Twin charge?? Looks like a proper single turbo set-up. Ecotec, but is that a 2.0 or 2,2 engine? Edit; direct injection 2.0LNF or maybe 2,2 LAP base?

It's bargain for a true race engine... I'm sure it's kind of a development from new lower cost BTCC engines or something like that Older 280hp+ N/A BTCC engines were £25k new... you can't even get a used one for 10k...

Bear in mind it's "starting from" so I'd not expect all the toys either, but it's gonna have some pedigree

Swindon do make great engines with lots and lots of R&D. I could make something very similar to that for anyone for around £6000 though (including +1mm valves and head job which that will probably have).
