Hi there

I am looking for high powered K series engine, c190+ BHP for a project. This is a long shot but does anyone have one for sale or know of one.

Ideally I am after throttle bodies, forget pistons and uprated liners as a minimum.

Cheers

All of the specs are on the VGK site - he made some quite extensive changes. When it was running it made 220bhp but it was the torque that really made it.

Now sorted thanks. Project took a change of direction and I now own an Elise S1 with a 226bhp K Series engine built by Rob at Ratrace. I was going to buy one of the Elise S1 to Exige Conversion cars that was for sale recently that needed a more powerful engine (it sill has the 118 bhp spec engine. I am glad that i bought an Elise instead.
