EVO 900 BHPThe engine was origionally a "full crate" engine from AMS in the USA, based on a new short block with K1 billet crank, AMS/ROSS pistons, CROWER rods, copper wire ringed block etc. Complete new head built with 1mm oversized supertech dual valve springs with titanium retainers, inconel exhaust valves and lots of machine porting work amongst other things. The original cost of this engine, (block/internals and head inc internals, no external bolt ons) was approx £12,000.
After only a short period, 1700mls in total, it was using a large amount of oil and smoking heavily .It went to MG AUTO'S for diagnosis and the pistons which were running large clearances had scored the bores and baisically it was rebuilt in time.
It went to Pete @ Whitfield race engines who then set about the build.
It had the ROSS pistons replaced with the latest CP units, the block was bored and fully prepped, pete then set about " cleaning up " as he put it, the work AMS had done,adding his own bit of magic in the build, and also ported/flowed a new oil pump.
The entire build inc labour and mapping came to around £6500, the engine was then mapped by Mr Motec Richard Bulmer @ Tracktive solutions.
It ran a GT35R AMS turbo kit, with ceramic coated manifold, Tial Bov and wastegate. M & W coil on plug system, and many bespoke parts.The engine was at 2bar on pump fuel and made 555hp on pump fuel 638hp @ 2.1 bar on VP import, 510lbft torque, all these figures were at the hubs, from the hub dyno at AET Turbos.
Using a 15% loss basis which I gather is about right for the hub dyno, the figures equate to about 655ATF on pump fuel and 740ATF on nrace fuel and about 600lbft of torque. At pretty low/safe boost levels too. With the motec I have a switchable map for either fuel, ( from a switch on the dash not via the laptop) anti lag and launch control are also activated. The engine had done around 5000mls inc running in miles since the build, it uses not a drop of oil.sadly this car is cat d.
At this point I sent it off to NORRIS DESIGNS to have the following fitted……

The rest of the parts are virtually new, the the fuel system, the roll cage, the interior etc.
The sparco techno carbon seats origionally retailed at around £2400 the pair, they are mounted on custom slide mounts retaining the slide facility, it has now got all black door cards and rear seats.
O.E Evo vii genuine carbon dash inserts.
Snap off O/R steering wheel. S.P.A oil pressure gauge, and knocklink mounted in black. A pillar pod. Blitz boost controller.
Brand new cusco roll cage with extra door bars, all removable easily should you want to, but it its in no way obstructive, stiffens up the chassis no end and offers a bit of extra protection.
The paint is in excellent condition with no scratches or dents whatsoever, though there are some stone chips as you would expect.
The odometer shows 30470 .mls The engine has done 6000mls.
There is very little left of the car in original form the majority of it is around 1 year old, the 30000.mls really only applies to the shell.
It is in the cheaper tax bracket £180 per year.
It will come with a years MOT.
