Hi Andy,
Sorry to see that you are selling.
I think that it should be pointed out that the engine was never optimised on our trip to Emerald, we arrived 6 hours late in the evening with only 70 miles on the engine and Dave did his best to get a working map done in the available time, hence only the one power run showing 270bhp/199lb ft. This is the most extreme spec of Duratec 2.3 that I have built to date and I would expect it to give at least 280bhp and 210 lb ft with further mapping and optimised cam timing.
The engine was built from a new 2.3, has a fully ported head,ARP head and main bearing carrier stud kits, Omega Forged pistons, Arrow steel rods, Crank Keywayed,Full engine balance,Kent cams, uprated valve springs and steel retainers, Titan Dry sump system with single pressure and double scavenge stages. Titan steel lightweight flywheel and AP CSR clutch. The induction is Direct to head Jenveys 45mm with 8 injectors, 90mm ram pipes and Pipercross foam filter.
The gearbox is the Quaife straight cut, close ratio, Heavy duty needle roller bearing (pro) box supplied by R&R.
The car also has Caterham uprated front brakes and Tillet style composite seats.
Rob
