The problem you have is you need a bike engine that could adapt to a rwd kinda gearbox instead of chain drive

yeah, keeping my original red interior.. trying to keep all original parts as I'm the second owner.

I had some spare trashed seats that I'm getting retrimmed to factory style..

 

Haha no idea how much a busa motor is, but I'm pretty sure there are kits to make them into v8's :) NOW that would be fun in a ke10

 

i believe they are called a V1V8

You can buy them v8 anyway :) there was a site I was looking at while back with inline 4 and v8 bike engines, they're tiny but powerful. $10k will get you a v8

$10K well spent! :evil:

That's my opinion as well! Long, long term goal for the green one

Do it!! please....

 

Ill never be able to afford it.. But would like to see it done.

... like I ever have money :(

we can all dream... its hard enough to get money just to give my daily a tidy up..

 

Building my 4age one is going to be slow... and i have most of the parts i need.

I remember seeing a clubman with a 1.5l v8 or similarly small. Maybe 1.8l

Use the bike gear box for the actual gear changing and run it through a k40 for the 1:1 4th gear.....and reverse!

There's a couple of busa powered starlets in nz with that setup.

i need a money tree..

I've seen a video of a starlet with a turbo busa engine using a 2 piece tailshalt adapted to the busa output shaft

busas do like 200km in like second gear!
