Arrows V10
This engine is from a 1990s Arrows F1 car. To dyno the engine we had to make a new drive coupling system and a dyno test loom. The engine will need further dyno testing in the future as we are looking at larger injectors and other new components to aid reliability in the car.
Formula Ford 1600
We were asked if we could build and test a Formula Ford engine. The results were good but further development is on the cards.
Offenhauser / Scarab F1 engine
We have been involved in the running and development of the engines for the two running Scarab F1 cars ( only 3 exist one being in a museum in the US)
Over the years we have made great gains in the power and reliability of these engine and know there is more to come.
Coventry Climax V8 in a Brabham F1 Car
We were asked recently to test a replacement engine for a Brabham. The engine is the Coventry Climax V8 and after several issues with the cars fuel metering unit we finally had it running nicely.
Ford Cyclone 3.7 Ti-Vct
We have been developing this engine over several years for a Morgan Flat rad car. The engine now has bespoke 3d printed inlet manifolds, one off billet dry sump kit and our own design of pistons and cams as well as other trick parts. The engine is currently running at 465bhp with a virtually flat torque curve and in the Morgan that equates to around 170mph on the banking at Daytona.
Ford 427 FE from a 1966 GT40
Ford FE V8 on the Dyno
This engine is an exact replica of the engine used by Ken Miles in his 1966 Sebring winning GT40 X1. The attention to detail on this project has been to an extremely high standard using original GT40 period parts and when the parts have not been available then exact reproductions have been made.
The car should be on the tracks next year.
