Engine Servicing & Tuning:
S.W.R.D. Racing Engines is a subsidiary of Simon Wright Racing Developments and specialises in the servicing, repair and tuning of kart racing engines. S.W.R.D. Racing Engines have been an Iame importer/agent for over 20 years (the longest in the UK). S.W.R.D. also possesses a vast array of knowledge and technical ability in the rebuilding and servicing of retro/historic kart racing engines for the resurgent historic kart classes.
S.W.R.D. provide a full dynometer (dyno) facility. We utilise the state of the art “Sport Devices” data acquisition unit coupled with a 100% built for purpose kart dyno. The dyno has been specifically designed to replicate the drag-run of a kart engine on an international standard kart circuit straight, thus giving realistic run times and output figures.
The facility has the ability to accurately measure and record in real time the engine:
- Horsepower
- Torque
- RPM
- Engine Temperature
- Exhaust Temperature
The Official Wright Karts Factory Team have benefited greatly from this new facility which is located on the factory premises. The ability of the dyno to give a measurable quantitative result gives hard evidence on the premium set-up of your materials, whether it be a carburettor, engine or exhaust. The best balance between a number of engines, carburettors and exhausts can also be found to give you the “Ultimate” power unit available to you.
The real time recorded traces can be overlapped with any number of previous tests, effectively allowing the optimum engine set-up to be found off track. Allowing you to hit the ground running on your next race/test day.
