Ask them.

Although with engines built to order you'll need to decide what specs you want to get a price.

I think there's a Radical tax being applied to their prices. £92+VAT for a standard Bosch Fuel Pressure regulator!!

They're normally 30-50 quid!

Cheers it's only an idea for the moment. I keep changing my mind from second car to kit car.....
The s2000 engine is supposedly good to tune though

The F20C isn't I'm afraid. You won't see many gains from tuning unless you bolt on a turbo or supercharger.

It's already quite a highly stressed engine, plenty of info on the s2000 owners forum. Nobody bothers apart from changing air filters smile

I thought of turbo charging as a lot of people do it with good results and a 3 (?) Year warranty

Nothing specific yet just browsing companies but I wanted a lightish engine with good power or the ability to tune it whilst not spending stupid amounts smile

I looked into that. High power is really expensive! To push 500bph out of a busa is north of 15k iirc.
Plus I dont know how durable a bike engine would be with say 400kg + a rider
