What we do

FORGED ENGINE BUILDS

Your engine is designed to handle a certain amount of power from the factory. Adding a lot more power increases the strain placed on your engine internals, which could lead to catastrophic failure. A forged engine build refers to strengthening the internals, by replacing the factory components with forged or upgraded ones which are designed to handle more load and power. An engine build can consist of upgrading the following:
• Forged Pistons
• Forged Connecting Rods
• High Performance Bearings
• Head, Main and Conrod bolts
• Valves, Valve Springs and Retainers
• Camshafts
• Porting and Flowing of the Cylinder Head

Our 20+ years of experience in building race-winning engines has provided us with the necessary knowledge and data to provide you with the correct components and precision assembly to reach your power goals reliably.

Cylinder Head Porting

Cylinder head porting refers to the process of modifying the intake and exhaust ports, as well as the combustion chamber of the cylinder head to increase air flow. The factory cylinder head is designed for a specific power level or turbo size. This leaves power on the table when trying to force more air through the engine, for example when fitting a larger turbo or camshafts. Porting the head provides the opportunity to re-engineer the airflow paths entering and exiting the combustion chamber. The shape, size and finish are optimized for higher power and rpm. Whether on a daily or race car, we can port your cylinder head to get maximum airflow.

BUILT WITH PURPOSE

Street and Drag

We’ve built plenty of engines that are used both as a daily and abused regularly at the Drag Strip. So, we understand the complexity of finding the balance needed to have a high horsepower daily that can win races at the Drag strip. If you want a built motor that can do it all, we’ve got you covered.

“ Street and road race engines are basically identical “

BUILT WITH PURPOSE

CIRCUIT

In Circuit Racing, we all want an engine that can do it all: handle all the horsepower with throw at it, while taking lap after lap of high rpm abuse. The basics are similar to the street/drag setup, however our experience from track racing make us focus more on improving lubrication and thermal management. Oil pump and sump modifications to increase and maintain oil flow helps protect the engine at high rpm and high lateral G-Force. Controlling heat is key to a reliable track car: cooling modifications such as oil coolers, intercoolers and upgraded radiators help keep thermal management at an optimum. Provide us with your goals and we will provide the solutions

Endurance and road race engines will be using steel connecting rods rather than aluminum and will be using lightweight components. Clearances will also be on the tight end.

THE RIGHT PARTS FROM THE START

You already know the general consensus says to upgrade those pistons, rods, and cylinders as well as most of the moving bits up top, but there are still two ways things can go terribly wrong for you: picking inferior parts or sloppy assembly. Cheaper parts may compromise on quality control, materials and tolerances. We only use trusted brands, combined with expert machining and assembled to the highest standards, ensuring that all clearances and tightening torques are within spec.

“We’ve found most customers feel they need big, bad, bulky, closed-deck sleeves in their blocks because they ‘appear stronger.
