SWR Performance Engineering is the long-time racing engine tuning and preparation hobby of Bjørn Deildok, (which is me) which basically escalated until it could no longer be a hobby. Unless a day would turn out to have 36 hours,having a fulltime job besides all the projects that started running through the doors of my small,one-man shop was and is just not possible to squeeze into 24 hours. So,then I decided to start this as a full-time business,which is under progress and will most likely open the doors early 2009.

 Currently a new workshop is under construction,as the former (at the time of writing current) workshop is situated in the remodeled basement of my parent's house,and needless to say 50m² quickly runs out of space when you're trying to stuff bigger machinery there. Even so,I've managed to squeeze in a blasting cabinet,band saw,welding table and TIG welder,workbench,bench grinder,porting table and a small lathe on just 9m²... I know how to use space efficiently,a trait I've taken to good use when making the layout of parts for instance in the engine bay of a racecar.

Nevertheless,getting the 135m² new shop up and running is something I look forward to,as I then will be able to fit many of the tools of the trade I have previously needed to source out to other shops to get done. The first new tools to enter then is a mill and an engine dyno stand. The main goal is to be able to do just about anything in-house,as I've learned through the years that having another machinist to do stuff to my specifications and quality standards never becomes as good as I want it to be. I'm picky.

Besides the above mentioned tools I also have a computerized flowbench, cam measuring stand/tools,rod and piston balancing gear,valve spring tester,hydraulic press,drill press,parts cleaner,etc. The list is longer than I care to mention. The short of it is that I can design (by use of computerized simulation programs and experience) and make (or have made) anything that a specific race engine would need to perform at it's maximum.
