Only the best from OS Giken. They love you long time.

As a guess, you're looking at the better part of $20,000 for the head, timing gear, etc. Then you gotta build intake and exhaust systems, come up with an ignition solution... :shock:

now, is that for an old original one? or do you think that's what the reproduction one will cost?

'cause if the new ones are gonna cost that, I'm gonna definitely ask for a 33% discount! I'm just gonna cut off 1/3 anyways... hahah! :lol:

But that is for one of the original 11, right? I would imagine that that price would be cut by at least half for any serious production run.

The link hints at limited production. OS's RB30 kit (block with sleeve, crank, etc.) is $20KUSD. I have no idea, but I wouldn't be shocked at a similar price for the head, timing, and oiling bits.

A fancy clutch setup from OS G is ~$3000+.

Here are pictures of the engine at SEMA 2010. Had a complete TC24 engine on display with TWM throttle bodies and coil packs.

So pretty. Any updates from them regarding production, selection, or pricing?
