Does anyone have any good sites to read up on this sort of thing?

Seen one ripping round Oulton park, twin Hyabussa engines...OMG

In a catterham type car.

But where to find info, I dont know.

Isn't that a Tiger? (As in motorsport, not big cat;))

Tiger have stopped the kit option, which is a bit of a shame as it is half the price of the turn key option:(

Single engined has to be the way to go. A single Hayabusa turbo engine will weight less than a twin Hayabusa engines. Low weight is the whole point of these cars!

Someone on here had one of those twin engined Westies. Can't remember who though...

UB:D

jlanng, good point. I hadn't thought of that despite having a vid of a blown busa on my pc.
Does anyone have and figures on a blown busa engine? It's gotta be round the 200bhp mark? The Westies only way 440kG 8) that's 454bhp per tonne!

This makes interesting reading

Chr1st on a bike! (turbo bike of course)

:D

i think they stoped doing the tiger as they couldnt stop them blowing up.

you have to be carefull of engine life on over tuned bike engines as it can be measured in hours not miles >.< sometimes

ultra light weight cars with uber power become very hard to control and hard to make use of power, thats why the westfield XTR2 (from 20 grand i believe) and the RADICAL SR3 (cheap for how fast it is) are such bargins, as they can use the power so devistatingly

I'm now thinking along the line of a Westie type thing with a single turboed Busa engine in it.

Thoughts?

The XTR2 has to be seen to be believed, if you after a car with massive perfomance and driver involvement its very hard to beat (apart from by the insane SR3 which is almost twice as much, laps as fast as a F3000 car aparantly)

i have seen the westie comfortably lap £100,000 ferrari and porsche even in near race spec, now one with a turbo bussa engine drool drool
