DirtBikeGuy Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Have been talking with Russ at BFD for a little while and decided to pull the trigger on a Revo. We are going to pull the turbo'd busa motor out of the old car and put it in this one. Just dyno'd the motor about 2 months ago at 290hp at the tires, so in a car that should come to about 11-1200 lbs it should get along ok. We decided on a chromoly chassis that we will finish out from a roller a little closer. Will have some more pics once it gets to a roller (BFD's shop is a 4 hour round trip from home, so dont get down there too often). Quote
White Rhino Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Wow!! Very cool congrats. It will be fun to watch it progress!! Quote
JoeDuner Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Wow, how much boost are you running to get 290 RWHP ? Quote
dunefreak Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Badass! That is going to look sharp and haul a$$. I'm curious like Joe. How are you getting 290 hp out of the Busa to the wheels? I'm assuming it's more than just a turbo right? Also curious if you are going to be running a reverse box. Quote
DirtBikeGuy Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Its definitely not a stocker with a turbo... Motor was built by Scott at Heads Up straight cut gears, upgraded crank, rods, pistons, larger injectors, it has a 2 stage boost controller so when your duning it runs about 14 lbs of boost and racing it runs at 19 lbs. @@dunefreak yes it will be running a jeffco box.

JoeDuner Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Very nice......are you running 110 race gas or e-85? Quote
dunefreak Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Oh ok. All you had to say was Scott @ Heads Up! He did some work for me a while back on my Busa when he was at the LV Speedway. He is the man when it comes to Busas. Quote
DirtBikeGuy Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Aren't these guys up in Ramona? Yes sir... From San Bernardino its a days trip to get down there and back home... Quote
DirtBikeGuy Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Very nice......are you running 110 race gas or e-85? With the bigger injectors we actually get away with running pump 91 Quote
DirtBikeGuy Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Oh ok. All you had to say was Scott @ Heads Up! He did some work for me a while back on my Busa when he was at the LV Speedway. He is the man when it comes to Busas. Ya now he is up in Utah and my brother is working for him so all of the "go fast" parts get put in Quote
bp-guy Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Yes sir... From San Bernardino its a days trip to get down there and back home... I am about 30 minutes from his shop. If you need anything let me know. Quote

DirtBikeGuy Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 Just picked up the car from BFD over the weekend. So far it looks awesome now to start the long process of tig welding all the joints and trying to figure out how to drop the busa motor in. Quote
DirtBikeGuy Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 nope. a rzr 1000 project came first. Need to have something to drive around in the mountains until October. I will post some new pictures once we get some things done. Quote
DirtBikeGuy Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 Just a little update... Chris at R3 Fabrication in Beaumont is putting in the work to get this done by Halloween. We are putting in a JAZ fuel cell, ordered up some Jet trim Seats from Gary A+ work I have to say. We are getting the motor and diff aligned and ran into a snag with the rear trailing arms. Sent them off to BFD in hopes to get something back soon and get the project back on track. Quote
