Thank you but premature. First, we must get through endurance runs.

Since I can't afford I have to ask:
What's the expected price range for the lowest/basic spec version.

Fantastic undertaking!

I do not know yet but I am quite sure it will be north of $65,000 including a new ECU and a new oil tank.


In case you would like to hear the engine on dyno:

Great work Robert. Been waiting to hear your results with this engine. Thats the highest output on pump gas I have seen. Are you running Motec or similar?

Thank yoiu.

We have always used Bosch. And when the 2-valve and the 4-valve are completed, I expect that we will use Bosch MS 6.2.

Love the exhaust starting to turn red towards the end .. cool..

I still 100% feel my 993 is faster for my fancy Linton breather/check valve.. at least 400hp on the seat of the pants dyno lol

Nice work.. this really should be in a Singer..

Re the comment about a Singer, perhaps, one day, we could do an upgrade kit for it.

Interesting project.

What's the target market for this engine?

Frankly, the 2-valve engine was never meant to be sold but only as a baseline for the 4-valve. Given, however, the apparent interest in it, we are going to productionize it.

Very impressive numbers and a huge applause for all of the effort in even attempting something as big as this project let alone getting to the point of having a full running prototype. Simply amazing!
