**BEHIND THE SCENES | TDP ADVANCED ENGINEERING**

A little sneak peek at some of the custom engineering work that goes on behind the scenes at TDP.

These are a pair of bespoke **9-inch axle toe reinforcement brackets**, CNC machined in-house from aerospace-grade aluminium.

Designed to provide additional reinforcement and rigidity to the axle assembly, helping to maintain toe stability under the extreme loads of motorsport.

This is just one example of the many custom components we design and manufacture here at **TDP Advanced Engineering**. Most of these parts never make it onto social media, but they’re the kind of specialist engineering projects we work on every day.

From concept and design through to precision CNC machining, all carried out in-house. ??

TDP Advanced | Billet Vertical Handbrake & Base Plate
Our TDP billet vertical handbrake and base plate, designed for flat tunnel cars and using an AP-style master cylinder with rod ends at both ends.
A fantastic bit of kit, even if we do say so ourselves.

Inside one of our Honda K20 dry sump pans.

This is where proper oil control starts.

The pan uses four independent scavenge collection points, one for each big-end area, helping control the oil locally and reduce windage around the rotating assembly.

Oil coming from the timing-chain area is also captured and separated rather than being allowed to fall directly back into the crankcase.

Between the block and the dry sump pan we also fit an intermediate scraper plate. This further strips oil away from the crankshaft and helps prevent oil from being dragged around by the rotating assembly.

The aim is simple: keep as much oil as possible away from the crank, reduce windage losses, reduce drag, and allow the crankshaft to spin as freely as possible while maintaining reliable oil scavenging under sustained motorsport use.

Designed, developed and machined in-house as part of our Honda K-series engine programme.

BMW S58 | TDP.ie Advanced Engineering
Our billet cam cover and high-flow inlet manifold installed on the brand new @redbulldriftbrothers BMW M2 G87 during testing at A&M in Switzerland.
Testing was carried out on their Dynapack hub dyno, giving us the opportunity to evaluate the complete package under controlled conditions.
A big thank you to Marcel for the use of the excellent dyno room and for looking after us during the test.
The dyno screenshot shown is axle horsepower, uncompensated.
The engine is fitted with our in-house designed and manufactured:
– Billet S58 cam cover with advanced oil/air separation for very high boost applications
– High-flow billet inlet manifold designed for high-flow port injection, high boost levels and substantially increased airflow over the OEM plastic manifold
Both parts are fully machined in-house from 6000-series aerospace-grade aluminium on our DMG 5-axis machining centres.
Now available to order.
