FINDHORN CARS B Series 1800 Engine

Findhorn Cars offer an exciting range of engines to suit your individual requirements. First there is the classic sports car engine, the MGB Engine.

No English sports car was produced in such volume as the 1800cc B series engine. It is simple straightforward engine, which we use as standard in our four cylinder cars, because it is simply evocative of sports cars of a certain period, it is reliable and parts are readily available.

The strong, well engineered B series engine was in production for 30 years – longer if one counts its immediate forebears and successors – powering both the MGA and the MGB. As tuned for the MGB, this sporty twin-carb version produces 90 BHP, with its characteristic throaty exhaust note. Happily it will pull strongly from low revs to the 6,000rpm red line. The only modification we recommend as a matter of course is electronic ignition, which helps to ensure reliable starting and never a missed beat.

Even the standard MGB engine gives the relatively lightweight Findhorn TF impressive acceleration through the gears and a joyful top speed. If you are looking for more performance, the B series engine is a perfect basis for a wide range of tuning options. The normal tuning route is a gas flowed head, with larger valves and carburettors. This allows the engine to suck in more fuel air mixture and away you go. The traditional sports car route is a super-charger, which we would recommend, before you think about fancy cam shafts. These can allow lots more top end power, at the expense of lower speed torque.
