4-500hp Turbo Motor for $10k
I just talked to John Edwards at Costa Mesa R&D Automotive(949-631-6376) who builds 1,000hp EG33s for off road use and he said he can build a turbo street engine for pump gas. He's backed up 6 months though and can't take any cores for 2 months-just enough time to pay off some credit cards.

I honestly do not see anyone jumping on this. 10k is way too much (unless he's building it for 30+ boost) and we have someone around here attempting to fab something similar.
Has this John done any work with the eg33 in an SVX? It's a little different than sitting on the back of a dune buggy.

Re: 4-500hp Turbo Motor for $10k
I agree that it is almost more than twice as much as what it should cost. Our engines can make such HP much easier than what the common perception is. At the crank that is...
For $10k I would expect something close to 700ish.... nothing is impossible. -Sov13t.

Re: 4-500hp Turbo Motor for $10k
John basically said it would be $9-10k no matter if he built a 1,000hp or 400hp engine, basically the 400hp motor could handle up to 1,000hp, so I see it as a solid motor for long term racing.

Re: 4-500hp Turbo Motor for $10k
1000hp eg33 in an svx sounds cool
