Fair enough, do you know how they differ and what would the ballpark figure be if the customer has a base engine?

A jp4 engine is around £250? That's probably around 2% of the total build cost

The race TB's are slightly larger and matched to the head, if you read through Sandys posts over the last few pages he pretty much covers everything for you

That's shocked me, about £12500 for the engine is a lot less than what I thought it would be!

Exactly, its a bargain when you consider the work that goes into making an engine that no other engine builder in the Uk can achieve

Its great what Sandy is doing but ive also seen very interesting figures from people in the Rally community (especially over in ireland).

I cant really see there being much more room for improvement from these engines mind. We are probably as close to the max figures we will ever see.

Are you referring to the JRE engines that are in Ireland?

I'd imagine we are heading towards the maximum figure, but Sandys still striving for even better so you never know. There's about 5% between the RR figure and what the engines actualy capable of on the Engine dyno - I plan to open up the scuttle slightly to allow better air flow to the middle two cylinders and see if that helps

Theres a few independents that have got good power.

Its a shame that QEP and everything went to shit, as the dyno testing they were doing with Dave from Pumaspeed was proving very interesting.

No scuttle FTW
