HB Speed is a Cosworth dealer with the staff and ability to do extensive installs on Subaru, Mitsubishi, Nissan vehicles and more. They are also a dealer / tuner for our EC Pro ecu, the most powerful commercially-available standalone on the market today.

They recently worked on a customer vehicle, an 2008 Subaru STI. He was looking to bump up the power quite a bit with a large turbo, so they recommended him upgrading the engine first. With their experienced technicians, they easily swapped in a Cosworth EJ257 longblock and snapped some shots in the process.

The Cosworth longblock uses brand new OEM block cases and cylinder head forgings. This longblock is a 2008 STI specific application as the oil pump and cylinder heads are differently from the 07 and earlier models. HB Speed also upgraded the factory intake manifold to a Cosworth higher volume inlet manifold which is compatible with the factory accessories.

Future upgrades include a larger turbo and our EC Pro to handle the calibration requirements for big power and OEM drivability.

EC Pro Info

The Redline Time attack was held at Willow Springs this weekend (May 30/31). There were many Cosworth customers racing at the event including the new Sierra Sierra Enterprises Mitsubishi EVO 8. The SSE team is new to time attack but not new to racing. They have participated in open wheel racing for many years with great success. Team owner Dennis Kottke is a serious racer and his team has prepared one of the most serious time attack cars out there. Since the team was familiar with Cosworth powered cars from their open wheels days, they asked us to build a reliable, race winning engine for the EVO. Using our proven 2.2L short block and CNC Ported Big Valve Cylinder Head with M3 Cams, our talented team at Cosworth assembled a powerful 4G63 for the car.

The SSE EVO8 features many custom parts and carbon fiber components along with high level electronics from Cosworth.

We are also pleased to be working with the Fontana Nissan Team and their 350Z . Fontana Nissan runs a first class operation and has one of the nicest cars out there. This was their first event using the new Cosworth 3.8L stroker kit. The car was fast and relaible all weekend long and we look forward to seeing the car at future events. Fontana Nissan is also starting a high performance division that will soon offer Cosworth performance parts.

The Cosworth YB 2.0L Turbocharged engine was launched during 1986 in the 3 door Ford Sierra Cosworth. For the time, it was a potent track weapon with 204bhp and a big front mounted intercooler. The infamous RS500 version of the same car followed in 1987 with 225bhp, a bigger Garret T4 turbo, eight injectors (only four connected) and an engine designation of YBD. The RS500 dominated the touring car world for several years.

In 1988-89, Ford Launched the Sapphire, with a 4x4 version being produced from 1990-92. The Famous Escort Cosworth was launched in 1992 with four wheel drive and was available until 1996. During that period, the Escort conquered the World Rally Series.

The YB series engine was recognized as a excellent platform for various forms of racing in both forced induction and normally aspirated configurations.

Today, the YB remains popular for both historic racing as well as engine conversions in Ford Escorts and can be found from Sweden to the Island of Malta in competition use.
Cosworth continues to supply components for the YB including a newly developed light weight alloy block and forthcoming cylinder head. For more information please contact us at mailto:historicparts@cosworth.com

Cosworth has been manufacturing motorsport grade engine components for 50 years. Very few companies can make the same claim and those 50 years of knowledge translate into experience producing in some of the finest components available for your engine including our crankshafts. Cosworth billet steel crankshafts are manufactured at our factory in Northampton UK. Machined from a solid piece of EN40B steel, hardened, precision ground and then Superfinshed for maximum performance each Cosworth crankshaft goes through the same manufacturing process as a Formula One crankshaft.

Crankshafts such as our Mitsubishi EVO 94mm stroker version (above) are designed in house using the latest CAD programs to ensure the strongest , lightest specification possible.

Factory 12 in Northampton England. Components for some of the most powerful engines in racing are manufactured here.

This crankshaft has had the main bearing journals rough machined. The rod journals have yet to be machined. This is very time consuming process.

The same style crankshaft  goes through the next machining process completing the final shape.

The finished Subaru crankshaft shows the detail and care that goes into each Cosworth crankshaft. Quality materials, precision design and manufacturing ensure maximum reliable performance.
