** Official Press Release **
Team Falken UK signs engine supply deal with Mazworx
Hemel Hempstead, Buckinghamshire (United Kingdom) 15 August 2012
Team Falken UK has agreed a sponsorship deal with Mazworx, maker of the world’s most
powerful SR20 engines. The agreement is to initially supply a custom specification engine
for Alan Green’s S13 and is open ended to allow fellow Team Falken drivers Paul Cheshire
and Matt Carter access to similar world beating equipment should the need arise.
Mazworx, based in Florida, USA, will manufacture and build the engine, based on a S13
block, although that is where the similarity from the stock engine ends. The block will
undergo the Mazworx step decking process. Similar to a resurface, step decking involves
machining a unique stepped profile into the block that ensures complete head to block
gasket sealing under the most extreme pressures and temperatures. CP are custom
making pistons to a Mazworx specification which will be retained by Carrillo conrods and
run inside Darton sleeves. Rounding out the bottom end is a Mazworx billet crank, ACL
race bearings and a Greddy high capacity sump.
Utilising a VVL head and Supertech valvetrain, the top end will be fully ported and flowed
and is designed to run reliably at an incredible 10,000RPM. The valves themselves are
operated by Kelford racing cams and Tomei adjustable cam gearing.
Forced induction will be provided by a Garret GTX3076 billet compressor turbocharger
hooked up to a Mazworx manifold. Boost control is managed by a Tial wastegate, feeding
a screamer pipe and downpipe also manufactured by Mazworx.
