Mitsubishi 4G63 (Lancer Evo) 3. Subaru Impreza 4. Honda K20 (Civic Type R) 5. Ford Duratec 6. BMW/Mini Cooper There are quite a few new products in the pipeline too.

Guest prescience Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 When you say 'crate' engines - would these be a 'built' (uprated) motor using some or all of the above high-performance parts and trading in the stock motor as part of the deal. If so, some prices would be really great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 This really does sound interesting for the folk interested in performance mods. Heck with straight engine transplants, it makes it as easy as falling off a log! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDI Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 When you say 'crate' engines - would these be a 'built' (uprated) motor using some or all of the above high-performance parts and trading in the stock motor as part of the deal. If so, some prices would be really great These are Cosworth built engines based on brand new parts so an exchange programme is not necessary. The official price is £TBA (to be announced) which I will expect will be known shortly. What I really like (I'm from an engineering back ground and have spent a long time air flow testing and modifying cylinder heads) is the Cosworth CNC ported heads. These are fitted with larger valves and have been ported by a CNC machine to provide approximately 35% more airflow without sacrificing air velocity (maintains drivability and economy whilt enhancing the power). These cost a tad over £3k plus vat per pair (based on all new parts - no exchange necessary). Hope this helps. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I heard of Cosworth doing 350Z parts from an Italian tuner that will be used by the italian guys for the UTEC deal etc. Sounded interesting then and sounds interesting now, also very currious to see prices of these so called "crate engines" and compare them to the US prices of various tuners who offer this service, albeit for an exchange of your own block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
