You are not doing anything wrong. Calculators work with theoretical tire sizes. MInor diameter differences will skew numbers. calculators using actual diameters are a bit more accurate. If you want spot on numbers you will need to work with effective diameter which is the distance from wheel center to the ground with the tire at proper pressure. The effective diameter will be less than the theoretical .

Ok. That makes sense. So i guess i should doublecheck the numbers im getting with the actual diameter and see where that puts me.

Havent been on in a while. Dont have much extra cash laying around because of the holidays but i did get the adapter plate, hardware, etc in and have the engine and transaxle mated together out of the car on my workbench. Just need to get the transaxle beefed up before i put it in the car, get the new wheels/tires, and get the radiator, etc positioned and mounted

Laser cut out of 20mm aluminum so should be plenty strong enough. Need to make additional mounts from the right side of engine(opposite side from transaxle) so the plate isnt holding all the weight.

Are you just hanging the busa out the back like a vw engine or is it supported otherwise?

I will be making some mounts for the other side of the engine seeing as how the hayabusa was never meant to be held by only the motor mounts on only one side.

That's what I was thinking also.

Also hoping to drop a little weight off the car since it weighs roughly 1800 lbs or so and i want to put one of the Kafer bars to strengthen up the rear and maybe like a 6 point roll cage inside as well. Im thinking of going with a set of racing buckets and maybe fiberglass fenders, trunk, and decklid but these arent critical right now.

What do you guys think of cryogenic treating? I know a guy who owns a business around here and they can treat anything i want and was thinking of having the internals from the vw transaxle treated, ie shafts + gears, while i was in there upgrading the R+P, side plates, etc. I can get all the gears and shafts in the vw transaxle treated for like $60.

Cryo done correctly has benefits. Just freezing parts is a waste of money/time.
