One of my customers is looking at parts from a company called I K Engineering. Stuff seems cheap for what it is, and I was wondering if anybody has dealt with them, and what there like. Thanks in advance.

i just brought a inlet plenum off them let you now how it is when it comes monday

 

Hes fabrication is awesome and he also supplies some awesome cranks and rods etc..
Done alot for us including my new turbo manifold,down pipe and twin exit exhaust system on the racecar..iv also bought a new crank from him..


cheers danny

 

I have steel rods from him, they were tested to 9K and used a set in a lad's engine I built and seem to be OK at 8K lol

Seems good bloke and trader.

 

Who makes the cranks and rods he sells Danny ?

 

He doesnt let that cat out the bag mate but iv known him for 20 years now and his bits are widely used in the race world,the rods and cranks are awesome mate and very well proven..
The one iv bought has been proven in a very well known pinto doing 9k for the last 9 years!!!


cheers danny

 

Well its likely they come from one of the known manufacturers. I have seen his stuff for sale, think a BD crank was a grand which was cheap really.

 

Yeah they are good value,i payed Ł1100 for mine so pretty good value..


cheers danny

 

The blokes name is Ike iirc thatc why the I.K.E lol

I was told by a mate of his there american, don't know how true it is.

 

Yes thats right,i think he was called ikurus at birth!!!lol
We all call him ik..



cheers danny

 

Cheers folks, he seems ok then

Ike knows his shit like danny says, he used to do work for the company that were there before EP and my gf had the pleasure of working with him!! Fountain of knowledge and was showing her how to fabricate/ally weld etc and very thorough.

Top bloke and as said has been in the business for donkeys years now even thou he's not as well known as the bigger companys, he has/had alot of custom things fabricated over the years and i heard about these cranks being made a while back now before they were getting sold!!

Danny did he ever finish the fiesta he was doing,, the red one?! saw how much he cut out of it to make it as light as possible, metal stuff!!

 

Hi all,

Danny, Is this ike flat that also did work at sussex supercars before it closed down?.
Not sure if im right or not.

 

Fuck me thats gotta use some fuel running an engine for that long How much are his cranks?

Edited to say I see the price above..

 

You are correct mate
If your interested mate get in contact with me..not that i know how a crank works of course!!


cheers danny

 

Can you get a price on an 84mm one please for my 500? If they are anything to do with Farndon I have zero interest!

 

He has these made mate and says he wouldnt go near farndon as in hes experience they are heavier and the noses tend to fall off..
He can do 84mm mate same price as above..


cheers danny

 

Whats lead time? I'd want std width pins.

 

I will find out for you but he usually has them on the shelve..


cheers danny

 

He ported/line bore a YB head for me. Danny, out of interest do you know a guy named Demot McGiven ? . Also can you Map Pectel T2 motorsport on your chassi dyno . .

 

When it comes to head work etc ike sure is good but id prefer to use niel roper as i get a better deal..i have heard that name yes but cant think why or how??
We can map on the t2 for you mate yes..


cheers danny

 

Heres a link to those cranks ike does 350316253684 or should i say heres the ebay number..


cheers danny

 

Ike has done some bits for dermot in the past. Dermot has this own engine building bussiness called i think, Power for Peanuts .

 

Quite amusing as I completed the fiesta space frame & cutting fitting up fabrication arch,skirts,bumpers.... Panels.... Who did you say did the work
