Rather than spend up now on what i would consider to be the basic Busa mods, would be to save up and get a turbo fitted. �In Australian Motor Cycle News magazine they had a 205RWHP busa which had almost $5000US of mods done. �This is more costly than a turbo.
At the superbikes they had a 280RWHP turbobusa on show and i've even heard of busa's that have over 350RWHP. �
I'm not a freak or anything (250HP would be heaps) but HP per dollar turbos wins hands down.
Viking | First, you need to know, that having a turbo on a Hayabusa isn't simply a matter of bolting on parts. The Hayabusa has a static compression ratio of 11:1 which doesn't allow for much boost because of detonation problems. So to effectively increase the horsepower output, you realistically have to change the compression ratio. This means a motor breakdown of one sort or another. There are many ways to reduce the ratio, some more costly than others. So most people opt. to have the work done. And this usually runs around $10,000 including the cost of the kit.
