has anyone ever tried using any parts/concepts from a big suzuki bike engine, ie, hayabusa 1300 in their g13a, etc? before anyone states the obvious & tells me they are two totally different types of engines for two totally different applications blah blah, i get all of that but i thought it might be an interesting thought considering the hayabusa is close to same displacement & also can rev its guts out & put out TONNES of power, i suppose its just my curiousity but if anyone has any thoughts it would be good to hear them.

Lots of guys in the USA have GSXR 1000 motors in their zooks, including the 6 speed gearboxes.

Gives you a gear for every occasion.

i reckon a outboard motor would be interesting.
mine is 1600cc 100hp at low revs weighs fuck all and the power head
is about the size of a carton of beer, has all its electrics attached to the motor
and would just need the airbox adapted to fit a air filter.

what about reverse?

my old man was involved in a hill climb special that was powered by a large outboard engine of some sort, essentially an oversized gokart with gears & suspension & from what he use to say it was deadly fast & sometimes it wouldn't trigger the finish line light beam due to it being airborne over the finish line. 8O

ive always thought an outboard would be cool, hard work setting it up for cooling though

anything can be done it just depends on how much cash you are prepared to spend :wink:

hay 89_tintop is it a 4 stroke?

good point, if it was a 2stroke you would have to put it in an lj

Years ago it used to be quite common in the NT for 40HP Johnson outboard powerheads to replace LJ motors... I've personally never seen one though so I don't know about the cooling side of it but my father sold lots of Johnson/Evinrude motors to Zook owners when I was a young tacka.

there is a 2 stroke V6 at the dump here. :D would sound great with the right exhaust.
actually i reckon the exhaust would be the hardest thing to get right. :wink:

i would love to see a hayabusa & g13a engine next to each other, even if something could be done with the internals.............but i really dont think i would wanna go that fast in my zook, but its fun to ponder.........

150hp at 9500rpm isnt real tractable in a sierra :)

good when you only weight 250kg though

i hear ya, but like i said its fun to ponder stuff, cursed with an imagination i guess

I reckon if you google hard enough you could get headgasket dimensions of both, that could tell you a lot

somebody once figured you could fit a bmw bike head onto a mini block, so anything is possible with enough looking

You retain the sierra boxes as well.

Apparently there is a guy on Pirate who is designing a kit...

outboard would be hard to fit to a bell housing and to fit a clutch




to much work :/

[/needlessthreaddig]

Just depends on your imagination/skills I guess.

My dream is to have a 2 stroke outboard engine in my LJ.

I'm thinking something smaller like a Suzuki DT55, maybe something with 70-80HP though. It would have to be a 3 cyl.

IMO the hardest part would be fitting a car style flywheel and giving a spot for the spigot to go. That'd be solved by making a boss to bolt the the end of the crank, that'd give you some extra space for a bell housing adapter of sorts too. I don't have the tools to make that (yet) though. :(

I will do this one day, definite bucket list stuff.

I'm always on the lookout for a cheap/half dead DT55 outboard to experiment with...
