Hayabusa: NA or Turbo

[1993KA24DET]

Plan is to build something like a Rage Buggy and my Question is should i build the engine with a Turbo kit (i would have to do it after coming back from Afghanistan). Or should I go NA with cams, full titanuim exhaust, etc.... 80% road use, 20% offroad

Turbos are fun!

OK I just looked at the power on the
1999-2007 Hayabusa..........173hp
2005-2006 GSXR 1000........178hp
2007-2008 GSXR 1000........185hp
it looks like it just isnt worth the money and GSXR has a lot more parts avalible

But what about the torque?

Id be intrested in seeing where you got those number from. The 1000 numbers seem a bit inflated.

i got it from suzukicycles.org and wiki the torq is
1999-2007 Hayabusa.........138nm
2005-2006 GSXR 1000.......121nm
2007-2008 GSXR 1000.......136nm
i just got those numbers over seas web site im not going to convert but that will give you an idea

prices jump alot to go to 2008 and up Hayabusa engines just for a little more power
2008-present Hayabusa 197 HP, 138.7 NM

Torque Conversion

I have a hayabusa rail and there isn't a single 1000 that has ever touched it. Granted mine is turboed, but it is insane on what kind of power it makes. We are currently dialed down to 400hp, but the motor and turbo system is capable of 600.

One thing that you can do with a busa that you can't with a lot of other motors is build them to be bulletproof. Forged rods, case/head studs, billet transmissions, etc. allow you to build a motor that can handle just about anything you can put to it.
