Noble built this 2005 M12 GTO-3R<\/a> with a twin-turbo 3.0 L Ford Duratec V6. Eventually the sports car made it to Kachel Motor Company<\/a> where they swapped a turbocharged 2.0 L Honda K20A inline-four. The motor features JE pistons, Skunk2 rods, Garrett turbocharger, KMC intercooler, ID1300x injectors, and Haltech Elite 1500 ECU. It produces 430 hp and is paired to a Honda six-speed manual transmission. The car also features adjustable coilovers and AP Racing four-piston calipers with cross-drilled rotors. Covering those are 18-inch wheels with Kumho Ecsta V730 tires (225\/40, 256\/35). <\/p>\n
