274hp Peugeot 205 Maxi Rally Car - BTCC Touring Car Engine Install - Initial Startup

After 2 months of preparation, this was the first time we started the engine. The trumpets and carbon airbox had not been fitted at this stage.

It came as a complete package (fully rebuilt / tweaked) from Longmans and was one of the actual engines used in the Vic Lee 306 BTCC cars back in 2001/02.

Fresh off their engine dyno at 274bhp - although a bit of "on road" mapping was required post installation to fine tune the map and iron out a few flat spots.

"initial startup" is the very first time we fired her up after the basic install. As has been said she is running Jenvey throttle boddies but at this stage we hadn't fitted the air trumpets or carbon airbox.

Hopefully out on the stages again later this year but the new shell prep is taking longer than expected.

The full spec is based around a Gti6 motor and is an original works 2001 BTCC motor from the Peugeot factory team - run by Vic Lee Racing.

It has a billet crank, forged rods, custom pistons, full race head with titanium valves, billet cams, solid lifters, jenvey throttle boddies, longmans 4 branch manifold, twin plate clutch, billet flywheel, stand alone ecu system - total cost new today is in excess of £17k (with the ecu).

Thanks for all the great comments, to anyone who doesn't believe...that's cool...your choice.

Give Richard Longman a call who built my engine (along with most of the other original Peugeot btcc motors) - he will politely tell you where to go!

It idles nicely on full race cams due to the stand alone EFI Technoligies management system - again supplied/installed and setup by Richard.

Full race cams are only a pig at idle when running a basic carbs/ignition setup - not a

2k+ ecu!

Im sure its fuel injected being BTCC as injection is more efficient but looking at it, you might be right there...
