Mike Bamfords New Bowtie Syclone Engine

[S2V6RACER]

The Syclone engine is down at the shop and we were just having a meeting going over some of the details of the project before we get it dropped back in the truck. It is a DLS built Bowtie V6 with BigStuff 3 engine management with COP ignition and traction control. The truck has AWD and is used mostly on the street. We are shooting for the 8's this season. We are looking into bolting on a new Garrett 47/88 turbo but it's going to be a big job fitting it in there.

We are going to be having a custom air/air intercooler built by Paul Thompson, these trucks are hard to fit big intercoolers so this is going to be a real custom build.

I will post up progress pictures when they are available.

Nice, that looks very similar to the one that Mike Callahan has in his twin turbo RWD Syclone.:wink:

The tranny is a Rossler prepped 210-TH-400. We have great luck with Rossler, never lost a race/point series and hurt a thrust bearing because of a tranny failure with his stuff.


I have heard about Callahans engine. This should be just as good if not better.

The street driven will be the easy part. It's going to take some work to get the 8, but we know we have the power to do it.

That is an absolute beautiful piece of work there Ted. Best of luck.

I currently have the motor out of the typhoon that i bought last fall. I bought it knowing that it need a motor but turned out that it broke the crank right after the frist rod on the crank with under 70K on it. i wish i have that motor to put back into it. What crank do you have in that motor?

 

[S2V6RACER]

The crank is a Moldex piece.
