This is our top of the range kit for the 1.6L, it includes an upper injection kit, dry sump kit, steel crank. This kit uses 5mm diameter stem valves, which reduces the load on the valve train & does not interrupt the flow of air so much as the standard size valve stems.

The kit utilises the MBE 970 ecu, which has barometric sensing, alternator sensing, direct firing coils, launch control, traction control, 8 injectors, lambda control, rad fan control, the list is endless!! It come complete with a program & ready to run, however we would recommend a mapping session to fine-tune the engine.

There are optional extras available for the wiring loom, however they must be ordered at the outset, as they cannot be added later. They are alternator adapters, launch control including knob & button and radiator fan control.

This is the engine specification which has been run successfully in our SBD Westfield for the past few seasons. Dick Hulbert achieving 1st in Class & a new class record of 10.87 seconds at the Brighton Speed Trials 2005.

This is the engine specification that Garry Dickson has run for the past 2 seasons acheiving Overall Champion in Scottish Sprint Championship 2006 & Divisional Winner in Scottish Sprint Championship 2007.

As Steve Greenald of Race Engine Calibration / Track n Road writes:

One of the most impressive car/engine combinations recently tested was the SBDevelopments Westfield 1700cc Vauxhall Ecotec. When Steve Broughton told me he expected in excess of 240 BHP I'd been more than a little sceptical. Contrary to popular belief only a handful of modified 2 Ltr XE engines make this sort of power.

As another example of SBD knowing their product, this amazing engine that revs to over 10,000 RPM produced a clean power run straight away of a healthy 241 BHP and 148 Ft Lbs of Torque. The generally accepted maximum that can be expected from any naturally aspirated engine is between 85 and 95 Ft Lbs of Torque per Litre of engine capacity. At just under 90 Ft Lbs / Ltr this engine is approaching F1 standards of performance.
