Busa engine trouble?

[Gene]

Too bad Eddy could not make the electric shifter work.

Do you still have the electric shifter? How was it acuated? Is it still connected?

Your car has an unusual roll cage design that other's have commented about in other forums. Also the rear suspension seems to have quite a bit of CV angle as it sits.

If it does not lower with some weight in the car be attentive for clicking from the rear. That will indicate CV problems and the need for grease.

I know from experience and my car is undergoing major surgery.

Congrats and nice looking car!

Look a little closer at the axles... my money is on U-Joints...

I agree that it's a nice looking car... can't wait to drive mine.

The reason the first owner(Eddy) sold it is because he was a paraplegic and he put a Pilot steering wheel in it so he could drive it but the electric shifter was giving him too much trouble and he had to go back to a sled motor (Drakart).

Talked to Brian many uh time on the telle. He's a cool guy and loves the Kawai powerplants. He's coming down to Little Sahara Ok. at the first of June and I look forward to hanging out with him that weekend. Were gonna have some fun jumping back and forth between rails altho I will prob. have to pry him outta mine after he sees what she can do :mrgreen:

He should have went with the airshifter. There are other ways as well, I designed a setup for a guy in a wheelchair quite a few months ago....

Yoshi,
Tell us the advantages of one over the other. Please include an opinion about weight, recharging etc. How hard is the setup of one vs the other?
Thanks,
Gene

I like the airshifter as I have been around many uh streetbike that have them with not one problem. My one buddy drilled and tapped his swingarm on his ZX9R and used it as the storage tank for the air. He had an onboard compressor that worked great. I would prob. run a nitro bottle along with an electric pump so you have a backup. A nitro tank as big as the one I run for my bags would prob. last you a long arse time before needing refilled. The electric compressor would be in a bag as a backup in my rail if I ran outta nitro but I don't think that would ever happen. The nitro bottle is gonna be a little heavier but you still need a storage container for an onboard compressor anyway unless you got creative and ran some tubes in your frame that were not structural but air tanks that looked like it was part of the frame.


you can also run the shifter as a forward backward movement on a lever with the clutch on the grip. The brakes could be a lever on a motorcycle style handlebar setup with a twist throttle. There are a few ways to keep it all manual as well.....

The car was put back to stock before it went up for sale. I don't know anything about the electric shifter.

As far as the frame goes it is different for everyone elses which I like, but I'm not sure why it is the way it is. I will ask Brian about that.

The rail has alot of angle on the axles and it does'nt really lower when you sit in it(525psi rear),but it lowers when you drive it. They are also U-joints not CV's which give you more angle.

Do you think my engine problems could be from a bad atmospheric pressure sensor?

Has anyone ever had a problem with this sensor and how do I test it?

[Glamisman]

I have been told that there are little filter screens at the injectors. You should have a fuel filter before the fuel pump and another (finer) filter after the pump.

What year motor?

Any codes at all?

Is there a power commander installed?

Are you using the stock busa fuel pump?

[pilotjunkie]

The motor is an 04' (I think) only 2,553 miles

It's not running any codes (-C00)

It has the stock fuel pump

It has a Power Commander III installed.
