Press Release - Duratec Engine
The final details of the Duratec engine package are now confirmed for prospective engine builders.
SRD, who have been involved from the start of the project, have available most of the parts necessary for a Duratec build, as detailed below.
The inlet manifold will sell for £175.00 plus VAT. It is designed to be compatible with the standard type Ford Pinto throttle linkage so will accept HCD and Randall alternatives. They have a fully fabricated sump with separate windage tray, powder coated, as used on the BriSCA F2 test engine and comes with oil pickup tube available for £225.00 plus VAT. SRD are also working on a water rail which will be a rigid tube similar to ones available for the Zetec to bring the top hose connection from the rear of the cylinder head to the front.
SRD are assembling a kit of parts which will be available to convert a Duratec with everything you need apart from the ECU. The kit will include; manifold, carb, air filter, water rail, water pump drive belt & tensioner, sump, flywheel, clutch, fixings & cams. The cams will have correct sizing so that no re-shimming will be required when they are installed and will work really well with the standard 10.8 compression ratio. The kit should be available for around £1500.00 plus VAT.
The BriSCA F2 laser cut restrictor plate will be available from SRD as part of the kit or IG Racing at £4.10 plus VAT.
The ORCi approved steel flywheel, which will suit Pinto or Duratec is available from Turbosport at £125 plus VAT complete with integral ring gear.
The ECU will be available from BriSCA F2 office, and is priced at £258 plus VAT, plus £98 for the wiring harness. All ECU records will be kept by BriSCA F2, and this unit will not be available from any other source.
