail. Right now I'm concentrating on getting the thing fit to run.

Those welds look sexual

[proximity]

Was looking at making a similar setup for my car with an electric caravan pump, i guess you probably bought a decent pump.

Took me a while to figure out how the flow goes through your cooler. Looks like a good design, loads of surface area, maybe too much? The fins look very closely packed, is there enough gaps to allow low pressure drop?

Why do the tubes have an inner core and an outer one with loads of square holes? Which one is the water flowing in?


Looking good

The guy who welded the round welds is very talented. He welded the 1mm-wall-thickness pure aluminium cores to 6mm aluminium alloy plate. I got an email from the Laminova R&D guy who said it would be 'very, very difficult' so I gave him some off-cuts to practice with.

The outer-case welds are not so tidy and were done be someone else as this guy wasn't available.

Dear sweet holy feck, you're officially my hero.
I'd love to do something like that, but unfortunately lack the time and expertise. Working on the expertise bit, though. Slowly.

I wish there was a 'this is 100% of awesome' karma button...

my only contribution is goddamn that is sweet as hell!

Good luck with the dyno & taking it down the strip! Bet it will SOAR.

Nice project.

Engineering at it's finest. Fucking beautiful dude

Make sure you post up the obligatory pics and vids of the dyno run and of course a copy of the print out just so we know you're not lying

that is phenominal (sp)
500hp through 1 wheel, what will it do speed wise.?????

Thanks for the support guys - there's a lot of money in this for me if it goes bang on the dyno - pistons & rods are about £1200 alone.
