Description:

I have for sale a completely refreshed 1200 Honda Blackbird engine.

Lighter than a Suzuki Hayabusa engine !

It was built by Holeshot Racing.

1195cc – big bore kit

Gas flowed, ported cylinder head

Re-profiled race Camshafts

Knife edged balanced crankshaft

Nova Racing transmissions gear set

The engine was originally being run in a Caterham 7 but the owner took it out due to a problem with the gearbox and then sold the car with a standard 1100 Blackbird engine and gearbox.

He bought a brand new gear-set from Nova Racing Transmissions and at the same time had the engine completely refreshed.

I then bought the engine and was keeping it as a spare for my own Blackbird powered Caterham 7, but as I have now sold the Caterham then I have no longer a need for this engine, hence offering it for sale.

The engine has not been run since the complete refresh and new Nova gear set.

I have not had this engine on a dyno but with this specification of components and tuning work then it should be delivering around 200 - 205 bhp at the crank and therefore around 170 - 180 bhp at the rear wheels depending upon the transmission losses in your own set up.

The engine modifications alone at Holeshot would cost ~£2500 including VAT

The Nova gear set costs nearly £1800 including VAT

On top of that you would need a Honda Blackbird engine in the first place.

Hence I think a very fair asking price for my engine is £2750.

I also have :

• a set of Honda Blackbird throttle bodies

• Honda Blackbird Wiring Loom

• Honda Blackbird OEM ECU

• Starter Motor

• Pair of coils & leads

The buyer of the engine can have first option on the above by separate negotiation.

Please feel free to ask any sensible questions by calling me on 07703 471917.
