We are documenting out many adventures in off road desert racing and back country exploration on 4 wheels with out Can-Am X3. Custom builds, modifications, maintenance, and much more - we are covering everything you'll need to know to start racing and exploring the back woods in your own UTV. Or come along with us and watch from the comfort of your own living room! :)
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Soft Cab Enclosure for your Can-Am X3 (if your car year is 2017-2024
Hey awesome idea…. I have a friend who used a twin turbo hayabusa in a stream liner bonnaville car. The engine was making around 1000 hp. They engineered the whole car from scratch. It’s not an X3 but he may be able to shed light on some good soultions or steer you in the right dissection. They have since broke it and replaced with a toyota engine. Let me know in a reply if you want to talk to him and I’ll put you in touch with him…. Good Luck
That’s awesome! We actually have been to Bonneville and ran a streamliner too! Such a small world! A twin turbo Busa motor must be an absolute MONSTER!!! That awesome!
I know I know and I’ve been riding bikes for over 30 years so idk what I was thinking - I get nervous on camera still and panic so I’m going to chalk it up to that lol
Appreciate that! Not going to lie - pretty dang stoked that you guys commented on one of my videos!!! I definitely hope to meet you guys once it’s done!! 😎😜🤘🏼
You’ll never not be messing with the chain. I built a r1 rhino and to gear those motors to handle the weight you’ll melt chains. Not saying it’s not fun but your reliability is going way down.
Diesel won't hurt the injectors. If anything, it's more lubrication. The fuel pump shouldn't have enough residual that it causes an issue. First prime and crank will get rid of it.
Yea I have, I was thinking once you need to make custom axles and then do all the wiring etc, I was thinking it would likely be the same price, and plus I was thinking this would just be a little different :)
That’s exactly what happened, there was diesel in the new fuel pump (I’m guessing for testing and shipping) and that was getting pushed through everything!
THAT is a good idea - I wonder how much power that could hold? Only reason I was thinking a blower belt is because it’s a cogged belt, but just a little fatter. But your idea would definitely not suck up near as much power
The problem is the hayabusa transmission lower the gear ratio , the x3 trans lower it too. So you have to gear it up between the 2... so the drive sprocket need to be at least twice as big as the driven one and it is turning too fast for a chain. I think you should try a very big timing belt but i m not even sure it will last because of the load and rotating speed due to the gearing. If i was you, i know it may sound weird, but i would try pulley with multiple v belt like a lawn tractor
I was thinking a blower belt or a SCS gearbox. I’m just not sure which one I want to try first. I KNOW the SCS gearbox will hold, it’s just heavy and will rob some power, but I know that part will be bulletproof! Lol
@@thejourneyretold i will sound a bit negative but doing a hayabusa swap is not a good idea... you will end up with a sxs that has 3 gear box... it won t be reliable... you should choose another type of engine and put one good sequential gearbox if you really wanna do a swap...
Its like i found this video by synchronicity because i was just thinking of a steertbike engone in the can am or razor since they are already making four cylinder sxs 😎
If you run a chain to the output shaft on the stock x3 transmission, you’ll keep 4x4. Just because you’re using the stock cvt transmission doesn’t mean it’s only going to be one gear. The hayabusa has an internal 6 speed transmission which means you’ll have 6 speeds and can still choose to be in low or high and have reverse. A chain is the easy option for the conversion, just keep a spare chain with ya
Also find out what the final drive gear is in high and in low and look up a gear calculator online. Use that and also the gearing from each gear from the hayabusa to figure out your sprocket size. It’ll probably be a small sprocket.
I’ve heard a chain just burns up (cooks the o-rings out) really quick though? I’d rather something a little more long term… How’d you get the sprocket onto the transmission input shaft? I’m assuming the splines don’t line up stock, or what sprocket did you get that did line up with the X3 trans?
