Specialist Components Company Update
Turbo Mini Forums

As most people know we are known for our beautiful light weight components for the A series as well as being at the forefront of the BMW K cylinder head conversions. Well we have been expanding the company to include lots of different services.

Race car set up:-

Hunter Laser 4 wheel alignment
- Corner Weighting
- Ride Height Setting
- Chassis Kinematics analysis
- Gearing optimisation
- Data Acquisition with track-side support
- Engine calibration and power measurement


As well as this we are able to offer engine/gearbox/cylinder head building services to complement our billet cranks/rods/engineering services.

We are also starting to roll out our own high spec ecu for some applications along with competition spec wiring looms.

Hopefully we'll see some of you guys up here in Norfolk at some point.

check out the web for details

Any queries please let me know

If Carling made Mini engines

Sounds good John:
Whats the scoop on U'r ecu, is it able to be changed / add ons for aspirated, nitious, injection or turbo.

If it a'nt broke don't fix it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Gav- the ecu has more bells and whistles than santa clause! the one in my gold car (since 2005) was the prototype and we are now in a position to start rolling it out. The basis for the ecu is one of the fastest 32 bit processors on the market, all software is written by SC in house 100%. The ecu can run simple things like 5 port min's through to injected turbo nos monsters - we don't just supply the ecu's, but are in the position to offer proffesional mapping as well - in fact we prefer to do the mapping as we can guarantee the results and that the motor won't grenade or fail emmisions tests!

but are they user mappable? for minor adjustments should you wish?

also i heard a rumour about a turbo K head manifold, any news?

Hi Iain - yes the philosiphy is that they will be "tweakable"

- turbo K manifold is underway

cheers

Back once again like a renegade master

NA was the plan but i like to change them! sure it will be NA but i can be known to change my mind! ha ha!

:p

Go turbo iain ???

I have changed my mind about ten times..NA, Turbo, SC...

regardless, i need the conversion kit anyway and i have sold off some 5 port bits (yeaehh) and will be getting extra cash soon.

BUT I HAVE NOW MADE MY MIND UP first NA.. the turbo exhaust manifold is a tad daunting..and i have no practical experiences with turbo's whatsoever.

now repeat mantra.. I have no need for >180 bhp.. i have no need for >180 bhp

That sir, is not rust, it is the progressive mass reduction system

Iain and everyone else, there is a downloadable pdf on the site for the ecu now

Good work John, I can't wait to see the new work shop, how is she looking??

Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on a carb?
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on Injection?

Hi Matt - well it's looking all the better for some stunning photographs on the walls now!

you'll have to visit soon

Does this ECU do port injection on a 5-port head?

1275 with Back Door Turbo

if you mean 4 injectors and a cam position sensor - then yes

Have you got a ball park figure for these ECU's John?

Bit OT, but i need an ECU to run 10cyl (10 injectors) at 17,000 rpm.

---ooh - you could run 2 of our ecu's!!
