Hank Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Here in 2 hours I'll be putting my Megabusa on a Dynojet Chassis Dynamometer for the first time. 2006 Hayabusa 1300cc motor Pair valve & system removed Westfield long tube header Yoshimura muffler Any guesses on rear-wheel horsepower? Hell, I hope it has enough torque to turn the drum! Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) WestTexasS2K is the winner with HP and pierats with torque. http://www.hanksmegabusa.com/images/111409/01.gif This seems on par with a stock Hayabusa engine without a power commander or other mods. I'm definitely happy about that. Although I hit the revlimiter in 6th gear (11,500rpm) the dyno graph stops at 9900rpm for some reason. The maximum speed was 117mph. I thought a Megabusa would go to 136mph, but maybe I'm wrong. I sent a text message to the shop owner to see if the Dynojet tach pick-up is limited to 9900rpm or if something happened during the dyno run. I know I hit the limiter, so as soon as he gets back with me I'll let you all know. Edited November 14, 2009 by Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Pretty good, should make for a quick car considering how light the car probably is. It looks like you reached peak before 10,000rpm anyway so it shouldn't really matter seeing the last 1000rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Yeah, but I'd like to know my top speed to determine if I top out on certain tracks or not. Hopefully the dyno owner is mistaken about the 117. Unfortunately I was busy looking at every other gauge but the speedo during the pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTexasS2K Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 So is the grand prize for winning a ride around the block if we ever meet face to face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Sure, as long as I drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 So it makes almost no power below 4K? Pretty stout otherwise. About equal to the "200 hp" Zetecs on the dyno. 50 more hp than my Crossflow, 4 less torque. Also a pretty flat power curve as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 The Megabusa experiences a tad bit of surging in the lower rpm band so I chose to start the run at 4000rpm. The dyno operator was a little slow on reaction time hitting the "sample button". It makes power below 4500rpm, I just don't want to damage anything. Besides, in a drag race, sprint, autocross or lapping day adventure the Megabusa won't experience anything below 4500rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanG Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Nice. Certainly better than I expected. Bike engined 7s sound awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 So is the grand prize for winning a ride around the block if we ever meet face to face? I think the winner should get a ride to Hooters Wow, not bad. When people ask me how much hp I have in my 7 I usally say less than 100hp because I have a little 900CC motror. So around 97 would be in the ball park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest speedcraft Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 nice smooth power curve Hank....whats the wet weight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 I will be corner scaling the car this week *crosses fingers*. I hope under 1000 lb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest speedcraft Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 i put in for 1175# on the other thread but thats fully wet with a full tank of gas, reverser box removed but shift actuator included. btw - what wheels/tires did you end up with...i'm running 13" R888's but will switch over to the CR500s once i burn through what i got...the R888's are somewhat heavy and seem too stiff on the sidewall.

Alex Vendler Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 It looks like you have a bit of a tuning issue. It looks like you are not getting all your power. What kind of airbox are you running? If it's not stock, a power commander will really make a difference by optimizing the mixture. As a point of reference, I have a race car powered by a 2007 Honda CBR1000RR engine and it's getting 142hp at the rear wheels. Stock header, stock intake. Your 'Busa can do better I bet.

Hank Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Alex, Definitely more power on the table. I may get around to putting a power commander on eventually. How much should I expect to gain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
