Testimonial for a Magnus Motor, Worlds fastest Time Attack Eclipse FWD 700hp, Bulletproof Reliability
July 28th, 2010What makes Magnus Motorsports stand out above the rest? Well to start Magnus motors come standard With what our competitors have as “upgrades” for their motors. We can sit here and talk about our motors all day but I thought we should share an email we recieved from somebody well known in the time attack scene, Andrew Brilliant. Andrew is running a Magnus Motorsports design 2.4 liter long rod stroker motor with our specially designed rods and pistons that come standard in all of our motors. Enjoy!
Marco,
I just wanted to mail to say thank you again. I can now proudly say that after 3 seasons in racing I have the perfect engine. I was at the end of my sanity 6 engines into my development process to the tune of nearly $60,000 in labor and parts. Engine after engine failed under the rigors of land speed and road course racing. It seemed that no parts on the market were strong enough and no assembler skilled enough to put it together. My favorite thing to do is show up at a race and ask the domestic guys how much power and torque they are making. Nobody ever believes that my little 4 cylinder has nearly equal power to torque and just shy of 700whp. I had to back those numbers up on two different dynos and I carry those sheets with me. My driver raves about the torque and response, my crew chief loves that he never has to touch the engine race after race and my pocket book is happy as well.
The icing on the cake: After two years of brutal land speed racing, two dozen top speed runs in 120F+ temperatures and 60 second dyno pulls at sustained high RPM (we’ve melted dynos!). We left the same engine in it, reinvented the car showed up on the road course and set lap records at every track we ran on. Late in the season we decided to do a tear down, that motor had seen some years. The compression was still perfect but it was a good measure. My machinist called me and told me that everything in that engine was perfect, no bearing wear, no signs of abuse, it was ready to go on and race another season. The final testament, we are still running the same engine today. I have a cabinet full of placards and trophies that were not possible without you. Thank you.
