BC gearbox rebuilds and RS2000

Sitech Racing has just completed 2 BC box rebuilds to include new baulking rings, gaskets and seals, which have been fitted to the corisponding customer cars.

We also have just received a RS2000 with a Fibresports X-pack kit. This is going to be a big project as the car is only just a rolling shell at the moment.

Focus Duratec 2.0. We have just made and fitted one of our custom inlet manifolds on this engine, results have been very good, making the engine rev more freely.

Escort Cosworth. This has been a fairly in depth mod, they have include fitting a Gotech Pro-X on a 36-1 trigger wheel, the car also runs launch control. We have fitted new uprated fuel pump new Fuel Lab filter and Turbosmart pressure reg. The car also has had one of our new inlet manifolds fitted with RC injection 750cc fuel injectors.

Haltech Sports 2000 ECU for Skyline R33 has been delivered just waiting to get it fitted and mapped.

Nissan Pulsar head. We have fully stripped and ported a SR20DET cylinder head for an ongoing project, next job is to strip the engine.

Nissan Skylines with Haltech ECU and rebuilt engines

Over the last few week, we have been busy with a pair of Nissan Skyline GTR33.

Both of them are having a complete engine rebuilds, one is staying twin turbo been built to 550bhp spec and the other is going full spec to run a GT42 single turbo, to push it into the 700+bhp.

The Underground Graphics GTO was on the dyno a couple of weeks ago where it recorded 538bhp at 20psi of boost, which should be fine to use as a daily drive.

The Escort Cosworth is nearly complete with its new Turbosmart fuel system, uprated fuel pump, Sitech Racing plenum and Gotech ECU.

Sold and dispatched 2 more Sitech Racing inlet manifolds one for a Focus Duratec 150ps and another for a Escort RS turbo.
