Interesting, never heard of the project until now.

It appears as if they expect to have the first prototype running in about another 27 months?

And on the drawing board is a 1204 HP 4 cylinder version?

Am I reading that correctly?

I will root for Them...But it's probably a bad time to start a Combustion Engine Company....or any Company ...

I showed it to Peter today at Skater. He had me send it to his brother in Canada who is an outboard guru and works on F1 boat engines. He told me he would call them and let me know what he finds out.

He did say it was possible. He has friends who "use the 4 cylinder Honda engine, put immensely thick steel sleeves in it, turbo-compound it (two immense turbos, one feeding into another using insane octane fuel), and making 1500hp. But for 10 seconds max!"

I'll let you know what he finds out.
