What is a Taraka?

Well you might have noticed that we now have a TVR Chimaera `Taraka`

Not content with 5 Litres of V8 this TVR has had the engine upgraded Costing over £3780 from TVR Power Coventry.

It includes the following:-

CYLINDER HEAD RE-WORKING
The cylinder heads are re-worked with balanced combustion chambers and modified ports. All installed valve spring pressures and heights are measured and re-worked to TVR Power’s own specification.

INLET MANIFOLD RE-WORKING
The inlet manifold is re-worked with larger ports and a modified trumpet base, and all inlet ports and gaskets are matched and blended to remove any obstruction

CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY
All components in the assembly are re-balanced on our own dynamic crank balancer to give a smoother, vibration free delivery.

VALVETRAIN ASSEMBLY
The camshaft is replaced by one specifically developed by TVR Power for this application, which is timed in with a degree wheel for maximum power. This also enables us to use “solid” mechanical lifters with adjustable push-rods operating steel valve rocker arms.

PLENUM TOP / AIR INTAKE
The plenum top is bored out to over 70m/m and a larger brass butterfly is fitted along with a specially machined aluminium bell mouth to increase intake volume.

ECU EPROM CHIP
The standard 500 chip is replaced with one specially developed for this up-grade, giving a smooth spread of power throughout the rev range.
