AMT currently have many projects on the go,  here you will find the latest updates of what's coming down the pipe as it were.  Well start with what most people have recently been asking about...

The next few images are of Jim Blackie's 240 bhp 20 xe, a bolt managed to get into the bore at 9500 rpms and did this damage.  The engine is currently under rebuild and will be used in the AMT demo car in future.

Below are a few pics of the turbo AMT will be using in their Vauxhall powered drag mini, the mini will be running on nitro methane!!! and should be pulling sub 10 sec 1/4 mile times.

 
The turbo to the right is a Garrett T34 just for size comparison This turbo is HUGE Expected power from the engine will be around 700-800 BHP!!

 

The next set of images are of a skyline build that's currently being done alongside everything else.
