The TP290 kit was developed over several years, it gives a very high output with a good strong smooth torque curve. It is now one of our most popular kits being used in rallying, racing & sprinting. We have designed it to be a relatively simple kit to build. We have tried not to use too many exotic components which means the maintenance cost of this engine spec is very low, if fact one of our development engines which we had originally used for sprinting & then had been put into a customers Escort & is used on the road, for sprints & several 2-day stage rallys was stripped for inspection after 4 years & was still found to be in perfect condition.

The headwork included uses a larger valve size of 36mm inlet & 31mm exhaust with standard valve guides. The MBE9A4 comes already programmed & ready to use, however with this level of specifcation we would recommend a mapping session to fine-tune the engine. The kit includes a coil on plug wiring harness.

It is has the following parts; new design throttle body, steel rods & Omega high compression pistons, a dry sump system & high specification camshafts. The kit itself also contains the necessary components to achieve this horsepower with a few extra safety features as standard e.g. up-rated flywheel bolts, main cap studs, head studs & up-rated bearings.
