it is for a mini engine, how many hours do they last? or is it minutes!

Impressive numbers. More than my SW8-powered 1330 makes, and all the more reassurance for my recently purchased SW5 destined for my SPI rebuild!

Swiftune? Longer than most.

All well and good, but the mental Kiwis pushing 428hp from a 998 (1071) is going to be one of the most interesting things to see this year!
Thing is, you give Nick that budget and we know he’s smash it.

I’d think it’d be slightly more maintenance sensitive than a usual road engine due to the race parts used, but it should have a longer service life than a full on race engine

I presume some sort of supercharging is involved then, but bloody impressive all the same.

I find it amazing that people can get so much power out of the A-Series, when I was last heavily into minis (early 2000's) 100BHP was an amazing figure to achieve an always involved some form of forced induction.
I'm not against engine swaps and if I wanted to get big power out of a mini I would probably look at doing it that way as its probably cheaper and ultimately probably would last longer as the engines swaps are less stressed but its great that people have kept on developing the A-Series to get to where they are today.

The man runs a very successful business and competes in some elite races, I doubt budget is an issue, it’s a matter of what is interesting and valuable. Swifttune would gain nothing from building a turbo engine as there’s nowhere to race it.
Really it’s as posted above, for an engine that should really have been consigned to history, it’s amazing that it’s still being developed all around the world in so many different ways.
