nothing new really - Im sure you could get this in the UK if you really wanted it in a 111R.....0-60 and 0-100 figures look spot on...which is unusual knowing the source of that upgrade ...1/4 mile time looks high though - should be in the high 11's ...BHP figure is on the high side too...at best., with JRSC you can get a real 300bhp without intercooling.....

I also knew it could be done, but I never saw it done I think you must be a little bit crazy or have a lot of money in your pocket or your yota went bust, or get a good price for the yota and then swap the wonderfull Honda engine in...?
It cost some to adapt that engine in the yota bay...

Wouldnt it of made more sense to have forcefed the Yota unit ?

Guess so, but then you have turbo...but you can Bemani the thing for 12.000,-euro or komotech the beast for 10.000,-euro...
both are a bit cheaper then a complete conversion of a Honda engine and SC, so I guess it depends if you have some spare money burning in your pocket to build that Honda rocket

Forcefed are soon to bring out their new FF380 turbo kit.

Few warm up laps and then the Turbo kicks in after 5mins.

Are you SURE that started out as a 111R?????

I know it has the reflectors etc like a federal elise, but the offset of the rear wheels looks too much to be a yota engined one!??!!?!? - could be wrong, but the rear wheels look like the low offset 111S wheels rather than 111R

not that it matters, but hey!
