A Busa engine is a whole Planet 'better' engine in ALL respects.

A BDA will make close to the power output of a 2008 hayabusa but with more torque, and will be quicker in a locost.
That applies to a tuned hayabusa as well, we have seen 230bhp out of a hayabusa but only 120lb/ft tq very high up.
A BDA will make 180-200bhp with 160lb/ft from much lower rpm, therefore it's quicker in the car.

Doesn't quite work out like that in the real world though.

In fairness, assuming it was given as a slightly light heart comment, its largely factually correct to say that over time engines have been developed
and improved, and that the hiyabusa is a good example of a further developed engine. And that people tend not to recall the bad aspects when getting
nostalgic about stuff. That said, the posts from said user seem to be getting a bit repetitive!

Basic physics says that Power = Torque * Rpm, so with the right gearbox/axle ratio, more power is more power, and the torque and rpm figures all
cancel out.
The only caveat to that, is that the shape of the power curve is also very important in terms of acceleration and non-steady-state conditions, as
because there is a limit to the number of gears you have, and changing between them takes time, the wider the powerband the better the power you can
get out down onto the ground. Unless you some form of cvt or similar.

Its an awful lot of money for a xflow with a fancy head !
plus its a 691 block, so not as good as the 711
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

In case any of you comparing the BDA to a BUSA haven't noticed yet... Bare is a TROLL! He has nothing useful, helpfull, or good to say about
anything, ever.

That's a rather sweeping statement from a much vaunted tuner...

;-) can you tell i'm not a big fan of BEC, only driven one but i cause see the lack of low end power and the amount of revs required to pull off
normally would get annoying after a bit.
Personally i have never tuned a BDA, but my engine builder had built a few and tells me they are a very good engine even by modern standards - he
quoted a few power examples of engines he has done in the 1980s....
BDA 1500cc 150BHP
BDA 1600cc 180BHP
BDA 1700cc 215BHP
BDA 2000cc 280BHP on EFI
Sometimes power output numbers do not tell the whole story, the fastest locost i drove was a mildly tuned rover 3.9, not much more that 200BHP but
mega quick!
