Due to the interest in the PPP-106 Project Page, we have now registered the url www.ppp-106.co.uk - So now you can all make it easier to tell all your friends about this ebd Project! The direct link still remains as

• Items Updated / Altered :
  • Due to the very sad loss of the PPP-106 this site will not be updated really any further. - However always look at www.engineeredbydesign.co.uk for the latest information! Rememeber if you want to comment, join in on discussion on the ebdForums

1. It is specific to the person we are building this for - and his requirements,
2. It is specific to the requirements of the catgegory the vehicle is going to compete in
3. Although it is really quite radical - it is not a complete money free-for all! - We are working to a budget!
4. The concept has been designed with every part in mind - From custom made ebd Carbon Fibre trumpets right the way through to the De-cat pipe, - this is not a "BITS" design, where you buy lots of different different parts off of the shelf, and simply bolt them togetger!! - Just about every part used in the build has been custom made / modified or machined to suit our requirements.
5. So what does this really mean?

To answer some questions I have seen:

Head design:

Due to The Category That Graham Pickard competes in, there are some limitations:

The Head must be one that was fitted to the car as standard,

• This means we can't use a later head that has the port spacing more equal,
• As such, a choice was made to radically modify the existing head.
• This choice is also a function of the fact that we are using an 8 injector injection system, comprising of standard Peugeot 106 Rallye injectors and complemented by 4 injectors from a Yamaha R6 2004 model motorbike. - This means that the best port spacing is influenced by the port spacing of the TB's used - hence the solution employed!
• This also gives us extra tunability due to the fact we can bring extra injectors online when required.

Bottom End:

To add further information regarding our planning, Graham's budget has meant that a fully steel bottom end is out of the question - Hence full calculations we have carried out for

• Rod strength,
• Crank strength,
• Flywheel inegrity

All to determine what the bottom end is capable of - especially after we had planned for to radically modified them! From this we were able to carry out the bottom end mods with relative safety - modifying Cast iron items instead of using of the shelf steel ones. Again, the aim of this project is to create the best possible solution that meets the needs of class, category, budget & driver expectation!

Sump Baffling:

• The queries about windage: - well windage is about the amount of oil that clings to the crankshaft during rotation / normal operation.
• A standard crankshaft is a cast iron item that has an effective surface finish equivalent to a badger on heat. - comonly known as, in engineering terms, as "rough as a Bears Arse"
• The Crankshaft employed in the PPP-106 has been mirror polished, this reduces the surface "cling" and as such windage is massively reduced.
• The main purpose in the baffling is to minimise surge & the torque coupling effect of the mass of oil changing direction! - if you examine the clappet de carter on the peugeotsport boutique page, you will see that this system employs a large trap door arrangement, with a baffle in a simliar place to where we have placed ours.
