No, it's a revised K series, now called N series I think.

It's probably not 280bhp either, whatever engine it is.

i wonder if they have revised and strengthened the old k series? or is it worse?

IIRC it is revised, the block from a TCI-Tech is not interchangable with the old K series...

I think they have strengthened the internals and it is now more reliable as a result, certainly they have not had any HGF's since the TF500 went on sale (or if so nothing higher than expected from a mass produced engine, certainly lower than the K series)

Either way time will tell! as these engines get on in years we will see how reliable they are...

TF 500's haven't sold well up here and still have hgf.

Looks homebrew in the pic or maybe RSM......

and most of them have more rust than my 14 year old MGF.
