What is the exact cc of the 1550 busa engine?

[dsl2]

From what I gather-

The 1400 is 1397cc

The 1500 is 1475cc

The 1600 is 1585cc

But can't find the exact cc of the 1550?

[ScottHughes]

I believe the 1500 is a stroked 1300, so a 1550 would be achieved with a rebore of say plus 0.5mm, 1mm, or 1.5mm etc, a standard engine is 1298cc so a 1400 is bored to give an extra 100cc, so if a 1550 is bored to an equal size it should give approx 1548cc. But this is very rough..

Scott's right as far as I know: Powertec's '1550' is 1548cc actual.

PS Let me know when you want to know the precise size of a '1900' Busa

Don't be silly ....................the biggest I can find is only 1676cc

IIRC there was an option to go as far as 1800cc using a billet block from the states

It's not even deemed suitable for circuit racing

Wow... what a guess..

[dsl2]

Power is nothing without control, or reliability!

Hopefully we won't have too much longer to wait until we find out what the size limit for next season is..........

[dsl2]

Its 1547.4cc, according to Rob at Mistral. So pretty damn close, thanks guys.

Scott, we were a bloody mile out; rounded down, 1cc = three Pukka Pies

[ScottHughes]

Does that mean if I eat 30 pukka pies before a race I will have an additional 10cc

[splitpin]

Nah, just that you'll be easy meat for everyone else ........ IF you can get in the car
