A cup of tea, a chocolate biscuit, and a few moments to down tools and have a read through a lovely article on MCE in this months Porsche Post magazine. Can't wait to see what I get up to in the workshop when I'm not 'posting content on my socials' 🤣🤣🤣

And next out of the MCE bespoke engine build workshop: The MCE 'Carrera 3.4 Twin-Plug' engine.

If you're concerned that your standard Carrera 3.2 engine feels, well, let's face it, a bit lazy and industrial, here is the answer:
- Based on a standard Carrera 3 2 crankcase, but with Carillo rods, Mahle motorsports 3.4 HC pistons and cylinders, twin-sparked and gasflowed heads, MCE custom-grind camshaft, SSI exhaust, modified Motronic intake and software tune, with additional signal drivers for the 964/993 twin-plug distributor, you get the fast yet strong and powerful road engine that you should have had in the first place, but Porsche couldn't quite afford to build until the 964/993 came along 😀

Putting the finishing touches to the 964 3.8RS build. Custom ECU to drive all the updated hardware and optimise fuel and spark to get the best out of the engine. It makes a pleasant change to be developing the tune with a laptop from the driver's seat and not going back and forth with screwdrivers and spanners in the engine bay. This technology might just catch on, and the car really flies now 😆

Dyno test day today. Exploring the merits of alternative cam profiles and the influence (or lack of) of switchable exhaust systems, with some very interesting results.

1965 912 build in Ch*****ne Yellow coming together nicely. Good to see it rolling again as it heads into the next stage of re-assembly.

Yep, it flies!
A successful day yesterday with the '65 2.0 cup car, shaking-down the MCE Solex race engine build at Goodwood circuit. Building a race car with an early 2L engine on Solex carbs to run like this, at the limit, lap after lap, is no easy feat, and I'd be first to admit, requires a level engineering tenacity only discoverable after many long hours in the workshop. So it is with great pleasure when I occasionally actually get to enjoy the fruits of my labours, from behind the wheel (insert 'pats himself on the back' emoji here 😁).
