Busa Buggy

[MiniBuggy]

Are there any members on here who run these motors in off road applications? I am 100% sold on a Gen1 Hayabusa for my project.

I would greatly appreciate your input on which year(s) would maybe have a feature here or there that would be beneficial for a non motorcycle application. Also, where can a guy find an engine kit for a decent price. Sellers on eBay are very proud of what they've got. Is there a reputable company that parts bikes or would I be just as well to buy a good running bike, take what I need and part the rest out?

I will keep the post pure to Hayabusa questions and leave the offroad fabrication stuff out. So if you guys have any input I would be very grateful for any write ups or stickies you may be aware of!

Thank you much,

Cody D.

there are plenty of folks that use Hayabusa engines in sandrails and off road buggies.
a mostly stock Gen 1 engine puts out about 175hp. they can be supercharged and more commonly turbo charged up to 600hp.

most I see have a stage 2 turbo on it pumped up to about 300hp.

I would suggest you check insurance auctions and salvage yards for a good engine. then have someone like Powerhouse build it for you.

I say Gen 1 because....well, because, that's what all the turbo guys say.

good luck.

and start a build thread when you get going. 2-3- or 4 wheels, if it has a Hayabusa engine, WE LIKE IT!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I am finding lots of good stuff in the all motor threads so far.. Great forum!

I am located near Kansas City MO.

I will certainly get some pics up when these are a little further along! Just getting started on the two chassis and a few parts I've machined... Anxiously awaiting a good deal on a motor!

Thank you all for your replies

For a gen1 engine an 02 to 07 is the best bet.
The 99-01 have different ecu's. The 99-01 can have the ecu, rotor and a couple other parts swapped out to the 02-07.
The 02 to 07 ecu's can be flashed with Ecu Editor software, and make many changes/adjustments.
