That busa is ace. You'd pull up next to it at the lights and not have a clue!  |

Not often I find anyone who wants to play and not much point with most bikes. Had fun annihilating a Ferrari F50 last summer, that was amusing  |

I normally run it on the road at 300 brake which it happily runs at on Optimax or Ultimate. It will max out at about 400 brake but for that you need race gas which is a bit of a pain in the butt for road use. The swing arm is standard length so 300 is plenty for road use
MPG? ferk knows, better than a stock busa if you ride it slow (uh huh) but it probably drops of quite drastically on high boost...  |

What boost are you running?
Also, did you build it yourself?
I'm probably going to do something like this over next winter, once I've sold the car, can you give me a bit of info on the bike, ie: what ecu you use, who mapped it, injectors, who made the manifold, turbo model, what your compression is now etc....
Very interested! Also, where abouts you from, would love to see one in the flesh!  |

Dave: Hows the repair job going? Are you off to Elvington this weekend?

Many people run intercoolers or charge coolers, the MC Express intercooler is slotted to clear the tyre but it's always tight. For an outright drag application you can rake the front end out, but not so good for everyday use.
The water injection set-up is a purpose-built Aquamist Hayabusa system, uses a combination of pressure switches, relays and sensors to inject water at certain boost levels and quantities. Below's a pic of the flow control gauge that's recessed into my dash.
Stock injectors controlled as usual by the stock ECU which has been re-mapped for the lower compression.
About £15k so far for engine/turbo/performance + £3k ish for other stuff + the cost of the bike
Welcome to see it if you like

nice legs
yes he built it himself, at the same time as helping two others to build their own
then he blew it up racing it on the wrong fuel
then he rebuilt it himself and remapped it himself
he is a smartarse - look at the airfilter configuration, that required reengineering the whole radiator setup - and the boost gauge in the top of the dash - does that still convert to a air fuel meter on a switch Mike or did I get that wrong
the bike is almost certainly unique and probably the best looking turbo busa in the world
if the words "best looking" and "busa" can be used in the same sentence
yes Dave I'll be at Elvington at the weekend - someone else is loaning me another 12r to have a go at  ____________________ 187.3bhp = 201mph |

I want to see that once you get that 172 running, I want to do a 172 project, but I don't have the time and money at the moment.
As for the Busa,
Stunning bike and I bet it pulls quite good as well
