1000 BHP Busa Engine.

£5,220.00 I'll take 2!
Now what to put it in? Hmm.

Think you need to go and price that up again...

Oh that was only for the turbo parts i guess.
I'll just have 1 then. Still... 1 should be plenty for a tesco shopping trolley.

I wonder how long between rebuilds for 1000hp when in a Radical SR8 chassis?

[MonkeyKnuckle]

Can I bolt it onto a CG125 without it exploding?

Thats not the parts for 1, thats some of the upgrade bits for the built V8. The engine itself is awesome though. For many years i've wondered why some manufacturers, hell why not suzuki? hasn't made a bottom end for 2 busa engines to make a V8. As engines go it will be light weight and very powerful for it's size. I can imagine the clutch being beefed up and a twat to use. Gearing would have to be very short to reduce stress at low speed, but in basic form it could be very reliable.

I suspect that 1000bhp one will last less time than a 500bhp busa engine due to more moving parts. Maybe a few days?

88kg?

A standard 'busa engine is 77kg according to my bathroom scales. Perhaps I'm not just 14 stone after all

A standard busa engine has a clutch, gears and probably includes the weight of various other bits and pieces.

I heard radical wanted to build a busa V8 to 'Give something back to the busa that has given rise to so much of radicals success' But last i heard they had given up.

If i had the cash i'd build something similar out of 2 CBR250 engines and make a 500cc V8

Never gonna fucking happen though

[Pete.]

[G]

Yea, but suspect all the same applies to the small block chevvy too, so a fairly reasonable comparison.

[Pete.]

I expect the chevy lump would be more substantial all around. Time will tell on how the cases hold up for that V-8 'busa engine.

It's not really recognisable anymore, it's more like siamese twins, joined at the block!

Long wondered why Triumph haven't put together a V6 1350cc yet.

That'd be blistering.

One of the banks of cylinders has the camshafts running in reverse. Looks like they have used a normal aftermarket manual tensioner to tension the reverse-running side so the load which is normally pulled almost dead straight between the crank and cam is now running an arced path on what is usually the 'loose' side tensioner blade. That should make timing the cams interesting as changing the blade tension will potentially affect cam timing. Also puts extra load on the tensioner blade itself.

Hi

Maybe, but suspect a lot more people could manage to lift a bike based on 2 675 engines off the side stand, while a pair of Rocket 3 engines would probably mean too many owners needing help (or surgery).

All the best
