edmandsd Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 As a final offer to L7C members I'll offer my engine complete as listed, with manifold and system, new twin plate Tilton clutch, Motec ECU AND A BRAND NEW SET OF FORGED PISTONS FITTED for £15k (The pistons are the only lifeable items in the engine currently that aren't new) . I'm yet to advertise the engine outside of this forum as i'm still using it and i'm also keen for it to go in another Caterham. Don't be put off by what may seem to be lower than expected power figures (I personally think they're accurate and that other claims are far fetched). Just look at the performance of the car as this is the real indicator as to what the engine's capable of. Also don't believe that these engines are fragile or undriveable at low revs as it's simply not true. This is an opportunity to buy a proper race engine with all the right bits and as much power as any others show for c 50% of new price (Ref Geoff Richardson). I only use the engine for occasional trips to the drag strip so it's level of use will be far lower than an equivalent circuit/sprint engine. Next and last outing with be the Brighton Speed Trials on Saturday 11th September. david@edmands.fsbusiness.co.uk 07767 457359 Home of HTR700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmandsd Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 After the Brighton Speed Trials on 11th Sept the BDX is coming out of my Caterham and being replaced with a full house 2lt Hart 420r (This is the only 2lt engine I believe is capable of outperforming the BDX). The BDX is then having new pistons/rings fitted along with a complete bottom end inspection (The top end was rebuilt with new valve springs and titanium retainers only very recently). The slide is being bored out from 42mm to 44mm and 803 injectors will replace the current greys (which will improve low/mid rpm driveability). It is then being remapped on HTR's Superflow dyno, where the next best 2lt 16v engine showed over 20bhp less. The £15k price will include all of the above plus everything you need (including the Motec ECU and exhaust manifold/system) required to fit the unit in a Caterham.

Peter T Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Dave, is this built on a KAM developments block, or is it a Coswoth block ? And does that include a Motec ecu loom ? Support the 7 Society...... Ehhh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Are you having this to go with your Speiss Peter? I have some quick release engine mounts if you would like to purchase them. Ex Fat Arnie Fat by a different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Arnie it is SPIESS, and the engine i have been chasing has gone sour. Just keeping my options open, you know how it is. Support the 7 Society...... Ehhh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmandsd Posted August 25, 2004 Author Share Posted August 25, 2004 It's got an original Ford BDT block with 4 bolt mains Peter. It uses the complete KAM Developments alloy pulley set with modern belt design. It also uses the huge capacity BDT oil system to assist block evacuation. The Motec ECU is included although i'm not sure whether that includes the loom - I'll find out whether this is being retained for the Hart installation or not and let you know.
