MG MGF Technical - New Engine

Just had my new engine fitted at Tech-speed. Unfortunately I can't pick up the car until Saturday because they are fitting the newly developed suspension and brake package today. The new engine is a development between them and Engine Developments (of F1 fame) during the past year and is 2.1 capacity producing 245 bhp at 9000rpm. When Roy at Tech-speed told me last year when they were fixing my HGF that they were working on this engine I said I would have one. It has MTBs new ECU titanium crank and carbon fibre conrods. Unfortunately it has also meant a new LSD gearbox and driveshafts and of course brakes and suspension! Tech-speed have said wheelspin is a bit of a problem and rear tyre life could be short - but who cares. Will let you know how I get on.

Unfortunatly my ar*e !

Sounds like it will be a real killer on the roads - how long do you have to run it in for?
Will Munns

about 1 day I would imagine!

Probably means new seats, full harness and a G suit. Are there any details for this engine?

I assume that Loof Lirpa was involved in designing the con rods...
