Hi guys and gals,hi my names Fabo and I'm from Australia...
I'd like to ask some questions bout some engines,zx14,R1,cbr1000rr etc..
Now long story short I have raced a 64 beetle for a few yaers in hillclimbs and super sprints then crashed it then just finished building another on and on my third track tuning day threw a leg out of bed so now my dak dak engines dead.and to tell you I have been Lovings BEC's is a understatement.so I'm very likely going to motor bike power my new car,mid mount like the z car minis etc.BTW hope you don't mind me posting on a locost forum!!!
So I've been considering the busa,zx14 motors in NA form or the R1,cbr1000rr in turbo.
Now everyone likes the busa,but they are exy and a lot of people say dry sump etc which is another $3000 on top.so poop to that...
Zx14 engine for my 700kg car?? I have read it doesn't need a dry sump setup etc.sounds good to me as far as $$ go's...
Or DIY turbo a R1 or cbr1000rr ,nothing outrages just a mild amount of boost to help with the less HP and torque of the smaller motor.these engines are a lot cheaper and I think if it goes bang its cheaper to replace then the busa etc.....
So feel free to give me some good advise..
Thanks..
Below is a quick video of my old beetle...
