I've had to add alot more bracing to mine to make it stiffer due to the amount of power I'm putting through the thing.
25 extra bracing bars thoughout the whole car

Engine I would guess is goin to cost £2500,then it needs dry sumping,then you've got circa £5000 for a cheap(MK) chassis including rolling gear(wheels,diff etc)
So I would guess about £13,000 to build a busa turbo MK

Decent Busa engine and all the right gear to turbo it properly will probably be nearer to 8K mark. And they do like to go bang.
Forget rebuilding it when it goes bang as there probably wont be much left when it lets go at 11,000 RPM on full boost!!!
If you are going to use on the road then a car engined version is the better choive IMO.
Its difficult to compare a bike engined kit to a YB powered version as the YB could be anything between 220 and 500 horses!!! I think a decent busa turbo produces around 350BHP.
