DirtBikeGuy Posted May 12, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeDuner Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Wow, how much boost are you running to get 290 RWHP ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted May 13, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtBikeGuy Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share 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.

dunefreak Posted May 13, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtBikeGuy Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share 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.

DirtBikeGuy Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
