Three used ex F1 engines built around 1986, they are the GBA 1.5 litre V6 twin turbocharged engines. They originally produced 750 BHP and can run 1000 BHP with boost and fuel adjustments. £15k each!

Will they fit in a book chassis?
Could these be used in a twin engine capacity?

I might buy 2 just to see

Looks like a nice piece of engineering, I will buy one just to sit it in the living room.

they would look good in the conservatory too!

Theres one sitting in my thermofluids labs here at uni. A cosworth one and its for sale, no where near the 15k tho, much much cheaper

I fancy a pair (in the twin engine capacity).
One to drive the front and one to drive the rear wheels. At least I will get even tyre wear that way.
Have you seen the price of tyres of late.
It makes sense economically.
Also this way you could officially claim the title of 'HICOST!' from Hicost and maybe get featured in Which Kit.

Yeah, but who does any tuning parts to improve their power output?...

Yeah they look sweet.

Wld they fit a type-9?
Thx

Liam

I'll take all 3 . One for the front wheels one for the back, and the other for our focus...

On second thoughts....

Pure madness...what are the spares prices like?

Liam you might want to upgrade to a T5
