Twin-Turbo Subaru WRX-Engined Motorbike

Motorcycle engine, Subaru WRX (2.5 turbo) It all started a few years ago, in 2009, when it created the drawings and a 3D model of motorcycle concept "Kickboxer" motor-driven Subaru WRX. The idea was to create a radical but carefully designed construction with the use of a 2.5-litre engine from the Subaru WRX.

The drawings were a big hit on the Internet and quickly spread around the world.Finally they got one locksmith to the toolmaker and avid motorcyclist from New Zealand Marcel van Hooijdonk. And he took this serious challenge, as always wanted something like that to build. On the occasion he had the engine, wheels, he hoisted it on a makeshift slipway, walked away and decided, "Yes, it's doable."The first case was the design and construction of the front hub, and then he started to design steering. This was the first of many problems that need to be solved in the framework of the legal system of New Zealand, to obtain the final project approval for road use.And here is the finished version of "MadBoxer" you see below. This version is currently legal to use in New Zealand. The transmission is modified in an automatic two-speed with torque Converter, and the switching is done using buttons on the steering wheel on the left side. There's no footswitch of any kind. On the left hand lever is the rear brake.Tank and seat were taken from a variety of Japanese motorcycles. The front brakes of the Buell company, but protection, swivel brackets, steering components, chassis and half of the gearbox of own production, and if you look closely at these pictures, you will appreciate a huge amount of high quality work that was spent on the production of these parts.Most of the electrical wires, lithium battery and condenser are neatly Packed under the seat, in spite of very great difficulties. The engine is taken directly from Subaru and was restored prior to final installation.
