Ive been sitting here all night trawling thru posts trying to decide what engine will to produce this power. Getting tired and have made little
headway..
Can anyone tell me the best way of making around 250-300bhp in an MK indy r RELIABLY? My initial thought was a supercharge a duratec or zetec or
something but im not sure anymore. What about cosworth engine?
I would also like a setup thats installed commonly so if I have any problems mid build I can turn to locostbuilders for advice from all you guys so
try to keep it simple.
What setup is best to achieve this easiest? My budget is around £12-15k but the lower the better obviously.
Thanks
12-15K for the engine alone?
Dunnell Engines? http://www.dunnellengines.com/home.php
I've got an option 6 kit zetec in my car, it's only recently completed but so far so good. The top zetec (option 7) kit should get you,
just, into the 250+ range. The duratec option will push on towards 300.
Give Paul a call, he'll advise options and prices.

I would be looking at the SAAB, Nissan, Opel/Vauxhall, VW/Audi and Volvo range of turbo charged 4 cylinder motors. Any of those should comfortably
and very reliably do what you want with minimal mods.

Whats the planned use of car?
Cheapest way has to be the Saab 93, you can buy a complete car for a lot less than a grand & it needs (I believe) just bigger injectors & some
turbo mods, 300BHP with no internal engine mods has to be the way to go. You then just need to pickup a suitable gearbox & prop, I believe the
Omega 3.0 MV6 will fit.
Alternatively bolt a Rotrex supercharger to a 'Busa or ZZR1400 & you'll get around 250 - 300bhp reliably providing the engine is
properly installed & won't suffer oil surge
Adding a turbo to a Zetec or Duratec is going to require a lot of (very expensive) internal mods if you want it to be reliable
I'm aiming for 350 on a 2.0 zetec.
Intended mods are 8.0 comp ratio forged pistons and h beam rods, obviously a turbo as well.
For reliability a Honda S2000 with some very light tuning would/could be your best choice, the closer the engine is to OEM standard the more reliable
it will be and the S2000 is 230bhp (I think) already.
isn't there an entire S2000,in the for sale section for £4.5k? You could probably break the car and sell what's left after taking the engine
to get a good chunk of that back.
http://www.tts-performance.co.uk/#!honda-s2000/cn7h
VW audi group 1.8T engine (BAM engine code)... As fitted to the TT, Seat leon cupra R (2003 ish era)...
225hp as standard... remappable to 290 or so... can achieve 350 with a hybred turbo and new injectors...
Pretty heavy and tall engines but very well put together.
S2000 on throttle bodies = 261bhp linky
But that lump is a big un and I doubt it will fit in an MK - so if you have a total budget of £12k -£15k then a Westy is probably of range (might just
do it for £15k if you are very lucky).
DaveB666 has a Nissan turbo in his Locost - see this thread so that means it
should also fit an MK.
[Edited on 3/6/15 by kingster996]
S2000 (F20C) is nearly there and as a bonus you get one of the sweetest shifting 6 speed boxes there is, you wont get that with a ford type 9 etc.
To get a Ford Duartec/Zetec etc to this power normally aspirated you are talking silly money and unknown reliability and you'll still have a 25
year old gear box.

I think the S2000 is becoming more appealing! Ill check out the forsale list and see if I could get a good donor. Ill also have a word with the boys
at MK and see what they reccommend.
That is insane power kingster!! Looks very nice
wyllie does addijg throttle bodies make it too large for fit in an MK?

yes it will cost a lot to get 250+ from a duratec but i don't agree with unknown reliability, plenty of cars are running them with no problems. also if your spending that much money on the engine you may as well spend a bit more on a decent box. caterham 6 speed is meant to be good or even better go sequential.
personally i much prefer NA in a lightweight car(infact for me any car) but if going FI i would prefer a supercharger.
How about a nice Lycoming?
Light, powerful, and reliable down to the last nut & bolt.
I bet that would fly.

Yeah budget for whole kit.. 12-15 on engine would be nice.. But id be living rough then!
Jeffw- nice youtube link!
I think im going to go S2000 if it has forged internals and can take the power upgrade at some stage in the future then that is perfect for me. Plus if I change the throttle bodies on it and get about 250 thats sweet as a nut... For now..
There is a guy on SKCC with a S2000 engine GBS so a number of people have done this reliable.
Other than for bragging rights I cannot see why people have this fixation with huge amounts of power.
First thing is a lightweight car will struggle to put all that power down in a strait line let alone a corner.
The only place you can use it safely is on a trackday and then its still more pleasurable to get your lap times out of a good handling car than one
with pointless amounts of power.
I have had a Seven now for over 26 years. My first had a X-Flow with about 125 bhp. At that time I could thrash it on the road with little concern
about cameras and traffic patrols and have good fun. As time as gone by the roads have got busier and cameras prolific. I had a Zetec with 208 bhp in
the car for about 4 years but when that went pop due an oil pressure relief valve issue I replaced it with a standard engine producing about 175 bhp.
I do not miss the extra 33 bhp, in truth I hardly ever got the chance to use it except for the occasional track day.
My favourite road trip is still Cadwell early on a Sunday Morning. Its about 70 miles and back in the 80's I could get there in just under one
hour. Its all single carriageway roads except for a short bit of dual carriageway round Lincoln, to average 70 mph meant doing somewhat illegal
speeds. For the last 10 years its taken me about and hour and 20 minutes on a good day with both the 208 and 175 bhp engines. More power would not get
me there any faster so why pay stupid money for something you cannot use.
The Zetec in my car is a bog standard crate Blacktop with Jenvey TB's and an MBE ECU. The engine cost me £700, why pay more.
About 12 years ago an experienced driver turned up at Curborough with a Busa Turbo powered Dax, just over 300 BHP. It flew down the strait (barely
under control at times) but round the twisty bits it was a total dog. The £150 Zetec out of a scrapper I had in the car at the time was faster on a
lap. He was not happy.
Power is not always the answer.
I've been weighing up the options recently too, albeit my aspirations for power were a little lower at 200bhp. One thing that came into the
equation for me was 'what will it cost to replace the engine if it all goes pop?'
Zetec - anywhere from 100 to 700 for a brand new one
duratec - standard mondeo 250 to 500 for a fiesta st lump.
F20c - 1500-2500. Big differences.
Since this I've actually decided to go down the mx5 route. Partly because mnr were doing a cracking offer on a starter kit and secondly because
my donor engine is in excellent condition. I've been running the sums and for a solid reliable not too laggy 200bhp I'm looking at £1500 and
if I get all pOwer hungry in the future it still has potential. Also replacement engines are plentiful and cheap as chips.
I'm looking to get the zetec built for under 3k..
Wossner pistons and rods £900
Block honed and decked £200??
Exhaust manifold £125
Turbo £160
Gaskets, belts etc £100
Valve springs £150??
3" exhaust £2/300??
Ecu, not sure, budget £800
££ means not sure on price..
Does this look realistic??
I changed my x flow for a 16v Toyota 4age now about 135 to 140 hp car weights with me in about 600 kgs plenty quick enough for the road and trackdays
part of the fun of trackdays in a lower powered car is being as quick as cars you really shouldn't be
also the more hp you have the more expensive everything gets and things start breaking ..

If you break a damaged s2000 with low miles and in good order inside. You'll get the engine,6 speed box and 4.1 lsd for pretty much free!
When I did mine I think it had done 40k and was around £3k for the car. Electric roof,seats,body panels, etc are all worth good money to sell on,
I think Andrew Jackson on here may have a complete engine in his garage.send him a message and ask. Unijacko67

I can't see the need for supercharging or turbo in a 7 which is 240bhp to start with? You will never be able to use all the 240bhp on the public highways without risking life or license! And on track it will be more than enough for a mere mortal.if it's a serious competition car,running huge slicks etc then I can see instances where the power would be nice but other than that a standard s2000 would be ballistic! As would a standard 1000cc fireblade or similar in a light chassis
For my next build some time in the future I'd love to build a 7 car with the engine/transmission/diff out of a jag s type with the 3.0 duratec v6. 240bhp as standard, but removing all of the Unnecessary stuff ups the power a bit more
Posted in the other thread, so cut a long story short.. as Jeff, S2000 with TTS kit fitted at some point.
I have a crated zetec jenvey said, k6 emerald, dunnell head work, cams, arp, bigger injectors, light flywheel simpson exhaustetc and have 221.3 bhp
and 178.9ft/lb. could of had more but did not want to Larry on running costs and price as all that I've had done was reasonable price for N/A
Reliable all day done sever track days and plenty road driving. More than enough go
You can't beat N/A for noise,response or smile factor
Can highly recommend Paul at Dunnell, Dave at Emerald and Matt at Simpson
[Edited on 3/6/15 by matt5964]
No one has suggested one of my favourite engines - a tvr ajp8!
Very small and relatively light for a v8, 350-420hp all day, free t5 gearbox. Can be had for around £3-4k.
Woukd spund epic in a seven as well.
There is also the m3 straight six as fittec to the Gkd legend, this will stretch the budget though.
Hi Davey D
thats exactly what i am doing, lucky for me its in a luego viento, so plenty of room in the engine bay. Engine untouched apart from a clean, paint, X
type sump, new cam cover and sump gaskets.

Do you have a build blog ot website for the luego jag v6. I have a mate whi is putting one in a reliant scimitar who would be interested.
Hi Ugg 10
Sorry, no blog or website, happy to answer any questions and help in any way, he can U2U me or I can supply an email if he is not on this site. Happy
building everyone

I would beg to differ....
I understand the N/A is best and you can't use more than 10BHP in a lightweight car on the road attitudes but....how many of the people with these attitudes have driven a high power Rotrex car? I'm not talking Turbos with large torque spikes which spit you off the road but the endless linear push you get from a Rotrex.

And I would be tempted to say
novice driver + lots of power + undeveloped car = death wish
Me lol
^^^definately not the dead novice at the bottom
I do agree with Paul to some extent,in the fact that endless power is not always the answer to a fast car! Like he says,the top bike engined guys are
very very fast with modearate power.
But on the flip side,not everyone has the same views and there is no correct answer as its personal. Jeff w's car will out drag most things in a
straight line,and sounds epic at the same time. But on the hills probably wouldn't be 'at home' so to speak. Which is probably why he
doesn't do them!
There is an element of weight involved as well. A 'good' BEC Westfield or Striker will be close to 400Kg and kick out not far off 200BHP.
Mine is 630Kg and 397BHP so on short tight circuits I would lose out to a BEC but, at circuits like Goodwood, Combe or Hethel the Phoenix has an aero
advantage and the extra power comes into play.
So light nimble cars do best at tight circuits and hillclimbs and lardy fast (epic sounding) cars do best on open fast circuits...who knew !

You should write a book in it Jeff! Sure to be a best seller
just remember I'm the top bidder on your auction sonny Jim....less of the cheek !
I was serious! Teach these boys what power can do!

Never said it was argument.
Yours cert looks a different kettle of fish from your videos.
What box are you using?
Quaife 60G
Nice, does that allow you to flat shift. Do you need ecu intervention for that
The box itself doesn't but you can add electronics which senses the position of the potentiometer barrel and therefore 'sees' when you
change gear. This event is then sent the ECU which will retard the ignition and thus allows flatshifting.
I have a Geartronics on the car but it is not wired yet so I am lifting the throttle slightly to change up.
The thing i've found with a rotrex compared to turbos or positive displacment type superchargers (Eaton's etc) is the engine runs and drives
just like a more powerful/larger NA engine. The engine has exactly the same rev range and characteristics but with a lot more power everywhere.
As for how much power is to much, i think it's more important on how the engine delivers the power in a light weight car. 'Big' power
is fine so long as the engine is smooth/tractable and there's no big jumps (such as with a small engine, big turbo and loads of lag) along the
way in the power delivery.
Ian
this is exactly my point. Max power is at max revs and torque just keeps on rising

Crikey Rotrex chargers aint half expensive though, TTS want close to a grand just for the brackets and pulleys
You where expecting to build a car for £250 then? It is a fair price for the amount of R&D and manufacturing that goes into it. Of course I'm sure you could do it cheaper.....
As with many things in this hobby, the cost all depends on what you can do yourself. I only bought the supercharger kit itself (charger, pipes, oil
cooler, filter..) and then made my own mounts/pulleys/pipework/intake etc.
Ian
ROTREX, its the only way to go
Vauxhall Z20LET will go to 300bhp easily. Mines 272bhp and 309ft/lb torque
Relatively cheap and much easier to fit into a 7 than the Saab motor.
View the link in my signature for build thread
Loving the Rotrex charger in mine. The linear power delivery isn't spikes at all and helps get the power down in the 20v 4AGE.
I'm "only" running at 248bhp which is more than enough for general road use and can't really see myself adding any more.
As said before, they aren't cheap but they are incredibly good value
A lot of the torque issues with turbo set ups are to do with sizing the turbo and controlling boost as it comes in . I've gone over to a ball
bearing blower and have boost linked to rpm and throttle position to avoid huge torque issues . At somewhere like blyton I'm around the same
performance in a straight line as the quick lightweight sevens with 450hp and 880kg . Round corners is another matter but I enjoy myself .
From what I've seen the sevens with over 250hp seem to have a harder time connecting it to the Tarmac than the bike engined stuff
Hey guys just thought i would add in my thoughts here and actually post up for the first time in a few years.
I am surprised that no one has yet mentioned the 1UZFE lexus V8 engine.
Yes its a little on the large side especially at the heads with the quad cam but Ls400s can be had for c.£400 making the engine pretty much free.
The engine is 250-275bhp unopened and once you put some decent headers on it making it flow better expect more power. The torque is also pretty
good.
Down side is the slush box but if Auto is not your thing then conversions with the W85 or R154 even the Toyota V160/161 have been achieved although i
wouldnt suggested trying to get your hands on a V160 series as they are pricey!
If you want to destroy your rear tyres you can even add a turbo with pretty much stock everything else and the ECU and jets will happily run 6/7psi of
boost without upgrades.
seems like a locost choice really.
my chassis is slightly different to a normal 7 type as the straight run from the rear to front taper is around 10" longer than normal which gives
a little more room at the front to get the heads in

Just a thought 220bhp in my Super six feels like more than enough. On the roads 1st gear has to be fed in and second will leave you spinning if you keep your foot flat. So that really only leaves the last 3 gears of which you would be well over 80 in third gear within a few seconds of leaving second gear.
What I'm trying to say is 220bhp in my 600kg car is seriously quick and more power would mean just pressing the gas pedal less or spinning the wheels more.
I really think this Duratec 215bhp package is a great deal, brand new engine, ECU ready mapped all the sensors throttle bodies etc ready to just bolt in for 7k plus VAT
http://omextechnology.co.uk/Omex%20Duratec%20VVC%20MZR%20Engine%20v1_0.pdf
Obviously it could be done cheaper with a second hand engine etc
Just another option to think about
Paul
I agree it does depend on setup.
Currently on 888s protect double adjustable and installed and corner weighted by Northampton motor sports. My main thought is the diff which I intend
to install one of the atb variants later this year.
Honestly, with the power you have in your kit do you ever manage to keep your foot to the floor on a road for more than 3 seconds? I manage little
squirts but the speed builds up so quick I end up backing off. Obvs in straight lines on dual carriage ways it might be different but I'm talking
about nice driving type roads.

Currently on 888s protect double adjustable and installed and corner weighted by Northampton motor sports. My main thought is the diff which I intend to install one of the atb variants later this year.
Honestly, with the power you have in your kit do you ever manage to keep your foot to the floor on a road for more than 3 seconds? I manage little squirts but the speed builds up so quick I end up backing off. Obvs in straight lines on dual carriage ways it might be different but I'm talking about nice driving type roads.
