I bought a hayabusa turbo engine, brand new build a few weeks ago having discussed it with Jack at Holeshot engineering who built it. It was the full monty one on Pistonheads and Ebay.
I think it is classed as a stage four on his (holeshot) site but can be upgraded with minor changes due to the spec of the parts used, you'd have to ask him.
When Jack found out how much I paid, he immediately offered to buy it off me for the same price, so I won't be out of pocket, but if anyone here has a use for a £10K engine for £5.5K let me know before I ship it to Ireland or change my mind yet again and decide to use it.

Cheers

I know, not exactly lo-cost but good value and it would be great if someone put it in a BEC!

he is only going to sell it on and make a profit so y dont you?

But I wouldn't have a clue what to do if anything went wrong!
And beyond about 180 bhp you couldn't get the power down?
But yeah, maybe I'll keep it!

You lot are the people my parents warned me against aren't you?

The words 'influence' and 'bad' spring to mind!

I am wavering, stop it.

Run it, scare yoursef and others silly, then flog it a year or so down the line. With the money you make buy a standard Busa to drop in place and pocket the rest. You will be left with a very fast car and have that feeling that you know what 1000bhp/ton feels like!

I must be missing something here - why did you buy it in the first place if you don't want to fit it?

There's a guy running a hayabusa turbo in the Scottish Sprint & Hillclimb championships - what a thing to go! Very impressive.

Stick it in your car and enjoy the same feeling. I would love to have an engine like that. In fact run it til the end of the year and then we can come to some sort of arrangment for your engine and my K8 busa engine...
