Nah you don't want an 800hp Hyabusa that would be STUPID.
Chris' car has its roots set in the 60's. Bolting a lightweight multivalve, fuel injected, sequentially geared engine into the back would be historically wrong. Also at a time when British Engineering was at the forefront of R&D and a time when we were still a little sore at the Japanese for causing a bit of a fuss two decades earlier , bolting any product of the rising sun would be ethically and Culturally wrong.

So what are the options, Supercharged A series, nah, been done. Hilman Imp/ Coventry Climax, too unreliable when tuned. T160 Trident engine, replete with Norman Hyde heads and cams, possible but tickling the carbs would be quite tedious and these engines are getting a bit hard to find.

Nope what you need, and you can make these at home (try google)
A Gas Turbine Engine. Developed by pioneering English Inventors in the Fifities and sixties, with Slide rules, log table and a lathe, capable of 1000lbs of thrust and run on paraffin, therefore excise exempt.
There you have it cutlurally, historically, environmentally correct and can be built at home, how Locost is that!!!

Woo Hoo!

I see another book on the horizon

"Build your own gas turbine engine"

I can just imagine the law suit when it blows up!

I'm going for a Yamaha FZR1 or possibly a Honda Fireblade, but not both at the same time.

cheers

Chris
