Posted by: @ajiman I have an additional question. Is the temperature sensor on the left side of the block an OEM hayabusa sensor? Or is it something different? Thinking about replacing as the reading...

@ajiman That additional spacer is just for housing the additional temperature sensor. This was used on earlier cars for the dash, so if you are not using the whole block can be removed. The thermostat...

Thanks Charley, @DJW feel free to PM or call if I can help out at all. There are a number of small mods that are done to the standard engine to ensure reliability in the car and most of them are not t...

@gwt561324 They fit right in 😛 Unlike the 1720cc that needs a couple of mods!

Just thought you might enjoy a video of our latest 1596cc Hayabusa engine on the engine dyno putting out 280hp at the output shaft! Attachment : 9475f8a0-6ee6-4980-998c-a5235bf2e5d1.MP4 ...

As @Rjbender says your car will not have a low fuel level light, that will be low fuel pressure. This is consistent with the fact that you cannot hear the pump prime when you turn the power on. Is it ...

As Charlie said, my first thought would be that you have a stuck float bowl so the carbs are constantly filing with fuel. It could be a bit of dirt/debris stuck on the float seal. I think (but don't h...

@raider89 That is interesting. I know the factory and the dealers know what they are doing but personally I would not recommend this. The scavenge frame/screen that you mentions locates in a cut out ...

@bob Lots of useful info there from RJ but do keep in mind, providing it has not been changed, your car will be on an early DTA or ignition only MBE. As I believe you are on a after market management ...

@dwang2000 As Rjbender says it is. Don't over tighten it when refitting and consider a new crush washer (Its OEM Suzuki).

Hi Bob, If you are running a dry sump engine then there is more changes that you need to do other than just fitting a thermostat - you will need to fit the bleed so that hot water is still circulating...

@garagenwerke Do you already have a connector labelled for air temp? If not then this connector could be for that. Is the extra water temp wire you have just a single wire with a spade connector on? ...

@garagenwerke I would recommend using a Gen 2 clutch basket as it is much stronger. Heavy duty clutch springs are a must due to the weight of the car, you should be able to find them anywhere that se...

@garagenwerke As I said above: 'Assuming that you are on 12V start you may struggle for oil pressure when cranking - wet sump and 12V start doesn't go together to well for this. You will most likely ...

Hi @garagenwerke, Welcome to the forum! Good to see you going through an older car and keeping it fresh. Does look like a Gen 1 engine on a wet sump. Assuming that you are on 12V start you may struggl...
