AMMO Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The plan was to fit this engine to my own car but I have decided to de-tune the engine I have currently got installed instead. The donor engine is based on a used low mileage unit and includes many new parts: Rods, pistons, rings, shells, ARP rod bolts, oil pump, steel flywheel, clutch etc. It has a crack tested and keyed crank, a dynamically balanced crank assembly, etc. It also has a mechanical chain tensioner, head work for 210 bhp, Raceline sump, DTEC 10 cams, single springs with steel top collars, etc. I'm basically using just the block, crank and head. Pretty much everything else is new. I have built dozens of these Raceco 210 engines for Caterhams, Westfields and Elises. My 210 spec engines usually make a little more bhp on the dyno. Graph of a fresh engine from Emerald's rolling road is here After running in another 5 or 6 bhp is normal. Ben Willis' engine, one of the first I built (and long before Caterham started fitting Duratecs), made 226 bhp after a year of use when it was re-tested on a dyno day at Emerald. 210 bhp is on the conservative side. I prefer to give a low figure. Anything over 210 is a bonus. It is similar to a factory fitted R400 engine but with a few more things done to it. I stopped building engines professionally almost 2 years ago. At today's prices I should be selling my engine for something in the region of £5,500. I'm asking £4,500.00. Any questions please ask.

AMMO Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Someone said they would buy this engine from me at the end of February. That's not happened so back to the top. I have a feeling the guy's wife put her foot down and told him he wasn't allowed! Is there anyone out there that is unmarried or doesn't have to ask for permission who would like this engine?

ruff seven Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 This is a bargain, for Duratec power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMO Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks for the positive comment ruff seven I've had a few emails and there seems to be some confusion as to what is included. To help clarify photo here If it isn't in the photo it isn't included. So no starter motor, alternator, ECU, loom, throttle bodies, bellhousing, exhaust, engine mounts, etc. You will need to purchase all these things separately if you are converting a K or a Crossflow. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
