Default Re: crazy engine possibilities

good luck to find one, when I made a trip last year in Belgium, where I come from I couldn't find any, and trust me I have very good source, but the Multijet, OpeL, Fiat, Suzuki ... is a better motor, it come in 1.3, 1.6, 1.9 and 2.2, it has been motor of the year, Opel, a division of GM, built a "race"car 140 MPg, while using 120 MPG. the world record, thanks to the GVT, now they have the money to bring this technology in the US.

I have a feeling that Hayabusa engine isn't cheap by any stretch of the imagination

The company i've been looking at is 31k for the motor and it puts out 250 foot pounds of torque, 400 hp, and weighs in at 200 pounds with 11k redline. The fortin tranny i'm looking at weighs about 130 pounds and is about 22k, plus a custom plate to mount them and another 20k+ for the twin turbo setup. I have a couple people interested in this setup so I may be sticking the combination in my rail pretty soon, gonna have to bump the chassis up to at least 1.5 od to handle the 1000 hp the motor will put out.....

That's kind of what I was thinking. 70K for a drivetrain
