/Threadjack Austen - that flywheel is a work of art! I take it it's a custom piece...billet? As I said in my first post, I fear you're not going to find 5-pot NA tuning gurus here. The relatively few people here who have high-power whiteblocks are all turbo enthusiasts, and you can get ~500bhp with just the addition of beefy rods and forged pistons. Some of the things you need to do for NA power just aren't necessary (as soon) when dealing with boost. I think you're on exactly the right lines with asking race teams, etc. I have some contacts in that world, but no-one who deals with Volvo engines. cheers James

Hi Austen
If you haven't found out yet, the BTCC engines were developed at TWR by a guy called Charlie Bamber. He is currently MD of Menard Competition Technologies. The first BTCC engines produced about 260 bhp, but this guy altered the heads by machining the cam carriers off and remaking them as billet bolt on items, allowing the followers to be increased to 36mm dia so a more lift could be used on the cams, (about .825in on the inlet). The head face was also machined on the angle to alter the attitude of the ports to the chamber. (All of this was driven by the BTCC regs) . Using 13.5 :1 cr, this setup produced about 325 bhp. Hope this is helpful. I'm not a Volvo engine expert, it's just coincidence that the story of the head is in this months Racecar engineering. Looks like a great project - nice to see something other than Duratecs. All the best Graham Hill |
