Engine Repairs:

Obviously the most important part of engine whispering is being able to fix engines!

Often, even the most lifeless engine will only need fairly minor convincing before it will burst back into life.

Usually these engines stay dormant due to the owner’s fear of a huge repair bill, especially after talking to a mechanic!

Many people have boats sitting around for years because the engine won’t start, and a trip to a marine workshop will usually involve massive dollars and extensive replacing of parts. Generally it’s possible to breathe life back into even the oldest of outboard motors, and with a bit of mechanical sympathy they’ll keep running happily for years to come.

An old car sitting in the front yard is a difficult thing to sell when it’s not running, and towing it to a workshop for repairs often ends up costing more than the car’s worth. Maybe some engine whispering could have it running and save it from the scrap metal truck?

Boats:

Boats are often in need of some engine whispering, but it’s not just the engines that can need some attention.

  • electrics
  • steering systems
  • pumps, hoses, plumbing
  • fuel system
  • engine swaps / replacements
  • propeller changes
  • engine / gearbox servicing

Electric Vehicles:

I can provide various EV related services:

  • help with EV conversions
  • perform complete conversions
  • source parts
  • advice on component selection and expected range / performance
  • advice of engineering requirements to pass inspection

I have built, and am continuing to develop, an electric motorcycle - Electrocycle - which I use for local transport and EV research.

Race Cars:

I have built a few race cars, worked in several race teams, and have run my own race car for many years.

I can help with getting a race car built, set up, tuned, and ironing out any reliability issues.

  • Wiring - engine conversions, custom ECU wiring, chassis loom rewires, fuel systems, data logging / sensors
  • Fabrication - brackets, exhaust systems, chassis bracing, intake plumbing, heat shields, seat rails
  • Engine - upgrade parts installation, repair, conversions, diagnosis, tuning
  • Suspension - recommendation, tuning, adjustment, modification
