Building A Exo-busa Kit Car

[Franknbeans]

Hi all,

I'm getting things lined up to start building a Mevabusa kit car. It's a Exoskeleton car with a Hayabusa motor. Designed and built by a company in London there's only 2 in the US right now. One sold to me and another to a guy in AZ.

I already have a 2006 Hayabusa lined up for the donor. I paid $5,500 for it it only has 9,000 miles on it. The bike is completely stock at the moment.

I'm stopping by here to see what I should look out for. Are there any things I should watch out for with a 2006 Busa? Bearings, seals, etc?

I was thinking about adding a Power Comander to the motor, is this as simple as plug, play and forget?

Thanks for all the help. I'm sure I will be back here with a bunch more questions during the build process.

(Looking for a factory service manual. I need this to trace wires for the kit.)

As long as the bike was taken care of and serviced regularly there arent really any issues. You could do a PCV which is plug&play or tune through the ECU.

 

[Franknbeans]

I assume a PCV is a Power Comander Five... Correct?

Sorry, not into the bike lingo.

Yes, it's the newest power commander. It will still take some tuning by someone that knows what they're doing.

Cool! Looking forward to seeing this built.

Am I the only one that thinks that a big o turbo would look good in that car.

I thought about that too. But right now I already have $28,000 wrapped up in the kit.

I understand the money. I look forward to you keeping us updated on you progress. Good thing about turbo is that is always something that can be done at a later date.

 

[Franknbeans]

Will do. I'll keep on posting in this thread not to have to many on a bike forum about a bike-engineered-car.

Color scheme will mimic the old Gulf GT40.

Gold Frame, orange rims, and the Gulf Livery bodywork.

 

[Shifty41]

Sweet!

[Franknbeans]

Frame is done already.

I talked to the guy a dove racing a few years back about building one of these. He was very interested in hearing all about my turbo busa motor

Looks like you got a LOT of space back there. You should do the first TWIN turbo busa motor!!!

 

[Franknbeans]

Yeah, I plan on a turbo down the road. Will be loads of fun.

 

[Franknbeans]

Question guys... Is there a download for a 2006 Busa book? Like a Chiltons book? Need a wiring schematic of the whole bike.

 

[Franknbeans]

I found this page.
Suzuki GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa 2006 Service Manual | Service manuals for Suzuki GSX-R Motorcycles

But the actual link to down load must being eluding me.

Thanks boss!

I wish I had the space. I would love to get a hold of one of the factory five GTM kits!
