Shaft drive.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

touring bike, FI and 145hp and 130(ish) torque developed around 8000 and 7000rpm respectively.
no idea what it revs to but it would be interesting fitting it in a right hand drive car due to it wanting to be where the steering column is.
(guess who looked up the web site!)

did a search on the engine name, found out it was a yamaha then went direct to the yamaha web site. Realised it wasn't a sports bike so looked
up touring sports ..... hey presto, bob's your uncle, fanny's your aunt and hey diggedy i got the details..........
although that is all there is, its very scarce, no idea of the red line but it does have a 5 speed box.

Did this thread have links to the drive unit? I'm sure someone posted a link but can't find it?

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Isn't the FJ the same engine as used in the Legends Racecars?

i thought the legends use an air cooled engine - which gave them problems with over heating if not careful due to enclosed body.
Seem to recally Dave Andrews (DVApower) mentioning something about special exhaust valves to help with the temperatures.
(as usual with my posts these days, this is a vague memory and should not be taken as correct)

Two engines? One in the back too perchance? AWD?
Just speculating ...

going back to the picture of the blue car, can they not get the engine any further back? Seems very far forward to me

does the engine not turn the wrong way?
Looks a very neat installation!
However...
I thought (as for the yamaha Vmax engine) shaft drive bike engines which have the shaft on the left hand side of the bike turned the wrong way for
most diffs?
Then the reason why BMW shaft drive engines can be used ok is that on the bike their shaft is on the right, so turns the correct way.
Does it run with the diff turned over?
Also - is there much power loss with the big bevel gear turning the drive 90degrees?

I hear you Adam. I went around this little
problem over a year ago and never came up
with an off-the-shelf solution. Running the
diff against the coast side is a big no-no.
Whine and the loads are forcing the gears
apart so wear on the bearings is extreme.
So ----- is the differential in the above car a
"special"? Or is it something that mere
mortals will find?
So c'mon those of you in the know! No more teasing!

MORE

MORE
I need more photos
I need more specs (diff, reverse,...)
Living in a LHD country I'm liking this...
Although I suspect that this engine, as being so young, won't be that cheap...

I'm resurecting an old thread.......
Anyone have anymore information on a Yamaha FJ engined car? I heard the legends cars use them with Toyota rear axles and custom ratios all the way
fronm 2.5 to 4.1.
I wonder what they are like in terms of reliability etc in a car????

Bump to top........
Anyone anymore info on this engine? Same torque as a busa. Shaft -drive on left side so suits us LHD folks. Does the shaft spin the wrong way for a
reg diff?
Thanks
Rob

Strong Engine. 150Hp and Certain years have a propensity to loud ticking from the valvetrain. Very loud ticking. Should you decide to use one of these
engines, you need to hear it running first to ensure that it does not have the "tick".
The shaft output has a primary reduction of 1.5630
The gearbox is sequential 5 speed with the following ratios
1st : 2.529
2nd : 1.773
3rd : 1.348
4th : 1.077
5th : .929 (overdrive)
When used with a tire dia of 23.25 inches and a final reduction (diff) of 2.9 you will see a top speed of 148Mph
Here is a website with more technical info:
