400hp = ~294kw and there's no reason a 550cc cant deliver 100hp.

Sorry, my mistake, 294kw. Still dont see it on a 4 cyl with 550 injs
at 100% duty cycle, on 550cc , 4 cyl, BSFC of 0.6 the max is 350hp(257kw)

But if the guy says 400hp with 550cc injs, maybe he runs 5 bar feul presure.......... who am i to question it
Good luck with the sale.

That engine never made 300hp let alone 400hp so the point is moot.
Neither does it have forged pistons nor ACL bearings.
For what it is though its a good price.
*EDIT*
Assuming it is George's engine

So the 400HP and forge engin was all a scam?

I can't comment about that, he may have been misled by a unscrupulous engine builder.
I saw him driving around the other day, the engine was smoking but it looked like it was over fueling rather than blown rings.
regardless, a "working" engine and gearbox for 5k...well worth considering

398hp(292kw) on 4 x 480cc inj's.
That is .207 hp per cc.
That means i can get 337kw(460hp) on std 6 X 370cc inj's in a RB25DET
Dont think so.
