The T42 turbo trike design.
Hi! This is my first post at this fine forum, and I hope you´ll understand my poor English!!
If you are interested in another homemade tricycle - Here´s my "T42 turbo"!!
It´s a trike based on a suzuki GSX-R 1000 -01 motorcycle that I have built a turbokit to.
The engine power is 280hp, and it weighs 400kg (360kg whithout body).. = 700hp/tone!!
Specifications:
Type of vehicle: Treewheeled motorcycle with body.
Engine: Suzuki GSX-R 1000 -01 TURBO.
Dimentions:
Total length: 410cm
Total width: 210cm
Wheelbase: 310cm
Hight: 105cm
Engine power: 280bhp, ~190nm.
Suspension:
Front: Öhlins shockabsorbers, Pushrod. RC: at 100mm. = 25% antiroll.
Rear: Rebuilt Suzuki absorber.
Turnradius: 13,7m
Steering: 1,9 turns (side-side)
Maximal lateral acc: 1,55G (before tipping over).
Passengers: 2
Performance: 25km/h - 200km/h= 9sek.(driver + passenger and wheelspin to 180km/h )
Topspeed: 300km/h.
Seats: TILLETT racing T250 seats.
Airodynamics: AirForce racing rear wing- Gives 186kg DF (down force) at 300km/h.
It´s VERY WIDE!!!
This is the frontbrake calippers- HISPEC : Ultralihgt 4 cortina lug. Only 900gram each!!
A couple of friends trying to get a feel how it would be to drive this "monster" .
This is the fueltank made in aluminium- Rather komplicated shape.
This is the 2:nd fueltank (under construktion) with the 2:nd fuelpump (suzuki orginal).
This is the aluminium airintake (plenum) with suzuki funnels inside.
Oilsump welded to privent oilstarvation when cornering.
The Airintake and the 2:nd fueltank in place. Note the upper fuelrail wired to the (MegaSquirt) supplimentary injektion system- add fuel at turbo
boost.
Here you can see the (IC) intercooler..
Oilcooler, right behind the passengers head- hot????
Wireing and fuel pipes.
The main fuelpump and filter.
Brakecalipper mounted om the custombuilt Ford scorpio 2,9 uppright and 280mm rotors.. No paint so far.
This is the PushRod front suspention. With very firm rebound, this öhlins shockabsorbers sutes this trike perfektly.
The wishbones geomety makes 25% antiroll, which means that I ride without a antirollbar, this trike doesn´t roll at all!!
The exhaust system made by polished stainless steel, with Lambda sond.
It´s a BOMZ racing silencer- JAPAN style Very nice sound!! Bling bling..
This is my bodyscetch.. Hope you likes it..
This is my fuelsystem, It works very well

Hey, welcome to the forum!
That looks like an awesome piece of kit you've got there, looks like you're well into the build as well, very impressive! Looking at your
avatar it looks as though you've taken it for a spin, got any videos to tempt us with? Would love to see 700bhp/ton in action!
Good luck with the rest of the build...

Edit: Ooh, hold on, just found the link to your video, if I can get it to load...

Very nice build Micke. Are you doing the aluminium welding yourself?? If so top job. Did you build a seven as well beforehand??
Cheers

Thanks!!!  The seven in the top picture is a friends.. I have helpt building another seven with a BMW M10 turbo engine (350hp)..
BUT, I have built several other projekt (like a Lancia A112 Abarth with a yamaha R1 engine... A Volvo PV 544 with a B234 16v twin-turbo engine
"400hp"..... aso.)
Sadly I´m not the alu whelder . Because I haven´t got a TIG. I made all the alu construktion, and then I taped it together so "Ludde"
could weld it... He´s Very good as you can see!!!
Your seven looks very nice too!!
Anything else you wondering about???

The video link wouldn't work for me either, so I right-clicked it and said Save Target As, and saved it to my hard drive

I've now watched the video. What a machine. Pretty scary stuff with all that power and so
little weight. That rear wheel seems to have a mind of its own. Have you had the thing around a track yet to work out how to lay the power down on the
road??
Cheers

The rear wheel "was" a MC-tyre. I tryed to make all sorts of turns, just to sens how it feels when cornering.
But the MC-tyre was to soft in the "side walls", so I got a nasty "snakey" slidy feel in speeds over 80km/h, even though I was
not slyding  .
And then theres the friktion problem !!! I will mount a 17" car tyre in the rear till the next summer .

yea, Without the front wheels, I get a airoplane feeling when I stand besides the nose.. I thing it´s gonna be very airodynamic.. What do you
think?

Ohh, thank you!!
Well, I have built this projekt in 1year and 3month so far.. it took 10month till testdrive (video at my signatur)..
Yea, money..... .. I sold my earlier (lancia A112 abarth R1) motorbike engined projekt, so I could afford the main parts to this projekt.

Hate bring this up...
I've wasted a workday thinking about this three wheeler. Looks increadibly fun. But how do these things handle on the road? This trike does 1.5
Gs! Does it tip over when the limit is exceded or does the rear wheel slide like a regular car?
This progect really sparked the curiosity.

Hi! Yes, in teory this design could handle 1,5Gs. Under my testrun I hadn´t changed to a car tyre in rear, so I couldn´t stress it in the corners
(I got a snakelike feel in the rear- without sliding bacause the biketyre have very soft sides.. ) And when the limit is exeded the threewheeler
would start to tip over. BUT, to reach so high G force I must have racingslicks. The friktion of a regular tyre is to small. And there is another
thing you must add to the cornering process=
All the weight transfer is on the right frontwheel (left turn)- who lowering the friktion (hope you understand). The rear wheel doesn´t take any
weight transfer when cornering- just the G force lateral. So if I should have 50/50 weight in the trike, it would get a larger rate of slipangle to
the front right tyre (left turn)- with makes the frontend to slide earlier (understeer), BUT I have two front wheels that helps to add friktion. In
theory a trike with 50/50 in weight, is rather neutral in cornering. But if we makes it "rear heavy", it would oversteer.
Mine T42 is "front heavy" 60/40 f/r. So if the theory is real- it would understeer if I stress it real hard - exacly as I want. Don´t
want a oversteering trike in 250km/h .
You can allways MAKE it oversteer- with 280hp under your right foot...
It´s rather fun to answer questions!! MORE!!

Thanks for all the kind words!!
I have sprayed the body plug with putty (filler) so I get a smother surface to work with. I use a Wall putty with water base. Very easy to form!!
There´s only one problem- I have to wait several hours before I can sand it.... If I use a 2K putty, the mold base plastic will melt... ..

Thats a fantastic machine Micke.
And exactly the sort of thing I've been tossing around in my head (and paper)
I have the remains of my GSX600 lying about and wanted to use it in a trike setup. So I'm now inspired to crack on with the project.
A scaled down and slightly less brutal version of your trike would be great.
Top job mate.
