400hp turbo

Seen it a few times jon but never actually heard how good it is. Think itd be a nightmare to keep on the boil.

Wont it be peakier than the peak district? all the power and torque at about 12-14k rpm....

had a look at their Citreon Saxo conversion where they mount a Honda engine in the rear of the car and put the petrol tank in the front of the car, behind hte radiator. Wouldn't fancy a head on collision with a full tank of petrol on board Maybe it's stronger than it looks

Not sure if they gave up on that one,it was at the autosport last year,but he said it had never run,was just a concept.Was not there this year.

Geary put together a fantastic spec turboed Hayabusa lightweight Elise about five years ago, 350+hp, but twas hard to get any update on the project, though I did have a pic of it with the clamshells off, though I do not know if it ever made it onto the road.

Must ask him.

I remember seeing that at the Donny show or was it the one at the horse and hound place down sarf. Tiny looking engine.
