2. Twin Hayabusa motors with bigger turbos... if you want to be original.
How about a Hayabusa-based V8 with twin turbos?

Yes, I know it's a small-dimension, small-displacement engine, but the person who I had originally quoted suggested strapping two Hayabusa bike engines together. At least with the Powertec V8, it's already been done for you.

If nothing else, at least listen to the sexy F1 sounds the engine makes on the dyno.

I would have thought that you, of all people, would be more open-minded to a whacky "everyone says it can't be done" engine swap!

The Hayabusa-based V8 doesn't make enough torque for a car like a 280Z.
