That`s Horn/porn Morry,,, almost made me jizz
I love those old kwaka6`s,,, & a kwakaV12 is double the bubble

but Aust got them as 1300cc 6cyl so i thought i would have been badged a Z2600 V12 ?
maybe other countries got a small version?

& no Kenno,,, R1/mini donk is still on the shelf , i have a little bit much on my plate atm
so "play time" has to wait... however i`m thinking i`d much rather one of these things (in the first post/title of this thread) than bother completing mine now i`ll get back to it in a year or so after we move into our new building.

I think maybe it lost some stroke in translation. It is a fantastic effort though.

I would say for like $20k!!!!

A pro-motive kit r1 is looking at $10k, easy!

Ah, it's only money. Just think of the stares you'll get at the traffic lights, thats worth millions.

I may be showing my ignorance of flow matters or matters that flow!...but that exhaust junction/plenum just looks odd and little "unelegant"

I would appreciate comments from someone who really knows?? GR???

PS I assume that each pipe does terminate at the plenum and nothing special going on inside

PPS I also assume that with that amount of power available you could hang a downpipe off it and still be happy!!

i think i`m going to buy a gearbox/diff kit from them as soon as they`re available
serious!!!
My black sports sedan mini deserves it

so that leaves my turbo, injected, twin-cam, 16v K1200 cyl head, 6-speed dog box, power unit available to put into my woody wagon

The Allen/Pinion 8-port crossflow injected engine for my "S"

the current buggy can get my old 1510cc donk

& the new 4x4 buggy can have the turbo charged FZ1 bike engine



Hmmmm,,, starting to make a decent package of cars (in my dreams)

Thats a shame....but they have to recoup their R&D somehow...

I`m not going to guess how much the case-Kit is worth,,, i`ll just wait for them to reply to my request for cost & availability time & i`ll let you all know

a WHole fully built-up power-unit (ready to fit & run) would surely be way more than $20K i`d reckon

I think the pro-motive kit is good value really. You can get r1 engines for $2-3k and the kit is about $7k.

Then you just grab a spare engine for the future. A mini engine kicking out that hp would be more than that I'd say?!?

Pro-motive are no longer making kits, at least for the moment.

There`s absolutely nothing currently on the market as good as this thing , i reckon

If turbo`d & in a lightweight sports sedan, the power to weight ratio & (more importantly)--> the """balance""" of the car will be absolutely sensational.

I`m ordering a kit as soon as they`re available (if they actually do become available)
