MK Sportscars End Of Project Special - MK Indy RR Engine Swap Yamaha R1 to Hayabusa Turbo

[@davidblake1663]

I'm on an MK Sportscars video binge. Really good content! You guys clearly know what's what. A company run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts.

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

Thanks David, appreciate the comments

[@randymch]

I think I'm gonna have to make the trip down from North Yorkshire this year. As an ex-Westfield owner I've been wanting to get back into the whole 'Seven Style' kit car thing and I've been absolutely fixated on your videos. Its great to see such proactive publication of what's going on in the workshop. You don't see this from the likes of Caterham, Westfield or other smaller suppliers. Your energy and love of what you do comes across so well too.

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

That’s awesome to hear - thank you fir the kind words. You’re very welcome to come and see us and take a test drive out in one of our cars when this covid decides it’s going to disappear. We can do zoom calls to spec up your car if this helps? Neil

[@paulaspden5292]

Masterpiece of packaging. Really like how the cooling assembly has been done. Great work...

[@steverabbits]

Your work is amazing. Attitude towards getting things done also amazing, nothing seems impossible with you guys! I'm a Westfield owner but I also have an exoskeletal midengined car with a GSX-R1000 engine, I'd sell them both for one like this I think, must be a total animal on track!

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

Thanks for the feedback @steverabbits, that’s very kind of you. We do try and push the boundaries of what we can do. We’ve a clever workforce who are very keen to impress and can pretty much do anything. The last 12 months we’ve been focused on the factory builds. Q3 of 2022 we have some exciting builds coming up, Sean is desperate for another big BHP car so #watchthisspace

[@steverabbits]

@@MKSportscarsofficial excellent news!

[@paddymc6078]

Crazy how these cars are still being r and developed

[@steverabbits]

Sorry for all the questions but do you ever do work on Westfields? And do you have experience with 2.0 Zetec black tops which are turbocharged?

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

Yes we can do work on any 7 style car. We are just so busy ATM there will be a wait for us to get space.

[@steverabbits]

Out of interest has Phil got any KZbin videos of the car in action? Would love to see some

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

Will ask him…👍🏻

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

I’ll ask him. If you’re local to us, we might be doing an open day, we’ll try and get him along.

[@steverabbits]

@@MKSportscarsofficial I'm 11 miles east of Bristol. I think you're Essex way? I spent a lot of time in and around Romford back in the day when I was at college doing my Ford Motor Company apprenticeship. If you do an open day I'd definitely consider travelling! Maybe not in the Westie though 😂

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

@@steverabbits yes we are in Essex - About 20 mins from Stansted airport. Keep your eyes peeled regarding the open day…. It’s coming. Some big changes to come first 👍🏻

[@480bhpdotcom]

Good work Guys, i still remember that fateful day 15 years ago when both me and my younger brother took you both out for spin. Looks like you're doing really well, saw something on Pistonheads not long ago too, that must be a first for the brand! Let me know if you're ever up this neck of the woods again, it'd be good to catch up.

[@jphillips5576]

Fantastic build and attention to detail

[@dude770725]

how is the gearbox holding up with the additional power and the weight of the car?

[@michaelhall549]

Fantastic swap, amazing quality BUT! i would of had the exhaust pipe parallel with the body like the silencer is. I hate to see loads of pipe hanging out the car before it turns.. just my preference...

[@steverabbits]

I would guess that's been done for cooling reasons and to keep the pipe away from the bodywork for safety reasons and so it doesn't melt.

[@antonbarber6322]

Fantastic video again guys. Love these videos in depth report.

[@jamesbackwell6305]

great project, amazing work getting all that to fit! I'm in the process of a non-turbo hayabusa build so it would be great to see a similar video of the orange busa powered indy you did recently!

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

James Backwell - I will be doing that this week in preparation for collection this week. Just makes you realise how much is involved with this creation....

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

Did you see enough on next weeks video?

[@jamesbackwell6305]

@@MKSportscarsofficial it was amazing, thank you!

[@siu113]

May I ask you, How to use yamaha r1 engine with speed transmission gearbox in car? Please let me know

[@marchellier1033]

Absolute goals... ball park figure, how much would a factory build of something like this cost? Thinking of getting rid of my busa Indy to upgrade to something of this caliber

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

Marc Hellier - give me a call in the office today and we can have a chat. Neil - 0203 432 2679

OMG !!! That is so nice!

[@fredericoruan5381]

Como fica a ré do veículo 🤔 coloca legenda português Brasil

[@limitlessbuilds]

SBD says a oil cooler isn’t necessary, would you agree or do you think it’s a must for a turbo hayabusa build?

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

It’s going to run hot so an oil cooler is a no-brainer 👍🏻

[@limitlessbuilds]

MK Sportscars alright thanks. I’m building a Turbo Hayabusa for a Willys Jeep now and was still debating if I should run one.

[@steverabbits]

Definitely needed in a confined-space install like this I'd say

[@R.B_B]

What transmission is used?

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

It’s the gearbox from the bike. It’s a free sequential gearbox 👍🏻👍🏻

[@moviemenia9276]

How much does it cost to build it?

[@MKSportscarsofficial]

It really depends on the spec, this one was about 45k, but the base model starts at under £10k
