Email received July 2011 from Bruce McKenzie, Australia who bought a MBE9A4i & ignition only system for his Duratec powered Escort.

Hi Steve,

I took the Escort out to one of our tracks on Wednesday for a run. It does everything I had wished for, the performance and handling is very good.

Although I have not driven an Escort in anger since 1981 (RAC Rally) it was just like it was yesterday. It sounds beautiful and revs very smoothly to 8000rpm, although it seems that it will pull away from almost any revs below this.

An excerpt from an email received April 2011 from Scott Pillinger, England who has our MBE9A4 ECU & wiring harness on his Hayabusa powered DSP.

We are over the moon with our management system. The engine pulls so much cleaner and also feels to be revving better so thank you once again with all you help and advice.

Email received from Peter McClenaghan, Ireland in April 2011.

Hi Carole

Well i finally have some pictures of the car for you, sorry haven't emailed earlier but been out playing too much !

The car was built for the road over 2010 and was first registered in January 2011, the engine is a vauxhall 2.0xe with SDB 208 kit and MBE ignition, with a BTB exhaust and headers to SBD dimensions, All engine parts were supplied by SBD.
The car is an absolute dream to drive and pulls like a train, SBD were really fantastic to deal with and the advice was spot on. There will be a upgrade in the future and it will be the SBD 230 kit.

Email received from Adam in Houston, USA who has our MBE9A4 ECU on his Duratec powered Caterham

Your support has been first class and I have passed that along to the various Caterham owners over here. I also think if I yearn for more performance in the future it will be though you and your throttle bodies, for now though I need to enjoy the car as it is for a while!

Kind regards, Adam

Email received from Luboš, AOP, Czech Republic, September 2010 who bought our Hayabusa dry sump kit, dry sump tank, electric water pump & slave cylinder.

Hello,

I bought your Dry Sump System Hayabusa. Everything is OK. At the European Championships in Nova Paka in July 2010 we finished in second place. I enclose a few photos from the race.


Email received from Dyrr Ardash, August 2010 who bought our MBE management system for his Ford Fiesta Mk.6 "ST150" race car.

Steve,

Many thanks for Sat. It was good to come down and also see the SBD premises.

I'm chuffed to bits with the way the car felt. The driveability was the killer for me. Its a shame that Combe doesn't really need too much low down grunt. Thanks again and I'll let you know how I get on and also be in contact over the winter for some additional mods.

Hi Carole

Just a quick email to tell you the car fired up on sunday for the first time and it all appears to be running very smoothly.
The kit you supplied has been great to work with so many thanks !!


Email received in June 2010 from James Birch, Kent who has bought various 2.0L XE parts over the last few years.

Thanks for your assistance. Its an expensive rebuild I didn't need so money saved is a great help.

Good to see a company that can lend a helpful service without trying to capitalise on every pound from the customer.

SBD power is the best.

Letter from Carl Moffett (received 3rd July 2003)

I have received purchased a 208 kit. Thank you for the kit and support during build. It has transformed my Caterham into a devilishly fast & responsive vehicle. A number of people have been thinking about going the throttle body route in the area and I would certailnly recommend you.
