Yeah, why not? If it's not readily equipped, it should have one and boost more performance on the wheels. Let those Nissan GTRs, Lambos and Ferraris had a "bad time" in their life! Wu haaaaa.....
It has an Elite Racing MX200 rear diff, which means you first select direction, (forward or reverse), then you can work through the gears, 1-6. This does mean that you can reach some serious speed in reverse, unlikely to ever try it though!
Still the slickest little roadster on UA-cam imo. Best of all worlds, small displacement, high compression, lightweight, technological masterpiece. I ended up buying a Jimny instead of a Cappi but now I'm lusting for a Cappi. Best looking roadsters ever, nothing even comes close and the geometry and design is really snappy nimble stuff. Overall world-beater material. Yours is the best, and the fighter engineering Cappi is in 2nd place.
@@warhoo4721 Steering wheels being tilted like that are usually a result of alignment. Most steering wheels are keyed, and you have to set them straight - then align the car. While I admire the idea of this engine swap, the tilted steering wheel speaks volumes as to the attention to detail. Video is from 6 years ago - hopefully the suspension, brakes, etc, have been upgraded to handle the power.
@PunchingMegaTree I realize that they are splined - they are also usually keyed meaning that 1 spline or groove is wider than the others. As I said an off center wheel is usually because you didn't have the wheel straight when you did the alignment.
@PunchingMegaTree I'm not that familiar with Japanese vehicles, probably since most of them have less problems where the steering wheel needs to be removed, but most American manufacturers key their steering wheels... Been an auto mechanic for 30+ years and I honestly can't recall ever having to pull the steering wheel on a Japanese car. lol So, I believe you have no reason to lie about it. Not sure what you are talking about in the hassle to remove a steering wheel part? It is pretty straight forward to me... Pull the crap off the front, remove the nut, and use a steering wheel puller to get the wheel loose. It takes maybe 20 minutes. It takes more time to get all the pieces back into place properly, but the whole job is an hour at most. You are correct that some actual front end parts such as pitman arms are uniformly splined and can have the same result if a part is removed or replaced. Most vehicles today use rack and pinion and those are also keyed at that end of the steering shaft. Let's be honest... The manufacturer doesn't key the shaft to make our job easier. They do it to reduce cost and screw-ups in the assembly line. That is also why they do other things that seem stupid to the end consumer such as using plastic T fittings in the cooling system that will harden and break over time. A penny saved here, and a dime saved there adds up to $100 saved per vehicle X 100,000 vehicles... that is real money. Plus, they usually almost break even at the time of sale, and they rely on parts and service sales to make the actual profit. A good example: GM vehicles have the bolts on the tilt steering back off all the time. GM could just put locktite on them, since it is a known problem - but then I would lose that simple work. Engineered obsolescence... it is all designed to break at some point to save manufacturing cost and to get that repair money.
Nice setup and nicely integrated gear shifter and display. What I am noticing though is that it seems to deliver most of its power at high revs - i.e. low torque at low revs. That's a useful engine characteristic for a bike, but for a car I think it would take away a bit of the fun especially for everyday driving.
I used to be a turbocharged petrol guy (high torque at low revs thanks to the turbo, just like a diesel, but still high torque at high revs because it's a petrol). These days I'm an electric vehicle guy. Instant crazy torque at any speed. I was laughing like a maniac the first dozen times I launched my Nissan leaf, and that's just with the stock 160bhp.
Not really true though, both the Hayabusa and the Super Blackbird (and the ZX12 and 14) have gobs of torque for what they are down low, this would have no trouble lugging through city traffic or short shifting, especially being turbocharged as he could just ride the boost. And for reference, the Busa and Bird specifically (because they popped up in the 90s specifically) all still top the charts in torque production for full fairing sports bikes, even the very latest CBR, ZX-R, GSXR, R1, S1000, RSV4 ECT have less torque, or are just touching the same amount of torque those bikes made back in the 90s (1200cc Yoshi FCR carbed Blackbird owner of years)
After all that engineering I'd have installed an actuator on the clutch, as well as for up and down shifts. The only trick would be to make it launch smoothly from standstill, but for that you can still use a foot-operated pedal. Once you're going, it's tap right for up, and tap left for down.
That shifting makes the motorcyclist in me cry, so slow. Also, this thing would be ridiculous with a quickshifter. Tell me it got one since this video got posted.
Damn he made flappy paddle shifters by connecting the clutch handle to compress fully before changing gear up by keeping the original clutch gearbox from the motorcycle which is basically a sequential gearbox
gambeller ar Thank you! Its expensive, at the end of the day your building the car up off the chassis. New engine, gearbox, prop-shafts, suspension, every body panel is modified except the roof, new wheels, new brakes, new instrument panel, the list goes on and on.
Curious question though, it's running the stock gearbox right? What if you installed a quickshifter on the pedals? Not the link type but somekind of limit switch.
I'd love to see a capucciono with a radical performance engine, you could get 500 hp per ton with driver included. Should get better 400m times than most sports cars.
lol if you want better quarter mile times (400m) stick a small pushrod chevy v8 under the hood and if you want turbo that bitch...and theyre aluminum so i dont think handling would be that bad
SalveMonesvol even tho im a ford guy chevy v8s are extremely light and small despite being anywhere from a 4.8 to 7.0+. Barely any heavier than the average four cylinder in a civic. Weighs much less than an rb26dett. Wont fuck handling.
Do you have any information that might help with doing this swap? I got in contact with Zcars and apparently they sold a kit for this swap but they stopped trading in 2015 apparently. Information regarding this swap is so scarce online so I'm looking for any scrap I can.
hey, ive always been a motorcycle guy but am looking into getting my first car. . . .is going through the process of importing this car(and getting a busa engine installed) worth it for a first car, that i'll use every day. . . .or should i get something more practical.
I can hear the people driving behind this car saying: "just get out of the way you little--" the Hayabusa engine draws quickly away the cappucino with an aggressive scream the kids on board of your family car: "dad / mom, were you saying that to our car or that car in front of us which has just vanished?"
How do you go about doing this or making this? Could you do a video series of your journey for those who would like to do the same thing including costs, etc...
Fabulous but a bit noisy inside..I would not mind adding a few kilos of Dyna-mat for 'noise' reduction and comfort....plenty of power even with a bit more weight..!!!
Yeah I understand the idea of how it works, but I wonder how difficult it was to make! Or is it part of a kit, Zcars do make a lot of their stuff in house, i think.
@@shredded8482 true. It may be a different transmission, especially as it has paddle shifters, because I believe the original trans was a manual with a stick...
The Hayabusa is a motorcycle. The Suzuki Cappacino is a little car that makes 63 horsepower stock. I assume he took the Hayabusa engine and put it in the cappuccino for more power. Why your here? Because its cool.
When you turn your Cappucino into an Espresso
This is Ristretto 😂 Small ,but kicks in hard
Nice one
😂😂

Please, No! Not Espresso,
Suzuki just launched another hideous crapbox, named S-presso here in India. I don’t know what's wrong with this company.
putting 400hp into this makes it a certifiable coffin on wheels lmao, nice ride and stay safe
Agreed
You’ve picked a good name I can’t stop laughing
Who wants to live for ever?
well we all gonna die one day, hopefully sooner
@@naws69 issoveryedgy
Update: Engine is being re-mapped to approx 400bhp, plus Geartronics paddleshift kit being installed....will post up videos once its done.
you should try to add a turbo, perhaps could reach up to 500hp!
Mustafa Ali Do you mean another turbo?
Yeah, why not? If it's not readily equipped, it should have one and boost more performance on the wheels. Let those Nissan GTRs, Lambos and Ferraris had a "bad time" in their life! Wu haaaaa.....

A Crown Victoria can hit 64 mph in reverse "see rental" so see if this can beat it.

Love it! Even with the wind noise you can still hear that amazing engine.
It works the same as the gear lever on a bike, so pull the left paddle for first, then right paddle for 2 to 6, left paddle to change down again.

Motorcycle gear sets are sequential gearbox. No need to install quickshifter if you know how to clutchless shifting.

This means at some point the H2 engine swapped kei car will exist.
H2 engine don't have enough torque like the haya engine
man if i owned that i'd probably be dead inside a week lol, looks great fun to drive tho man
What transmission is needed to hold that power?
I love your gearshift..... just like an F-1 and nice speedometer
