Maximum Performance. Zero Compromise
Custom Engine Building
At HMT Performance, every engine build starts with an in-depth consultation to Understand your performance goals. We collaborate on component selection—ranging from forged internals to billet blocks—then engineer custom designed parts that balance power, reliability, and longevity. Assembly takes place under stringent quality controls, with interim inspections at every critical stage. The result is a turnkey powerplant tailored to your specifications and ready to excel on the track or on the street.
- Tailored engine design solutions
- Premium component sourcing expertise
- Precision assembly under strict QC
- Engines delivered ready for immediate installation
- Initial engine start up service available for peace of mind
- Customizable engine platforms for every application
Precision Machining & Blueprinting
Our machining capability combines state‑of‑the‑art equipment with seasoned operators to deliver precise tolerances on every part. We deck and bore engine blocks and precision hone cylinders and hand port heads with laser‑guided precision. Valve seats and guides are refaced and replaced and machined or sized with exact finishng standards. Crankshafts receive meticulous grinding, polishing, and dynamic balancing to eliminate vibration. Finally, we blueprint each component—comparing actual measurements to ideal specifications for the application—to ensure flawless fit and optimal performance under the most extreme conditions.
- Decking blocks to exact specs
- Boring and honing cylinder bores to perfect finish and size
- Porting heads for optimal flow
- Performance valve seat finishing
- Align honing main bores to precise sizing
- Crank grinding with dynamic balancing
- Blueprinting for perfect component fit
Engine Tear Down, Inspection & Rebuild
When an engine comes to our shop, we perform a complete disassembly and inspection. Detailed inspections uncover cracks, damaged parts, scoring, or fatigue in engine internals. Worn components are machined or replaced, restoring better-than factory tolerances. Cylinder heads are rebuilt with new valves, valve seats, valve guides and seals. We maintain meticulous records throughout the rebuild, then reassemble with calibrated clearances for the application.
- Complete engine disassembly process
- Thorough component wear inspections
- Precision machining to restore parts or adjust for application’s intended use
- Total cylinder head inspection
- Connecting rod reconditioning service
- Balanced rotating assemblies for smooth running
Performance Upgrades & Fabrication
Beyond standard builds, our in-house fabrication group can alter and adjust the fitment of all custom or aftermarket components with professional integrity. Intake manifolds are port‑matched and surfaced for maximum airflow. Forced‑induction combinations—turbochargers or superchargers—are integrated into the engine build. Fuel‑system enhancements, including high‑flow pumps and rails, are fitted to support increased demand. Every weld, bracket, and flange custom worked, modified or produced will have perfect alignment and durability to sustain high boost or high RPM conditions.
- Port‑matched intake manifold machining
- Turbocharger and supercharger integration services for engine build available
- In‑house faabricated brackets and welding available
- EFI fuel system upgrade and engine management consultations
- Carburetor selection and tuning consulations
Parts Sourcing & Manufacturing Guidance
Navigating the world of specialty engine parts can be daunting. We leverage decades of industry relationships to source premium materials—ranging from custom billet parts made from exotic alloys to special hard‑coated internal engine components— while coordinating initial prototype designs with trusted vendors. If a part doesn’t exist off‑the‑shelf, our reverse‑engineering process recreates it to exact specifications. We provide design feedback to improve durability and performance, then advise on machining techniques that maximize lifespan. Throughout, we manage vendor communications, co-ordinate and expedite timelines, and ensure every component meets our high standards before it enters your build.
- Sourcing premium performance engine materials
- Coordinating with specialty parts vendors
- Possible prototyping for precise component selection
- Reverse‑engineering unique engine components
- Design feedback to enhance durability
- Machining technique advisement for longevity
Testing, Tuning & Development
Fine‑tuning is where raw power transforms into usable performance. We run comprehensive test sessions during engine dyno sessions—measuring torque, horsepower, and thermal characteristics. Real‑time data logging captures every parameter, from air‑fuel ratios to ignition timing. Our tuning experience is based on many engine dyno sessions and track or street testing. Detailed development reports document progress and recommend next steps, ensuring continuous improvement and peak reliability.
