Rowleys Performance Engineering Ltd
We are currently building a replacement engine for the original Murtaya rally car and are very proud to be involved at this level with the rebirth of this extremely exciting sports car company.
We offer many different engine options for the Murtaya as with any model in the Subaru range from a very road usable 2ltr & 2.1stroker,right through to a 2.5 ltr or extremely high torque output 2.7 ltr turbo engine and can even offer the option of a super charged set up.
Choices dont just stop at the power unit we can also offer a wide range of different transmissions from close ratio 5 speed & 6 speed right through to full straight cut sequential with or with out driver controlled center adjustable differential(dccd) in all options.

This is the replacement engine in build just awaiting it's ported & flowed cylinder heads.
The engine is a fully refreshed STI V4 containing STI forged pistons with new piston rings, end over end balanced conrod set, ACL race series big end bearings, modified for improved oil flow ACL main bearings,V 9 cross drilled & toughend crankshaft and as you can see ARP head studs.
As Murtaya sports car's demo car we are only aiming for an easily obtainable, punchey and reliable 330 bhp from this engine with a VF34 turbo.
Weighing in at little more than 900kg this sort of power can really prove excillerating in the light weight 4 wheel drive Murtaya.

Short motor now long motor with ported cylinder heads,cam shafts, cam pulleys,kevlar Cosworth cam drive belt and baffled sump pan fitted.
The blue Cosworth cam belt is a great upgrade only a fraction more over the cost of a genuine Subaru belt and considerably less costly than the STI equivelant...
With it's front mount fitted here you can see the Rally Murtaya strapped down on our dyno for rolling road engine bed in and Simtek ecu map tweak.
Running in a new engine in the controlled environment of the dyno cell allows constant monitoring of all peramiters and engine functions.
It also reduces the overall time it traditionally takes to bed new piston rings in and eliminates the possibilities on bore glazing.
