heavy-duty engine, heavy-duty motor
Explanation:
Heavy-duty: adj. intended to withstand hard use (OED).

Please remember, Spanish "motor" is usually translated into English:

- Engine in instances such as steam engine, internal combustion engine...

- Motor in instances such as electric motor, hydraulic motor...

It is not clear from the context you provide which one would be applicable.

Best wishes.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I am sorry Carlos I cannot give you more context because I was not given more context either. I was only told that all translations of "motor" should be "engine" more than what I have posted I cannot tell you, but I think that your answer could well be correct. Thank you for your help.
