Maybe they might go a H1V8. Google it if you're unfamiliar. 2 Hayabusa heads with custom block, flat plane crank, 84mm bore and 63mm stroke, 75º vee angle, dry sump. 400hp @ 9500rpm naturally aspirated, from a 2.8L. That's with the head being completely stock too, with porting and some aftermarket cams they reckon up to 500hp is possible. Small engine too, only 550x550x450mm apparently, giving it a real low centre of gravity.
Pity the makers of it want AU$40k a piece...
The Phoenix; In the build since 10/06!
:: 4A-GTE / GT2560R / W58 / TRD 2-Way / F Series Diff / Microtech LT10S / AJPS Supplied Suspension ::
Where will it stop? Will it ever be finished? How will it go? Why am I not wearing any pants?
Something similar but 2l and Yamaha to keep it in the family could be VVTi and named BEAMS2 (Hey Toyota engineers! are you taking notes?!?)
