Hi Everyone
I,ve Decided what the hell i,m changing my 919 fireblade for a haya busa engine, what kind of difference should i expect, massive difference on the
track or only a little, any comments
You would expect to be around 2 or 3 seconds a lap quicker with a busa fitted over a blade on most circuits.
sounds ok
I have been a passenger in one but its hard to tell the difference, i thought it would be like chalk and cheese. i hope its worth it:
Paul, outside a racing situation, is 3 seconds a lap a big diff.
We met at Bruntingthorpe last year, when I took my MK to the track for the fisrt time. Forgetting track times for a minute, is the difference between
the two set-ups on the road, that much of a diff. (or is it more in the mind).
I have had my car for nearly a year now, and I am already thinking, how can I get more power etc etc, but is it a case that is very much the law of
diminishing returns for inceases in power, from the butometer in the driving seat - one you get used to the overall driving experience of a BEC?
Slam a turbo on your blade engine to get the same power, if it goes bang its a £400 engine you swap out, not a 2.5k busa lump with possible damage to the dry sump kit etc if it lets go
The most noticeable difference is when you're driving two up, the power doesn't drop off quite so much. On a quarter mile sprint, one up,
there's probably only about a second difference in the times.
The Busa will have more bottom end power and slightly more mid range than the Blade, hence the 2 or 3 seconds per lap as Paul mentions.
IMO, for the additional power you'll get, the cost of fitting a Busa engine isn't worth it. (Unless you intend sticking a turbo on the Busa
some time in the future) There are however a few other engines available with similar power to the Busa for considerably less money.
Have a look at the later GSXR's, ZX10R or ZX12R

Paul, thanks for the reply. I have already got my eyes on working on the suspension, set up etc, but as you know upgradeitis is very easy to catch.
cheers
