CLEVER KIT FROM WEBCON

For years, Weber 55DCO/SP carburettors have only been available as LH and RH units, with the outer throttle shaft ends blanked-off. This works well with a conventional distributor ignition system but, as mapped ignition systems have become more widely used, thus the demand for a throttle position sensor fitment on the 55DCO/SP has grown. In response to this demand Webcon has developed a new, Unified 55DCO/SP that features throttle shaft at both ends of the carburettor and allows for fitment of a Webcon DCO/SP throttle position sensor kit. Part number 1970000700 can be used for LH or RH fitment, and More >

LOTS OF POWER POTENTIAL

Turbos are one of the easiest and most effective ways to add horsepower to your engine and those gains can be improved by adding a DEI ONYX Series™ Turbo Shield.

The Turbo Shield will help maintain consistent temperature in the turbo to maximise efficiency and minimise turbo lag. Building on the popularity of DEI’s ONYX Series, DEI is now introducing the ONYX Series Black Turbo Shield for smaller-sized turbos including Garrett®, Mitsubishi® and others.

The shield is available for the GT22 (part #010161) or the GT25 (part #010163), or as a kit: GT22 Kit (part #010162) or GT25 (part #010164). For correct More >

ZENOS SAY ‘R’…

The brand new rangetopping Zenos E10 the ‘R’ has been announced this week featuring a new powerplant – the Ford-sourced turbocharged 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine, which uses a bespoke ECU developed with Zenos’ partner Specialist Components to deliver 40 per cent more power (350bhp) and 19 per cent more torque (349lb/ft). Thanks to a power-to-weight figure of 500 bhp/tonne, the Zenos E10 R delivers very pleasing performance.

The engine’s responsiveness is further heightened by a lightened flywheel assembly and newly-developed three-inch diameter exhaust system. The latter also delivers a purposeful exhaust note, which leaves no uncertainty about the elevated levels of performance More >

NICE GEAR

NO MORE SOCK JOKES!

Performance filtration specialist Pipercross has the perfect solution for anybody wishing to run carbs or throttle bodies on their race, road or off-road vehicle, but needs to keep things neat and compact; the Universal Trumpet Sock range!

Sold in pairs, or as a double stack version, these versatile little filters fit over the vast majority of velocity stacks and inlet pipes, simply dropping over the top and gripping thanks to the inherent tension in the foam. In instances where more security of fitment is needed, a simple cable tie around the base secures the sock firmly, ready to take on the More >

TORQUE-ING LASER RATCHETS

These new digital torque ratchets are designed to secure fasteners that need to be tightened to lower torque figures and when therefore over-tightening is a real risk. Smaller in length than a full sized torque wrench, they give a convenient and functional solution to this risk of over-tightening.

The ¼in drive model (part number 6207) is a compact 200mm long and covers the range 6-30Nm (4.4-22.1 ft/lb); the 3/8in drive model (part number 6206) is 230mm long and ranges between 16-80Nm (11.8-59 ft/lb); the ½in drive model (part number 6205) is 275mm long and ranges between 20-100Nm (14.8-73lb/ft).

EIGHT-PACK FROM KAMASA

This useful eight-piece socket set from Kamasa has a big advantage — the tapered internal socket design grips the fastener securely without the use of magnets — no more lost nuts or bolts into the depths of the engine bay again!

Simply push the fastener into the socket — it is held in the base of the socket — then smoothly releases when the fastener has been tightened in place.

Supplied on a handy socket rail, the eight sizes are 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 17mm and 19mm.

Manufactured from chrome vanadium for strength and fully polished, these will be the only More >

NICE NEW ‘BODY’ FOR DURATEC

Jenvey Dynamics has announced the launch of a new direct-to-head individual throttle body (ITB) for the 2.5-litre Ford Duratec engine. The innovative new set-up has been engineered so that the injectors are seated beneath the throttle body, negating the need for an overhead fuel rail: ideal for use in restricted engine bays or where low level bonnets can cause packaging problems.

“We are proud of our track record for carefully considered innovation, and have identified a need for a modular, high-quality direct-to-head ITB kit for the 2.5-litre Ford Duratec engine,” said Jenvey Dynamics Ltd. managing director, Mike Jenvey.

“The direct-to-head Duratec throttle More >
