Each kit come complete with a ready programmed MBE Ecu which is ready to run, however for our higher specification engines we would recommend a mapping session to fine-tune the engine. The injectors are the same as the MT system and we use the same ECU but that is where the similarity ends. With a very different programme using this basic kit on a standard 2.0 litre 16v XE engine an output of 208 BHP is achieved. Needless to say we used one of our exhaust manifolds, on a closed cell Dynamometer.  . It cannot be stressed too highly that these kits will only yield their true potential when used in conjunction with our exhaust manifold or one made to our design and a suitable exhaust system.

The same high specification of loom used which is available off the shelf in 3 versions, rear wheel drive, front wheel drive and mid engine versions. These have been specifically designed to be as neat as possible and to cover as many applications. These wiring looms are kept on the shelf with a selection of coil adapters which will allow you to fit to a range of ignition systems e.g. engines with distributors, engines with distributorless coils (Bosch 3 pin connector type as fitted to the LN engines), or by using our coil COIL-4. Although the kits do allow you to use the standard distributor/coil amplifier set up, it is not recommended because even if you have these parts, the standard cap & rotor reduce in efficiency as they wear & cost over £60.00 to replace each time. The distributorless coil has no moving parts so it can maintain a perfect spark & we have never seen one wear out yet, making the distributor/coil amplifier set up a false economy.

Alternatively, you may wish to have a wiring loom custom made to your loom drawing specification, this is not problem, but will take approximately 4 weeks to produce from the receipt of your finished drawing and there will be no compromise on quality anywhere in any of the components. If you refer to the section on ECU's we have listed all the specifications & options available, which you can add. The only optional upgrade that can be done to the standard harnesses before dispatch is the addition of a barometric pressure sensor.

Where space permits this is unquestionably the way to go; smooth power application, high torque and wide power band, this set up has it all. It almost behaves like a standard production car. Starting is simple and the air temperature sensor & Lambda control will take care of the warm up. Once it has been set up correctly, apart from the occasional set-up to adjust out small wear variants the engine will not need re-setting at all throughout the season. It is extremely reliable and forms the basis of all our winning engine/car/driver combinations. It is also the same basic kit that OPEL have been homologated with the FIA and SBD for the Astra Mk III kit car for rallying.

So it is with considerable 'track record' and proven reliability that this style of kit is offered.

Certainly all those who have purchased it are extremely complimentary about it and the reports are continually coming in with very positive results.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The Taper Injection kits will fit most competition & road cars e.g. Caterham, Westfield, Novas, Escort MK2s, Opel Mantas, etc. On the Mk2 Astra, the installation is very tight & modification to the air horn & air filter nearest the servo may be required, however the Mk3 Astra & Cavaliers have a little more space. In all cases on the Astras & Cavaliers, modifications will be required to the brake pipes around the servo system.

Please Note that most of the kits do not include oil system upgrades this is because it will depend on the type of car & the rules of the Championship you will be using it for but it is recommended that a Dry sump system is used if possible. Please read the section on oil systems & Ring for more detail if you need help.
