Why I asked, was I have a GSXR1300 Hayabusa engine sitting on the floor
waiting to go into mine. I have a new crank case being made to remove the
gearbox, to run a belt re-drive, I intend to de-rate mine by rev limiting it
to about 7000 rpm which is max torque. The guy making the new bits tells me
the dressed engine ready to run come in at 140 lbs, that's with 65amp
alternator, 4 stage vacuum scavenge pump for the sump, starter, flywheel and
wiring loom.
If you have any photos I would love to see them
Regards
craig

Has anyone given consideration to Eggenfellner's Viking-Honda engine. He has a
lengthy track record converting Suberus to aircraft use. He is already shipping
engines and says they will be offered in Aircraft Spruce catalog. The weight
sounds good and aftermarket turbos for the Honda are <3K.

Go for it Craig! Don't let any of the doomsayers on this list talk you out
of it. This will be awesome. The modern
motorcycle engines are bulletproof. I run the Sube EA81 engine in my bird
and have been totally happy with it and
has been totally reliable at least after I got the cooling system to work!
Your'e going to have 10 times the fun with
your project than all the other plug and play types. Please post your prog

I think glenn may be using the gearbox, I will be using a belt redrive
on the hayabusa engine. Depending on prop size
The reduction needs to be about 1.8 to 1 to give me the correct speed of
engine to prop for max torque.
Yes as far as the engine goes, I like several points over the rotax or
jab. One is the intake system
4x 52mm intakes as opposed to 2x 32mm for the carbs. Two fuel injectors
per cylinder. Titanuim valve train with 4 valves per cylinder. Ceramic
coated cylinders. 4 stage vacuum scavenge pump for the oil. I intend to
limit the 190hp down to about 100 for the initial testing phase so it
wont be too much engine. I=99ll adjust it then up to about 125hp,
The same as the jab 6. The dressed weight ready to run is looking like
about 140lbs at this stage.

Graham,
In my case, my RAM Sube comes w/ an Autoflight, NZ helical gear
PSRU...I opted for a 1.9 ratio since my engine has separate air
intakes for each cyl. and puts out 140 hp; see:
http://www.ramengines.com/id5.html
for hp/torque "curves", see:

Graham - I got rid of the NSI drive long ago as I needed more vertical spac
e under the engine for a proper Kuchemann-Weber cooling duct under the engi
ne. The Marcotte M150 drive made in Canada allowed this as it only has a 1
.25" offset between the crankshaft and prop hub.
Fred has solved this problem by going to dual sidemount rads modeled after
Alex Bowmans Honda VTEC install - very nice!

opted for a 1.9 ratio since my engine has separate air intakes for each
cyl. and puts out 140 hp; see:
