Building your own flat-plane "P65" engine

[John_Panther]

I'm hoping this service will be available to consumers. I'll order it right away!

Send me a PM and I'll put you in touch with the right people. They are in your area.

Here's a small update. The engine was sent to the UK for Syvecs + tuning. The engine arrived in the UK about 3-weeks ago. The tuning is scheduled for end of August.

Whats the P65 crank weight vs S65 crank?

[coop75]

Any more news?

It could have been done at my own shop (Auto Talent) in Gardena also. The issue was accessing an engine dyno. The owner wanted an engine dyno.
Nobody here stateside had the engine dyno harnesses and adapter plates for an S65. Dinan has them, but they don't have their engine dyno set up after they moved locations a few years ago. Then there was the issue of cost. Bert says it was literally cheaper to ship the engine to the UK that do the tuning here even with somebody who had the engine dyno stuff.

But I feel ya. Once the engine comes back, we'll put it in Bert's car and strap it on our Dynapack dyno. Feel free to come by then. :-)

I am! I'm not sure if the E90 is going to be a forever car like my 993, but it's exciting to know that there's a viable option to build out a 4-door Euro GT350 in the future.

I'm in the UK and would love to listen to it on the dyno! but I don't know where in the UK it is, aside from anything else.

A slight delay while the racing shop upgrades their engine dyno. Hoping for only a 30-day delay...but could be longer.

Howell Racing.

Thanks , not sure how they'll respond to a request to listen to the engine though!
The one in Wisbech? If so, damn that's miles away (I was hoping it'd be closer, lol, oh well).

Btw, random question, do you know the company Ed Pinks? (in the US, not sure of spelling).

The address is in Gorefield, but that appears to be very close to Wisbech.

Nope, never heard of them even though they are only 30 miles away.

I believe Ed Pink builds engines for Singer.

[Assimilator1]

Whose Singer? (sowing machines aside! )

Someone I know thinks they could provide the service you needed for the P65, though we didn't discuss costs. Rather mute at this point anyway.

(Seems I have the right company, they don't have their own website outside of FB. Anyway, a 2.5hr drive is rather too much for my liking ).

Europeans are odd. Growing up on the prairies, we used to drive 2 hours each way to watch a movie after school on a Friday.

Hell, we would to drive 6 hours each way to visit friends for a weekend.

Odd indeed.

Odd indeed.

Hence you ended up in an M3, to get to the destination faster...

Well I guess if that was the nearest cinema to you, then you had no choice.
I drive 3-4hrs to visit my sister for the weekend, I would probably drive 6hrs too to visit friends or family for the weekend (though I wouldn't be keen on it! lol).
I had to do an 8hr round trip to view my 330d, and again when I decided to buy it (which turned into a 12hr round trip thanks to bad traffic all the way up!!). So yea I'm willing to drive far where needed, or worthwhile, but I'm not willing to do a 5hr round trip to listen to a (cool!) engine for 10-30mins?

Also the US has much cheaper fuel than us (even if the gap has shrunk a bit?), currently diesel is ~£1.35/ltr and petrol ~£1.33, = £5.13/£5.05 per US Gallon, which apparently is $7.06/$6.95 per US gallon. Last time I went to France (~2yrs ago), petrol was quite a bit more and diesel was cheaper.
True that my 330d is quite economical at an average of ~43 UK MPG (~36 US MPG), but still, cost is a factor (hence my M3 is a weekend car btw).

Well that was a much longer post than I anticipated! lol
How much is fuel in the US atm?
