tco101 FASTCO AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS CUSTOM BUILT ENGINES COMPARED TO OTHER SUPPLIERS ENGINES
by fastco101 Hello from cross the pond.. been asked 1,000's of times what is ment by the term compare apples to apples when shopping for a high performance parts..We've all seen those slick ads & huge BHP engine claims posted in magazines & on the internet by companies looking for your hard earned dosh & your looking for the highest quality parts that deliver the most BHP  for your money look no futher! 

Hows a fellow to sort through all this tech'no mumbo jumbo & promises of high quality & BHP when shopping around.

The answer is quite simple..when shopping around ask the engine supplier for a detailed itemized list the brand name parts & operations that are used in there engine there selling. This way you can compare 1 companies engine to another companies engine & see witch one is the highest quality & in most cases much more BHP for the money spent.

THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR IF ENGINE SUPPLIER SAYS / DON'T GET LED DOWN THE GARDEN PATH!

1-We use reconditioned parts ,or remanufactored parts, remachined parts , high performance parts (no brand name) refurbuished parts, QC inspected parts, These terms mean the engine is loaded with used & remachined parts eg old crankshafts reground & old connecting rods resized , reground valves , shimed valve springs , used pushrods , reground used camshafts , rebuilt lifers. Use of these type of used & cheap China made parts will leed to massive engine failers leaving you with no engine and paynig to rebuild another engine.

2-If the supplier does not supply a detailed list of new parts used & brand name parts used they are using used reconditioned parts & cheap generic / made in China parts if they do not supply itemized list of NEW parts & brand name parts...siimply walk away from the deal no matter how sweet it sounds or looks..eg chrome dress up kits & engine paint are dirt cheap!

3- Beware of the terms LONG BLOCK or LONG ENGINE this means there engine is NOT turn key and you will be charged 1,000 of extra GBP to make there engine turn key eg:you may need a carb , distributor ,water pump , pulleys, ignition wires, genorator, fuel pump, covers , oil pan ,air filter kit ,flywheel , clutch kit , mount hardware ect ect ect.

I was smitten by the 540bhp unit installed a very tasteful black Tojeiro destined to be a daily driver for a London city stockbroker."

Quote from UK customer:

When shopping for a high quality custom built engine remember to ask your self these questions.......

Do you want the highest quality custom built engine with the highest BHP for the money spent bar none? Yes ofcourse you've spent countless hours building your car and busting your knuckels to get it perfect in every way. Are the other suppliers dodgey with there engines parts list using vague and generic terms eg: reconditioned, remachined,refurbished,gone through quality inspected,remanufactored,high performance, heavy duty.

These terms mean there going to use cheap parts and used parts where ever they can to build that engine to increase there profits by cutting corners and costs and quality big time. Make sure ALL engine parts are listed with brand names and part numbers supplied.

Some supplies are claiming outrageous BHP levels from there engines ask to see a recent dyno printout and DVD of dyno test of there engine build to back up there claims.

We will gladly dyno test your engine and guarantee its BHP output and send you a DVD live of your engine being dyno tested on a Superflow 901 dyno. And are other suppliers engines true turn key with no hidden extra costs to make it turn key? The list of parts needed to make an engine turn key can be long and add up to 1,000's of extra dollars or pounds.

Can you buy an engine priced cheaper then ours? The answers yes of course . Can you buy a true turn key engine built like ours with the same parts and quality and BHP levels/dyno tested at a lower price? .......................The answer is absoultly no. If your answer is YES please let us know we'd love to see the suppliers built sheet and specs and there price on there true turn key engine landed in UK all costs and fees and no suprises. Apples to Apples comparisons only please. ___________________________________________ .
