Workshop
   

What do we do, well in the main we build competition engines for most forms of motor racing.  All those hard to get, over priced parts, we build in house - billet steel main caps, fuel systems for alcohol burners, wet and dry sump oiling systems, flywheels, even rocker arms.  No job is to small, in fact we thrive on those 'one off jobs' no one else wants to know about.

The flow bench, for flow testing cylinder heads intake and exhaust systems was added a few years back, and to be honest, we learnt more with this tool in the first 15 minutes of owning it than we could with 15 years guess work.  No more assumptions (lies) we can see what works and what does not as far as cylinder port flow, valve shapes and angles is concerned.

As far as Dyno testing is concerned, after much testing, and bug ironing, this machine is now in full operation and we haven't had a days rest since.  Absoluteley wonderful.  It would seem that everybody has been hiding in the woods waiting for us to finally complete this project.  If you are interested in how we got there, read on below.......

The Dynamometer, this is a brand new 1000HP, 10000RPM, Dynamite water brake, together with Dyno-max for windows software.  This is a real time screen with full interface.  All we do is input a holding RPM, a finishing RPM and an acceleration rate, give it throttle and the computer does the rest, sounds easy I know.  Although this is not all that it is capable of.....  we can dial in 20 laps at the local quarter mile dirt track or 200 laps on a road course, start the engine and the computer will run the test.  In reality its been a tough job to set it all up, together with having to build a test cell as well. Its taken a while and the expense, well I don't even want to think about that, anyway, fingers crossed and all that,  I am working towards having it all finished up and running by Christmas 1999.  See below.....
