Can I Finally get Yammie Noob's Turbo Hayabusa Running?

Today is going to be everybody's favorite day, it is BUSA day and we have a big surprise for you. The engine's back in the BUSA and we're going to hopefully get this thing to fire up today and not make pieces. Now it took a little bit for us to get here so we've been getting comments saying that I should fix Yemi Noob's turbocharged Hayabusa. Apparently the motor nuked itself because well it's a turbocharged Hayabusa and we're going to try to crank it over and see what works. That doesn't sound good in there. I wonder why everything's unhooked. It doesn't crank so we think the motor's locked up. There's a bunch of oil around there. These are all pretty dry. See how the face of that valve is sitting sideways. Next step will be pulling the motor. Oh look there's no spark plugs in the holes. Well no wonder it didn't run there was no spark plugs. It just gets better and better. Jigsaw bra done jigs its last bra. Dan is that the first turbo BUSA motor you ever pulled? Yeah I think that's safe to say. Okay me too. Here we got. I believe there was probably a misshift or something like that. Floated a valve. The valve was traveling south. It hung up a little bit. The pistons traveling north and they hit. I believe it was just chaos from there. Now we're going to take this bottom end apart and then we have the turbo. We got to get that turbo apart as well. That feels good and looks good too. I think this turbo is fine. What things happened in a row? Well I ordered the wrong head and then I knocked the clutch basket off the table and I broke that. Heavier valve springs, different cams, some more fun stuff. We are ready to about put this motor back together. You got it. All right so I believe we about have everything ready to go back into the bike. I threw the clutch cover on with just three bolts to protect the fins or the fingers on the clutch basket. I was just looking at that and I was like you know what if we do something stupid and break that again I'm gonna be mad. So anyway I threw that on quick. Everything else is pretty well buttoned up. Is it? That disc was sitting on there for like a century. It was and I didn't even use it. I ended up going with the measurement method instead of degrees for the cams. Finding the center line and setting my cam gears. All that talk about decreeing the cams you didn't even degree them you just measure out. Yeah kind of yeah you know. Well if it was. I talked to the engine builder. He gave me the math so I had the indicator on there. I turned this motor over so many times. Look here's part of it. This is always a good procrastination spot when you don't do a lot of these motors because the next step is putting it in the bike and firing it up. So buttoning everything up for the last time is a little stressful but I spun this thing over a lot. I quadruple checked my measurements and everything else. I should probably change the oil. I don't just with how often I spun it. That's a joke. There's no oil in it at the moment. All right here we go valve cover. I feel like that could be a little tighter. Toyta. A little toyta. Toyta like toyga. Let's look at this a second. So we're gonna make sure our dowel pin holes are clean. Look look watch this pin. See how it bounces back out. Yes yeah. So we want to mitigate that. How are we going to do that? I'll show you. I'll clean off our dowels with some brake cleaner. There's a little assembly lube in the bottom and that stuff is thick and gooey. So we just want to make sure we have all all the oil and everything out so that can slip in and not bounce back out. Just like that. So now when I push it, it doesn't move. Now let's do this again. Yep I like that better. Do you remember when we pulled this apart? It was quite a while ago. It was quite quite some time ago. I don't know why you made it turn out so long Dan but you know do whatever you tell me. Make them wait a little longer Craig. That's right. It was Dan's fault. You want to blame somebody blame Dan. He's got thick skin and true work pants on. Ain't nothing bothering him. What's the torque number on these Dan? Seven. You're I think you're right it's probably 7.2. Yeah 7.2 or 7.4. I didn't know what a normal torque number is. Would be my guess. For those bolts. Time to go to Vegas. Apparently I'm good at guessing. Engine top end torque specs 10. 10 foot pounds. That's a little more than I would have thought. All right Dan. All right Craig. That's the final thing I wanted to do before we do the next thing I wanted to do which is you guessed it. Engine in the bike. Let's do it. Don't procrastinate long enough. Procrastinated long enough. All right here's the next step I guess. We get the engine off the stand. We get the bike on the table and then somehow we get the engine under the bike. What's the best way we want to do this? And I'm not going to think about it too much. A fellow can do a lot of thinking or a fellow can do a lot of doing and the fellow that does a lot of doing is going to get more done than the fellow that does a lot of thinking. Dan is this your first Hayabusa engine install? Is it your first Hayabusa engine install? I didn't ask me I asked you but yes. Yes yes it's mine. The answer is yes. Glad I could be sharing this experience with you. I'd rather share it with no one else. Get it there. Get it there. Cool thank you. Amanda is that the first time you helped install a boost engine? Yes. Okay. First time for everybody. There that's what I wanted. Are we in? Is the boost motor in? So crazy to think about. Booster booster booster booster rocking everywhere. Booster booster booster make me nervous I need new underwear. Booster booster booster booster hope it don't blow itself up for the third time. Craig are you looking forward to riding a turbocharged Hayabusa? Kind of. Dan? Craig? I think we got ourselves a Hayabusa motor back inside a Hayabusa. Is it really here? It's really here. Nice. Love it. Now we got the engine in. There's really not much else left to do. We're gonna throw some gas in the tank and see if this thing is gonna fire up. I'm kind of kidding. We got a lot of things to hook up. Uh we got hoses and you remember where these go? Nope. Yep me neither. How about this one? Remember where this goes? Probably the cardinal grand meter. Could be the Okay. These here are gonna be for our coil packs. I don't know. I'm not sure where this oh that's supposed to go anywhere. All right. Well one step at a time. That's what I always say. How do we want to put our coils in? Let's start with our coil sticks. Now I'm gonna guess this sensor is gonna plug right to there and then these I'm just gonna line right up. One two three. Oh boy. One two. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry guys. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. He's getting on the table. Now it's serious. That's right. I'm tired of messing around. There we go. Gonna go there. Saying this is gonna get hooked to here. This is probably gonna go to here. This is my gas. That's gonna maybe be a fuel return or something. I really would have thought I'd know remember how this went back together. Why is this cut? Yeah so none of the fuel lines were hooked up. Okay none of this stuff is hooked up. None of that's hooked up. None of that's hooked up. None of that's hooked up. That's why I wasn't doing any. One two three four. Okay. I don't know where that goes yet. We'll figure that out. Don't know where any of these go yet. We'll figure that out. Not sure where that goes. We'll figure that out. I'm looking pretty good. That's how this goes. Okay. We're looking pretty good. Oh and then we got uh-huh. Uh-huh. Forgot about all this stuff on the front. We got to put all this stuff on here too. That's all right. That won't take long. Where are we putting the um the key component of this Busa? I don't know. We might just keep it on the workbench. Who needs it? Turbo Busa without the turbo. I didn't say that. Everybody just clicked off the video. Just like uh cheeseburger with no cheese. So when I was a kid, this is no no joke, when I was a kid my mom had a coupon for like a free hamburger at McDonald's or something. So she sends me in to get this free hamburger and the lady I had ordered a cheeseburger and she's like well you can't do that it's for a hamburger. I was like oh and then I was like can I get a hamburger with cheese? She said yes. Nice. And like 12 year old me thought I was the smartest kid in the world. All righty. Boy we are looking pretty good. Your timer just went off so pull through. Sweet. Yeah yeah there's two bikes at auction that I'm gonna try to buy right now. Let me wash my hands quick and then let's go see if we can get some bikes bought. Two thumbs up because I didn't only buy one bike I bought two. Those aren't thumbs. I'm excited. Man that was exciting. Back to the Busa. All right so the next thing I need to do is replace all the rubber lines. These things are super brittle you know. So I'm gonna replace all those with some fresh fuel line, return line, new fuel filter, kind of clean all that stuff up a bit. I don't know how action-packed this is gonna be. So you guys are gonna listen to the radio a bit and I'm gonna get this knocked out quick. Why didn't I do this when the engine was out? I'm such an idiot. I'll be done by now. So you guys just saw me. That was the quick version. I ran all new fuel lines. So now our fuel lines are nice and pliable. Everything is clamped on up to our regulator. A new fuel filter that's just loose right now. Pump is back where it belongs. Everything that goes on this bike now fits on the table. On this table? Yeah well those fit. Oh yeah they just they're not on the table. There's that. I mean other than the other than the plastics and the seat. Everything is right here. So especially that seven up can. Yeah that's going in. That's going to be cooling system. Let's see if we can figure that out. Man we are getting close. Actually before that let's put this on. Let's put our stainer on. Get that plugged in and all set to go. Okay now we don't want to pinch our fingers. That is torqued. I torqued it. You can tell because I marked it. That is a magnet there I tell you. Holy macaroni. Gaskets in. Oh hey handlebar how you doing? Oh son how you doing? That is why I wear my beanie for when I hit my head off the handlebars. Protects my noggin. If you don't feel comfortable starting bolts with a impact like this don't do it. But I do. So I do. It's done. So that's gonna get that gets run up and then hooked in. Just have to find those connectors. This is a coolant line that I think we'll just figure out where that goes when that stuff's getting put back on. This we've got our clutch push rod, counter shaft sprocket, and chain. And then this will all get bolted fast just like that. All right what's next on the docket? Let's let's come around to the other side. Let's see if we can do cooling system quick. I think the radiator gets mounted to this. Let's get mounted up here. Am I right? This is gonna go here. So this will come through here. Go to here. And then would you look at that? You were right. This goes right there. Oh it's beautiful. It's beautiful. That's a that's a pose. Oh here I forgot. This is why we replaced the fuel line. I wanted to show you guys this. I mean this stuff is hard as rocks. It's no good. Fuel filter. You play jingle bells on that thing. They're not supposed to sound like that. See? Oh yeah. Okay. Anyway now I'm going to throw these out. Okay screwdriver. Let's tighten this stuff up. Guys this is the easy part about this whole process. Finalizing putting this thing the engine in and figuring out where all this stuff goes is the easy part. Coming to terms with the fact that it's time to put the engine in and you got to be sure of yourself that you did it right is the hard part. So you're saying the hard part is past. The hard part is past. This is the easy part. So you're saying it should just be smooth sailing after this. Well I got over my fear of trying it so. So that's hooked up. That's cool. That's on and tight. That's cool. I'm not 100% sure where this is supposed to go at the moment. Uh oh here this goes here. Look that one was obvious. Click. I'm assuming this was cool. Maybe I'm assuming wrong. Why didn't I mark any of this stuff? For crying out loud. And I have this too. All right well look at a diagram. Now let's start guessing. But let's let's start guessing by elimination. Let's take the turbo. This is what we've all been waiting for. And let's see if we can mount that and get that figured out here quick. I feel like there's already an issue. That issue being turbo's not clocked correctly. Oh. So I don't think it's a huge issue. What do you mean by that? It's not clocked correctly? Okay so this is gonna mount. Here come down here. I'll show you. So this I think mounts right here right? Stands to reason. So what that's doing with it like this is this is our oil out. This is our pressure in. So we want pressure in at the top. Oil out at the bottom. And we want this piece aimed up. So I think we need to spin this. Okay so now we should be able to spin this and get that set where we want it. So what I'm gonna do is just snug a couple of these up so it kind of holds its spot for now. I think our next step is we're gonna torque the exhaust pipe down. Our exhaust manifold. We're gonna torque that down and then hang the turbo. Screwing every bit of this up. We gotta take this back off. Torque them and then put that back up. Do you know how I know that? Because you read it? No. Because I can't get to them. Easy. That's carbon fiber. It's getting warm in here. So our cooling system is now kind of sorted. Got a couple pieces we got to find. Figure out where they go. But let's look at this turbo because that's a pretty big piece of this turbo bike. I need four bolts. Four nuts. Four nuts and four bolts. Well maybe what we do right now Dan is we act like I didn't say we were gonna mess with the turbo and we mess with the clutch. Next is what we're gonna do is the clutch because I can't find the nuts and the bolts apparently right now that hold the thing onto the stuff. Lovely. Yeah so here we go. All right so here's what I got to do. I need to figure out the clutch stack. There are a number of different plates inside this clutch stack. Okay so let's figure out our clutch stack. We're just gonna have to do this one step at a time. So we need the seat and then the washer. That's the washer. This is the seat and then washer. So it's a it's a bevel washer. I'm just not sure if it goes this way or this way. So let me figure that out quick. Okay here we go. Spring seat. So this goes out like that. Now before we forget let's take our push rod and our push rod's gonna go right in the center and it's gonna meet with that rod in there. So now here's what we need to do. This one here is going to be first because if you look it's not last. No just kidding. See how that one is and then see the difference in them? One's thicker. Yeah so the thin one goes first and then what that does is that goes around that spring and that seat like that. So is that how it always works from thinnest to thickest? Well you got to read the book. So if you look at these. I think I explained this already didn't I? See the thickness difference these two? There's a thickness difference there. I don't know if you can see it or not. That's very hard to tell. Okay well there is. I believe you. Okay so we're taking thin ones. It gets three thin ones. So that's three and then it gets two thick ones. The last and then when there's a thick one. Let's put the fill hole at the top. It's probably where it's supposed to be. That's in. Okay. This here is oiled. Clean and oiled. That just gets put on right here. Yoink. Just like that. Now I'm gonna give this a spin in the front. It's all looking good. How about air box? Air box. Oh man air box. All right let me find four bolts that we can use for the turbo. Pretty exciting. Can you believe this is where we're at? I told you this day would come. Oh man we're putting the turbo in after all? Yeah found the bolts. I'm like yeah okay might as well. Probably be there. Okay I'm thinking. I'm thinking that's how that's gonna go. Yeah that ain't gonna work. I'm just concerned here. I don't want this line to be kinked. I noticed it was kinked pretty hard when we pulled all this stuff apart a couple years ago. All right turbo is that's all pretty well set. I pulled the plugs. I pulled the air box. What we're gonna do is dump some oil in. Put the filter on and crank this thing over and build some oil pressure. Fingers crossed. If we don't build oil pressure we'll come back to that. That's not gonna happen though. We're gonna be good. Once we build oil pressure and I'm satisfied that that's all doing stuff it should do, we're gonna throw the plugs back in, throw the tank on, hook up fuel system, bleed that out, fire this bike up for the first time in two years? Something like that. When was it blown? All right let's do it. First up Dan is oil filter. I plugged our dump valve or dump hose so we're gonna first get oil out of up here. Make sure we're getting oil there. Feeds turbo and then we're gonna let it drip. Let it drip. See what happens. Yeah I guess we're all set. I don't know what else there is to do. I can't believe we're this close. I know right. I don't know what your hold up was Dan. Oh my gosh Sarah. He's okay. He's okay. He just looks scary. She's like an angry grandma in her christmas sweater. We'll give it some cranks. Good things going through the system. Moment of truth. So far so good. Dang boost the lights are on. And dude this is like the hardest part man. When you have a motor like this completely apart. Did you crank it at all yet? No I spun it a lot by hand. I'll crank it. All I can do is go crack. That's right. Good friend of mine once said crank it all it can do is go crack. Here we go. Oh dang it. That was pretty anti-climatic. What's going on? The light's flickering. You're neutral. Good point. Yeah. Battery dead. No it's fresh. Well well shucks. There's our solenoid is in behind here. Am I missing a wire? Maybe. What's this? Uh I don't know. It's a great question. I'm gonna give Dan a mic. You're in the video now. All right where are we putting this? Oh yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah we'll make videos now. Now we're going nationwide. Mind your mouth. Nationwide. I don't know where the mic can go that way. How about we pull this? That's how you pull this off. I said it first. Did you put a new starter on it? No. It didn't crank before you don't know. I did. I forget if we cranked it or not. I don't think we did because it was pieces. Let's just see if it cranks over. Watch yourself. Yeah. It cranks over. Let's see. We got old parts. Let's just do this here once. You ready? Yeah. That's a long time. Do we have a little oil pan to stick in here? It should pop oil out of this filler. Good news is I'm fresh. I can pull the motor pretty quick. Well it shouldn't have to. I mean it just dropped that valve so it shouldn't have all kinds of metal in it to wipe out the oil pump right? No that was all clean. There we go. There you go. Tighten them back up. My heart was pounding. Hey future Craig here. I know this bike is going to fire up. At least I hope so. And the next thing we're going to have to do is get it on the road and go for a ride. So I need to get a few things ordered before we can do that. I wanted to show you guys because I get a lot of questions about where I get parts and stuff. I've been shopping at Dennis Kirk since probably well this is a 95 catalog so before 95. Probably early 90s. I've been a customer of Dennis Kirk and I got a few things here. I had it in my cart. I need to get a chain. I need to get some more brake in oil. Another oil filler or two and I want to replace the brakes with high temp fluid. Now the nice thing about this is I have 7 hours and 25 minutes and 42 seconds. If I place my order before that clock hits zero it gets shipped today and I'm gonna be over oh yeah the chain alone is 300 some bucks. Oh I did buy the best chain I could buy for this bike. It's a turbocharged hybrid. You gotta buy the best chain. Yes correct. Any order over $89 ships for free. When you ask me where I'm buying parts a lot of times it's through Dennis Kirk. Big thank you to Dennis Kirk for sponsoring the last set of videos here on the Hayabusa and getting behind us on this project. We needed a little kick in the rear and they gave it to us. When you guys are looking for parts or accessories for your ride doesn't matter if it's Harley, Metric street bikes, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, UTVs, ATVs, they got it all. Go check them out. We're gonna put all the information down in the description Denniskirk.com. I'm gonna make sure that I don't need anything else before we get this bike fired up and try to take it for a ride. This is a pretty big day here in the shop man. I worked out pretty funny that you're like I'm not doing anything. I'm glad you came over. You still gotta figure out why don't put crank off the button. Yeah. Okay what do you want to do next? Well I guess to crank it until I get some oil out of the turbo. We don't want to fire that up dry right? Yeah we can crank that and get that out of there. All right go ahead. There it is. We got it. So we need plugs and a coil pack. Let's just chuck this one. We can do it with just one I think. I gotta crank it though. Yeah. Ready? Yeah. Then we definitely got a problem with spark. What are these? I'd like to know what this nonsense goes to. Yeah we're gonna figure that out. I think this here I think if we put a jumper wire. Yeah. In between these two that'll crank it and it'll get spark. Hold on I got the special I got the special Suzuki tool for that. Can we just make one? It's a paper clip. Oh is that the special one? That's the special tool. All right Dan or Dan, Dan, Dan. I got the special tool. This is the Suzuki special tool. You can read your trouble codes with this. You can do all sorts of stuff with this. I should actually crank it now. I would think. What are you doing? I was just getting it somewhere. Let's see if it cranks. Yeah. All right let's see if it gets spark. I wonder if I got to be something hooked different to that tank. Just like that. That's not it either. Well it's not the one. Right here that's the one. That'd be the one. This got right there. We're still missing something bud. We're still missing something here. These these got to be hooked up to something. I mean especially that one. That's six wire. So I agree that looks like something that needs to be hooked up. I tell you what man I'm running out of things to be hooking up. Here. What do we got going on right here? Here's one that's unhooked. This went across. That's another temp sense wire I do believe. There's some fuses up here. That could do Fuses testing good. Just gonna run through them all. And they're all good. Yeah. The only thing I guessed at was this wire here going to ground instead of power and that. Do you have a you don't have a regular test light do you? Maybe there's someone. How does that happen? Huh? What the? What happened? Mike! What is this? This is my test light. Oh why did you? I didn't. Why'd you bite it in half right? Come on. This is why we can't have nice things. He's gonna have it figured out before I get my test lamp fixed. Frog snacks. Didn't see this coming. Okay our test light works. I'm gonna look. I think I have everything out of the parts room. Let's see if the solenoid ain't shot. We got it down here. I bet that solenoid's shot. Yeah because she's not doing nothing. But when I hit the button up here. Yeah I think the solenoid's gone. But that doesn't explain why we don't have spark. Correct. We have another problem why we don't have spark. Unless they all got to be hooked up. I'm not sure how this system works. Apparently I'm not either. I'm just not happy with the way that feels in there. I don't know how the plug feels inside the coil. That's Suzuki. Suzuki. Needs to be a Yamaha. I know. I'm all about Yamaha's not Suzuki's. See I got good friends. On on. Yeah I guess. Key on. There's some. Pretty faint. Whoa there it is. See. I wonder if you don't got a ground that's not. Here's my ground wire. That's your tender ground. There's your big ground. Where's your big ground go? Right to the starter there. What's that little one there? That's fuel pump. Well you got spark though. I mean maybe that's just. Put them in once. Let's try it. That's what I like to hear. There it goes. Okay. All right. Now. Fuel. We need fuel. Now let's put this on. Fuel on. Oh that's right. I can sit here. Hold this second. Normally I'd have to go find a ratchet strap. And then I'd probably have to fix the ratchet strap once I found it. Okay. So here's where we're at now. How many gas? We need gas. I don't know how much we need. I don't know. Give it a shot. We ain't gonna lose sleep. I am. All right. So we're gonna set this up. I'm gonna do my clean off the workbench thing. We're gonna prime the system. And we're gonna hope we can get this thing to fire. We're all set. It still doesn't crank on its own. But I think we got some spark. We got the fuel tank in. On. Test lights hanging there. It's a good thing. It's time to clean off. You know what time it is? It's time to. I can't believe we're here with this booster, Craig. I know. I'm a little giddy. Okay. This is gonna be my key. I'm gonna keep that. I'm gonna turn key on. I'm gonna do that a couple times. Get the air out of it. Yep. We're gonna bleed that system. That fuel system. One more. Good luck. Here we go. We're all set. Still bubbling a little bit. Try it once again. Did you have it loaded up pretty good with oil and stuff in its cylinder? Why are you thinking fouled? It might have. Crank it again. We'll try it. Give her a little shot here. Well, did you want to leave it running longer or what? Can we get it to run off the fuel, you think? No. Well, yeah. That's what I said. If you want to try it, just try to get it running. I don't let off the throttle. Yeah. Okay. Might have to adjust the throttle up some is what I'm saying. Contact. Good. I might have to give it a shot again. Oh, what about this piece? This. This needs to be a certain way for stops the fuel pump. Got it. What is wrong with you? Why didn't you think of that first? That's probably why it shut off the first time. Probably. That vibrated down in there. Yeah. We might have enough gas in the tank up. Try it. All right. Here we go. Just kidding. I don't have. I don't have. There you go. Ah, perfect. Oh, man, guys. I'm super pumped. That's the first time this bike has not even quite sure what to say here at the moment, Dan. But I'm excited because we've rebuilt this motor and it works. It actually works. Now, we didn't get to ride it because, well, it's November and we're in Tennant. Now, where are we at? We're in Pennsylvania. And this is what it looks like outside. So we're not going to ride it today and we got a little bit of work yet to do until it is ready for the road. I just want to make sure all my eyes are dotted, T's are crossed, that sort of thing. Solenoid works. Solenoid works. After all, it is a turbocharged Hayabusa. We don't want to rush it and screw anything up now because so far so good. Anyway, thanks for watching. Really quick. I'm sorry to interrupt, but we are coming into Black Friday or maybe we just passed Black Friday. I'm not quite sure when the calendar is where. I'm going to let you guys know we are pretty much running super low on merch right now because we have all new T-shirts, hoodies, hats, everything. It's all coming and it's going to be here very soon. You guys keep an eye on thebeardedmechanic.shop. We're going to be updating that very soon and there's going to be a whole bunch of new merch for you guys to check out. Now, back to this outro. You guys have a great weekend. Find a bike, start wrenching, start learning, start having fun. We'll see you guys later.
