General Punto With Hayabusa Power ....

[xFaz]

Unbelievable... ! More pics!!!!! The whole thing as it looks now!

 

[Mr Wild]

The Hayabusa weight is 250kg, if your shell is 640kg without the engine, I don't think it's going to give the police much trouble. Consider adding 100kg for your engine, 40kg for your fuel, much less aerodynamic than a bike. I'm wondering how your gearbox and sprockets are going to tolerate those kind of stresses.

Interesting though.

 

[DaveMcT]

He's junking the bike but even 1000Kg and 180bhp (with the standard engine) will be PDQ but he says he's going to turbo it.

The bike gearbox output shaft is the weak point. It will almost certainly need a special shaft with outboard bearing to better support the engine sprocket. Bikes cant use all the power from standstill, so the standard gearbox copes ok.

Atom (I believe it is) offer a Hayabusa based V8. Special crank and block with 'Busa internals barrels and heads. I'd hate to think about the fuel consumption.

I would like to see a blown 2 stroke radial in a car (or bike). One row of 4 has 4 firing strokes pre rev. Two rows has 8 bangs per rev. They dont use the crankcase for air & fuel so there is none of the popping and stuttering of "normal" strokers. And there is no vibration. Mechanically its fully balanced and its firing two or four times more often than a normal 4 pot 4 stroke so virtually no torque pulses either.

the full car weighs 640kg with petrol 1 gallon .... and thats its total weight ...

with 180 bhp ...... power to weight is scary ......

made every thing light ...... even have poo to shed a few more pounds ...

 

[jip0]

what kind of things are you going to do to the handling to be able to use the power?

 

[DaveMcT]

the engine in where the back seat was and drives the back wheels so should be fine under power. Everything else is up-front so its probably about 50-50 weight distribution.

i cant find it now but a little while back there was a youtube video posted of a cinq that was powered by a yamaha r1 i think it was and all it done when he put his foot down was spin its back wheels and skid all over the place so i was just wondering how puntosales was gonna overcome this problem

 

[DaveMcT]

If you floor any powerful car (or bike) it will simply spin up, but slightly less so if its rear drive. Sticky tyres and a light foot are the only way.

Bike engine are less bad because they have no low down power. The R1 probably wont pull at all below 5000 rpm then at 10,000 all hell breaks loose. Redline is around 14.

nevermind

As WhiteSei says... you have to drive it differently.

4 cylinder Bike engines dont need much torque, no weight in a bike really so get the motor up the rev range.

Exceptions are the V twins which for a bike engine, have plenty torque.

 

[DaveMcT]

Keep the revs between "fluffy rattly about to die" and the "OMG this IS quick" and its all quite docile. They are not like the old race 2 strokes that packed everything between 8000 & 9000 revs. Not as much fun either

There was a 1950's style kit car that used a sports bike engine with a special 2 speed transaxle. High ratio was handy to keep it docile. Low gear was for full on power & let it rev.

But its not Punto so it wasnt me who put this here - honest

 

[puntosales]

to get the power down ... is all in the suspension settings ... harder at the rear ... tyre presures set right ... and well learn to adjust the way ya drive ...

get a rear wheel drive car .. M3 ... or cosworth .... all will spin the wheels ... sticky tyres and a different driving style .... but front wheel drive will spin up and give you an all over the road drive ... so slow and learn what and when ...........

FRONT BUMPER ... NOW WITH FRONT BRAKE DUCTS ...

more air to the front brakes .... dont need driving lamps .... get rid and dont need a switch .(so no lighty make lighter ) paddy mcgunipig is right ... :idea:

looks the dogs now with bumper ........

 

[puntosales]

took o/s n/s lower bumper vent ...... removed some plastic from rear of driving lamp hole and trumpet fitted flush .... then sikaflexed into place ... down to both sides ... and left over night to let set ......

PHOTOS OF TRUMPETS IN PLACE ..........

 

[puntosales]

HERE WE HAVE THE BUMPER FITTED WITH ALL NEW BOLTS AND CLIPS

AND WITH THE TRUMPETS IN PLACE .....

TOMORROW WE WILL FIT THE BRAKE DUCTS INTO THE PLASTIC UNDERGUARDS .... (yes sikoflex again ) then conect them with ducting hose 52mm

 

[SamuraiDragon]

she is coming along nicely.... how long before u think she will be completed?

 

[puntosales]

thats all for today .......... fitting air ducts next to calipers .... and then getting the super smart bonnet on ... with active sport grill .....

anyone seen a carbon bonnet badge ... may use one

next ..... put wheels on and then for the interior and paint the cage and floor .... (inside ) and have pedals cleaned and polished .. got to remove ... seats dash wiring ... fuse box .... fire extigusher ... polish all alloy parts ....

 

[puntosales]

she is coming along nicely.... how long before u think she will be completed?

got to keep doing a bit ... no rush .. got to keep up the build finish ...
got other cars to be built and tested .......

and always tired lately .... but red bull and the car will have wings ....

 

[puntosales]

i still got hang of it

WOW 17000 thousand LOOKERS .... just wait till we have finished photos ...

try and get sound video on when we first started the BEAST ........

 

[ycming]

First time i seen this!!! But that is a monster!!

Looking forwards to some videos!

This gonna be an everyday car or a track beast only ?
