 Renault 4 cyl
Renault 4 cyl
  We have designed and developed the 3.0lt. Nissan V6, used in the  Maxima saloon, specifically for the SR 2 class in the SportsRacing World  Cup and Grand-Am series.
In its production form, the engine has a particularly good basic design, the  block and the heads are ideally suited for modification to a competition  engine.
Our design incorporates :-
  •  A new dry sump incorporating the lower main bearings, stiffening the block. This allows the engine to be used as a stressed member.
  •  A new inlet manifold with roller throttles that acts as the base for the air box.
  •  A scavenge pump system mounted directly on the sump.
It is intended by the organising body of the series that the 38mm restrictor limits the engine power to 350/360hp. We find that we do not have any trouble in reaching these figures.

The engine has been designed to be capable of completing a 24 hr. race; with that in mind, the rebuild life can be safely extended to 4000km. But to keep the engine at its optimum, it is probably necessary to rebuild it at shorter intervals, ideally every 4/5 races. If you ignore 24hr races, this means one rebuild per season.

During the 99 season, the development engine completed 4500km of racing and testing, without a rebuild. The engine was put back on the test bed at 3500km and the power was found to be the same or better than when new.

Results during the 1999 season, were excellent. Two 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd places, giving us second position in the drivers championship. In the 2001 season results were, Three 1st, three 2nd and a two 3rd places. The Redman Bright car winning the world championship.

IES can provide engineering support during the season and will carry spare engines to the races. If required, this engine can be leased on a per km basis.
