Just a thought that is completely pie in the sky type stuff...anyone ever attempted a hayabusa motor into a carry...or any other suzuki for that matter??

I was trawling the net and found a golf or two with a busa motor and a few go kart's with them..

There is one on youtube in a blue trayback. Might have been an R1 motor though. Either way it would be massive work to get it installed and engineered. Working out how to make a reverse gear would also be tricky!

pretty sure I've seen a video of a bedford rascal ute with some sort of bike engine in it (pretty sure it was a hayabusa). Can't seem seem to find it again though.. :(

Ok, heres a link to a thread on clubcappo about davidmotec's the one in Melbourne which if you read it has been partially hijacked by a guy in the UK Wayne2105 that is doing one as well.

Theres a couple of other conversions happening in cappo's as well.
A guy in the UK fitting a rotary.
A guy in Norway that has fitted some K6A "Artic cat" snowmobile motors.
and a few others.
Oh yeah Dave660's cappo in Sydney with an F6AT motor just got 144kw at the wheels on the dyno.

was hunting around seeing about the reverse gear problem and apparently - only runour so far - the guys with clubmans in the uk that run busa motors use an electric reverse gear with a compressor and belt type system...no pics or details as yet...but hoping to have some more info soon. the rascal with the kwaka motor looks crazy!

There is a mob over in the states that either make adapter plates to normal car gearboxes or a custom transmission. They are using the hyabusa motor as a 4 cyl in clubman's and various other cars.

Can't remember which but its the same guys who do make the hyabusa motor into a V8 as well.

The guy's name is John Hartley. I have been briefly chatting to him regarding the adaption of the busa motor to car gearbox. I'll post more info when it comes to hand.
