Morspeed Engines any experience with them?
Turbo Mini Forums

Hello,

I was looking at the engine rebuild offered by Morspeed and they do a turbo built engine for £650 (just short engine) with hardened crank, center strap and turbo cam etc

Also 11cc domed out pistons.

for the money seems quite good but then again not all top quality components. I would rather build one myself but just weighing prices against building own.

Are these any good or just cheap engine components and not too strong.

I will be running between 12-20psi boost as it's just a weekend road or trackday car so looking to squeeze max out of it.

any help appreciated

Ha ha ha. Seriously do a search, all will be revealed.

Can of worms: check.
Can opener: check.

gave me a friday giggle

anyone ever seen a so called morespeed engine?

Yes i moved to the darkside

Has anyone on here had any good dealings with him? Has anyone heard from him recently?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I'd be worried if he was supplying domed pistons. Domes point upwards, might give you clearance issues with the head

Perhaps he is selling 'Doomed' pistons. That would make sense.

the man is a cunt, and a thief.

Avoid at ALL COSTS.

You have been warned :)

check out some of the guys on this site who build engines, Turbophil and Benross both do great engines at very decent prices....

i rthought hed been taken to court and told the judge he wasnt running that company any more ?

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

Well he updated his website on the 31st May so somebody is telling fibs.

Sadly I am sure Simon has been taken to court and lost many more time than we know. Unfortunately the small claims court can only issue CCJs. They can not enforce payment. So even though he has CCJs against him he still probably owes the money and continues to trade.

Which is unfortunate for people who may be taken in by his seemingly bargain prices.

Yours?

Doesnt JF have a morspeed sticker on his rocker box?

As did nick .lol

Nick, do tell us about the engine youve seen! Lol

Thanks for the replies and yes I meant dished >_<

I will take the cunt and thief comment and stay well clear pmsl.

I will probably just get mine machined and rebuild myself but when you look at price of decent pistons, rods, crank regrind with hardening etc the price catches up with buying a short block!

I mean I can skim my own heads and machine off cap for centre strap etc on mill and machine down valve guides on lathe etc but boring and line boring are well beyond my kits capability.

OK will steer clear and thanks for decent heads up. When I saw that many replies so quick I knew it had to bad lol

If you've got the skills, I would build your own. I've had a hand in building up a couple of engines now and it's not too difficult. You just need to take your time and be methodical about it.

At least that way you know exactly what's gone into it and the standard the work was done to.

ask stretch on this forum, JUST to name one gent! who had a BAD misfortune

i have just built him a good engine.

if you require a wheel barrow wheel changing them maybe?......LMAO

yes
simon built me a so called 1380 trackday engine, the stage 5 head was spot on, however after building the engine, i had a lot of problems starting it, i eventually bought a highpower starter motor and got the engine running, after 100 miles i took it to dave at bogg bross for a rolling road. after about 10 min dave informed me that their was something wrong with the engine, it was leaking oil internally. he recommended dave walker race engines at gainsborough, i took the engine out and went to dave walker, he informed me that the engine had been rebored to 1380 but it had not been honed, concequently the pistons were jamming in the bores, most of the threads had not been cut properly, concequently the block was completely useless. i had to get a new block and have the engine rebuilt. however on a different note :steve (benross) has delivered my new engine this week, the quality and attention to detail is in a different league. i cannot fault the build or quality in any way. if you need anything doing , i would go with steve everytime

Its a shame really,
Mr Moore is obiously capable, sadly he couldn't run a piss up in a brewery...

yep.

i was sold cracked block, cracked head and mismatched pistons.
won in court, but you know!!
