Race Engines

Nicholson McLaren Engines (NME) was founded in 1972 by John Nicholson to maintain the Cosworth DFV engines for McLaren Racing. McLaren’s F1 World Championship wins in 1974 and 1976 with their drivers James Hunt and Emerson Fittipaldi were powered by NME. Further successes followed through the 80’s and 90’s in F3000 and Group C2 Le Mans, this success continues today with wins in Historic Formula One and 2010 Champions in , The MSA Hill Climb Championship and in the National Sprint Series.

Based near Wokingham in Berkshire, NME have the facility to design components, build engines, develop existing engines, manufacture components and maintain or repair competition race engines.

NME is capable of providing a project management package for all engine types, petrol, diesel & alternative fuels.

At our factory near Wokingham we have in house dynamometer test cells with climate control which are available for confidential engine testing only (if required), plus test rigs for dynamic valve train and airflow rigs. NME also has balancing equipment for crank shafts and cam shafts and in house NDT and dye pen crack testing facility.

In addition to the above facilities our Alternative Fuel Department is involved in the development of systems to convert petrol driven vehicles to operate on Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). NME import the tried and tested Dutch SGi components and develop conversion systems for UK vehicles. These kits are then supplied to customers via approved installers throughout the UK.

NME projects include R&D, design, manufacture, build and development of new performance engines, plus further developments in the field of alternative fuels or electric vehicles.
