Default NOVEL 2UR-GSE 530HP with 8500 rpm redline !

As the title states ....... here she is boys . Figured I'd share this here since I have been absent for a while working on my Facebook page. The motor looks to be normally aspirated and fully tuned. I will drop more info as I receive it. I am friends with Taku Wantanabe from NOVEL and will post the news here as soon as he releases it. Figured it was too good to wait. BOOM !

This is how I imagined ISF would be like if given the same amount of engineering found on the E9X's 4.0L V8...pushed to the most humanly possible with some degree of reliability.

Can't wait for more info!

We already know the price of the Novel exhaust setup so I would imagine it would cost a pretty penny.

Exciting! Can't wait to hear more from them. If only this was something that could be easily done to an ISF. But I'm sure it costs tons of money.. But either way I'm very excited! 8500rpm must sound amazing

Increased RPM usually means hardware replacement and that also usually means $2000 in parts alone (pistons, rockers, etc), so yeah, this will most likely cost more than the RR Racing supercharger kit.

Wonder how much of a performance difference we're talking here.
