Yes, thanks for posting that. I just got an email yesterday from Pinkerton, so it's pretty interesting to see him on the "telly". 🙂

I'm pretty familiar with the engine after getting it to run using a MoTeC ECU. On the 72 degree banking and single plane crankshaft, that's a big deal for setting up sequential operations (the factory engines are waste spark). Just working out the firing order took a while (and the factory documentation is wrong 🙂 ).  Many thanks to the folks who helped me with that project!

Hartley Enterprises in the USA makes a 90* V8 based on the Hayabusa.

Interesting video that, no where near the best of Pinky though, think the camera did that!

Dont want to hi-jack the thread but that Hartley V8 is absolutely stunning and the two cannot be compared!
