Does anyone have any contacts at Cosworth? I have just aquired an EX Champion RS4 engine and would like to talk to someone at the factory. I'd like to validate the fact that it is truly a hand built race engine and get some documentation from them. (If possible)

Just for giggles what do you all think it would be worth??

Thanks Much for any help

What does ex champion mean?

Stock engines cost around 11k

Champion Racing Comp S4 engine. I'm told it was built by Cosworth in their race shop. Fully balanced and blueprinted, ported polished, fully kitted out.

Champion Racing in the USA?
They were using the RS4 engines in S4 for a short while, until they started racing the RS6

Bingo Mr. Roberts
I have managed to aquire one of the spare engines and would like to know if anyone here has any contacts/friends that work at Cosworth and can help me find out more about this engine.

Thanks Again for any help

give tombs a pm..u never no...

What are the specs for this ex champion engine?

I've been told that this one made 500hp at the crank. It is supposed to be a SPEC built meaning stock engine but as we all know in the world of racing stock has many different interpetations.

Just call them direct, they are very approachable people, I only know the marketing guys there (Jog and Sarah), try 0870 157 3013.

I could ask a friend who used to work on the production line at Cosworth in Worcester where our engines were produced.
Does it have any alloy block?
I think there were a few produced with alloy blocks for racing.

Thanks Much Everyone will give them a shout and post the serial #'s here next week. The engine will be in my hands on Monday I can't wait.

wotcha gonna do wif it falcon?

My plan is to put it my 01.5 S4 Avant, but it my prove to be a real pain in the arse. I have to find some software to get the power out of it. Are tuners in the UK as mush of a pain to deal with as the US? I've talked to several that say they can do it but the price changes each time or they will not call back.

So it may come up for sale again, after I check it out and confirm it's in good shape.
11K for a new one is that pounds or dollars, complete or long block???

Thanks
Mike

11K for a new one is that pounds or dollars,

pounds mike

complete or long block???

dony know wot that means Im afraid but the price above is for the whole engine

Engine showed up today Wooo Hoo..

Long block is heads and block, no turbos, intake or accessories.

ASJ heads on a AZR block intake is modified for drive by cable probably won't need that. Going to get it up on an engine stand tomorrow and run a leakdown to check it out.
