PMS 240 engine

[gambit]

Pure Motorsport 240 engine, anyone here running the engine? If so what’s your experience of the built engine or the parts to piece it together yourself? Also what other ancillary parts have you matched it to and results?

@Russ Rallye had one I think?

 

[Chambers_RS]

Be good to hear from someone who has one 👍🏻

 

[Mertin]

If you look up Derek Rothnie on facebook, he has a pms 240 engine which he built himself. Don't think he is on here

I run with 2 people in tricolore trophy race series who run them , nick Gwinnet and tony hunter
bloody hard to keep up with and they have had no problems with them.
nick at puremotor sport is a top bloke and will give you any help you need, get all my spares from there

 

[Jack-C]

Having personally seen the tricolore cars as mentioned above over a number of seasons I can echo what Bob has said in that they are ultra reliable and very quick.


A well sorted Clio with a pms 240 engine makes for a great all round package and in both cars the engines were built by pms as far as I am aware.

I have just had my engine rebuilt by nick to his 240 spec , got one of his exhaust manifold as well , its sitting on my workshop floor waiting to be fitted , only heard good things about them , and they seem to go well

Good to hear, how has that process been having that engine built by PMS and will what other ancillary changes have you made to the car?

Aren't these 240 spec engines around £10k?

 

[gambit]

Its 4.6k to buy the kit and then assemble yourself to save some coin, not bad for a DIY'er

Yeah, but guess you get some form of warranty/help if anything went wrong and think he puts them on an engine dyno

It's not a bad price really.

Too much money for me but some nice components in the kit, con rods especially. They certainly go well and are a known quantity. My current engine was cheaper and makes similar power if not more especially up top.
