WestTexasS2K Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 OK you BEC guys I want to pick your brains a bit. Who is running a Busa engine? Are you still running the Fuel injection or carbs? How difficult is it to wire the fuel injection and coils is there a source that has a wiring diagram? I would like to build a BEC locost to go along with my Ultralite. But instead of going with a seven type vehicle I want to build something more like this http://www.twintechcars.com/ They have a good idea but use a horrible harley engine and then put an expensive VW based transmission that is heavy and big. If you were to use a sport bike engine in the front with a driveshaft to subaru IRS would be much smaller lighter and twice the power. I think that car could be done at 900 lbs. I think this could be a very fun car to build and would have a little more interior room due to the egg shape of the chassis. What do you guys think?
BusaLoco Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Who is running a Busa engine? . I am. Are you still running the Fuel injection or carbs? . Still running the fuel injection. BTW Why would I run carbs? How difficult is it to wire the fuel injection and coils? . Just use the Bike loom. Is there a source that has a wiring diagram? . Buy the Busa Bible (Hayabusa Manual) ... It has complete wiring diagrams. Good luck on your build! PS your car should be well under 900 lbs. The Busa engine weighs just 178lbs and a complete (Deman) Busa 7 can weigh as little as 985 lbs!
WestTexasS2K Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 I would prefer to keep the FI. But some of the earlier motors had carbs, wasnt sure what year model you had. I will search ebay for a manual.
BusaLoco Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I've got good news for you. The Busa only came with FI. ... The Busa Bible sais so. BTW you might like to research the T-REX. It's Kawa powered but would make a really good "trike" platform to copy! Promo Vids
locost7018 Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Also look at the Malone Skunk in Briton. That's a neat trike. Russ

slngsht Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 :rofl: Busa someone else will have to run those forums... If I mention ANOTHER 2 seater, I think my wife will flip. :lol:
Jon W. Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Who would be crazy enough to try to build an Ariel Atom clone? http://usera.imagecave.com/jawinter/2007-06-17-20.jpg
WestTexasS2K Posted June 18, 2007 Author Posted June 18, 2007 someone in the PA. area I'm guessing! That guy must know someone with a tubing roller. I have been looking for that same someone!
Jon W. Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 I'm into Locost cars and construction thereof. I built my own roll tubing bender for about $130. Eastwood sells one for $995. You can get a nice powered one for about $8k. See photos of it in action on: http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1503&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=45
