Hmmmm..... imagine the hayabusa v8, mid mounted in a KB10, like dattoman_1000, a close ratio 5spd box behind it. 360hp in a 600hp car. Perfect KB10 handeling, with perfect weight balance. What would be quicker than it?

It looks real neat, go the b10. Are you sponsered by a gardening company?

Hey Mark,

Thanks for that. Yes I am enjoying my coupe very much... Im driving my dad crazy with all my ideas for it. I was just wondering what your car weighs? Also what kind of cage does it have in it? Mine is alloy, yet has things like heaters and speakers.

How about you just take out the ones you have got, get on your computer and draw up the background in the right proportion in paint, ie: with 100kph where 60mph used to be, then glue it onto your exhisting guages. Its alot cheaper and you can get the style you are after.

I think they would be a 2.6 litre because hayabusa engines are 1300cc and it uses two. This thread needs to stop... its giving me too many ideas!

Imagine if you turboed it! It would be one mean KB10 with one of those. I wonder how hard it would be to get rid of the busa gearbox and engine and just connect it straight to the datto 4spd. I think some research will need to be conducted.

Yeah sorry about the 400kg thing, I got that off this site who owned a busa set up for the drags with a whole lota extra stuff on it that pumped out 500hp.

And if I were to do it the car would be about 600kg. (KB10)

From the research that I have done there are a few of ways of doing it.

1) You could put the engine in the back like the minis

2) You could use the inbuilt clutch and gearbox off the busa, mount it north/south and weld one side of a universal joint connecting to the drive shaft onto where the front sprocket usually is. The trouble with this is that you would have no reverse. The aussie racing cars have some kind of mechanism in the diff...

3) You could not use the gears and clutch off the busa engine, but instead mount the shaft straight into the normal car clutch/gearbox, giving you reverse.

Its probably crazy and will never happen, but it would be one sweet as car. I think I might stick to my a14

well surely its not as evil as a rotary?

Im sorry if it has been discussed before, but has anyone ever put a hayabusa engine into a datto?

The obvious problem would be that bikes have a built in gearbox and clutch and that they are chain driven. I know that harley trikes are drivesharft driven to a diff, and there is a mob in newcastle that does it. Perhaps you could not use the bikes clutch and gearbox, but attach the shaft strait to the datto clutch/gearbox.

The advantages are obvious. The engine would weigh less than an A series, and take up much less space in the engine bay. They produce 175 horsepower stock, and 141 Nm. The bikes weigh 400kg and a datto 650ish, with the benefit of alot more traction. Then there is the possibility of modifying the engine. People turbocharge these engines to make 220hp.

Any thoughts?

Hey Andy, yeah my bad, I forgot about that.

does this make you feel better boof?


my artwork looks a bit like the new chrysler I think
