For 2010, Formula F is getting some fresh blood. The Sports Car Club of America's board of directors has given the thumbs up to Honda's proposal for a new engine in the class. Next year, competitors will be able to swap out their ancient Ford Kent engines for a new 1.5-liter four based on the Fit.

Honda Performance Development created the engine so that it was specifically able to bolt up to many contemporary Formula Ford chassis designs with minimal modification, all while providing comparable performance. The air restrictor and ECU calibrations can be adjusted by HPD to ensure performance parity with the series' existing engines.

The engine's electronically fuel injected engine promises significantly reduced service requirements compared to the Kent, along with better efficiency. The engines will be supplied complete with intake, exhaust and conversion kits. The kit for the Swift DB-1 including the engine and all necessary parts runs $11,750 with deliveries starting February.

No1 Son picked up his new Honda City yesterday. So of course I was out with the Tape Measure today. Engine Bay Side view Sort of down the back view So its about 840mm Pulley to end of gearbox, The Exhaust goes down the back. Depth of eng including horrible CAT Conv Manifold, Alternator and A/C Compressor is just over 440mm. This could be reduced lots by using custom made Headers. 88kw at 6600rpm and torque is 145Nm at 4800rpm. Could make for a nice car.....

I'm not looking at starting a Mini engine conversion (got a Minor which might never be finished already on the go...), but I've thought for years now that a Jazz engine (L15) would be a great option for a Mini. I figured they couldn't be too deep to be shoved in the front of a Jazz, and 1.5L is perfectly legally turbo-able. And 88kW stock from a 16v 1.5 VTEC isn't bad.
