Whats odd about it? Great engine if you are in the 1.6 class, but I'd pick a toyota lump or 1.6 vauxhall instead.

There must be a reason why they didn't. Sounds a lot simpler than getting an engine to spin the wrong way

No its N/A Revved to 10,500RPM I think it made around 320BHP but was very unreliable. He ran a 2.5 Millington lump after that and is now on his second JRE 2.5 lump. Man can't get enough power lol

And the rest, a new Millington will set you back 35k.
Either way, a LOT of money for an engine

What
A Millington is a completely custom made job, CNC head, shares practically no parts with a YB, whereas an A series is a just, an A series
Any figures?
