Our Custom Engine Building Process

Building a custom engine is a precise, detailed process, and we take great care in every step to ensure your engine performs at its best. From choosing the right components to fine-tuning every detail, we are committed to delivering top-quality results.

  1. Consultation and Goal Setting We start by discussing your performance goals, vehicle use, and budget. Whether you’re aiming for a specific horsepower target or building an engine for endurance racing, we’ll recommend the best components and setup for your application.

  2. Engine Design and Part Selection Based on your goals, we’ll design the engine blueprint and hand-pick every part, from the block and crankshaft to the pistons, cams, and cylinder heads. We source high-quality components from trusted brands to ensure reliability and performance.

  3. Precision Assembly Our team will meticulously assemble your engine in-house. Every step is performed with precision, from balancing and blueprinting to final assembly, ensuring your engine is built to the highest standards.

  4. Dyno Testing and Tuning After assembly, we put the engine through rigorous dyno testing to validate its performance. We fine-tune everything to ensure maximum power, reliability, and efficiency.

  5. Final Installation If requested, we can handle the installation of your custom-built engine in your vehicle, including any required modifications and adjustments.
