Erm im sure it could be done just a matter of re routing the alarm and immobiliser wires

[jamesmpi]

So it's a complete new inlet manifold and ecu. Is it a single point injection or multi point. I can only see 1 injector

[jamesmpi]

Scratch that. I take it the blue items are the injector connected by the silver T piece on the braided fuel pipe

[cian]

Yes dude the blue things are the injectors, and yes the kit comes with the manifold and the ecu

I hope it can be done... I've had to drill holes in the door which is never a good feeling ad it is, but if the purpose of the holes isn't there then it's really not a good thing lol

Hi guys, reviving the thread a little bit!! I was at bingley hall yesterday and I popped over to see specialist components to talk about the kit. I have to say the kit looks and sounds fantastic, the build quality and attention to detail is brilliant! I will definitely be purchasing one in the near future!

The engine on show also had one of their manifolds, this also looks fantastic and seems a much better fit than my maniflow do you have this on your car cian?

Hi cab here.newbie. Anyone got specialist components throttle body kit for mpi.

[cian]

Hey mini mad good to see your still on the hunt for one lol funny you should mention fitment of your manifold I had a maniflow injection manifold and it fitted very poorly fouled on the pot joint since this I have replaced it with a maniflow 3 into 1 race manifold and it fits beautifully

I bought the SC stainless manifold and it was s@"t. None of the pipes lined up with the studs, so had to try and slot the holes. Plus the oxygen sensor boss is right at the bottom of the Y piece so you have to cut and lengthen the cables.

Now have the manifold LCB manifold.

Cian.im new to this forum, just ordered throttle body kit for my cooper mpi, from specialist components, been reading your comments on your kit, how do you find the kit. Anyone else running this setup. Look forward to hearing more.Cab

Hey cab welcome aboard lol, it's a fantastic bit of kit took about an hour to put in then after a rolling road set up its transformed it

Now have the manifold LCB manifold.

The Y placement is the best place for it, other wise it's just reading from one cyclinders output.
My SC SS manifold had two boss points one on the Y and one on the right hand side top pipe.
It also fitted with no problems.

Another little revival from me once again... I still don't have the kit, to be honest I've not even started on the 1380 engine.. Still sitting on the bench looking sorry for itself! My dad is helping me throughout the build of both the car and the engine and we've been tied up with other car projects, however I've just fitted the SC manifold and as said above mine lined up perfectly, fitting was pretty straightforward slthough the welds meant that I had to smooth one side of a couple of the washers but other than that fits perfectly! I hope to be starting the engine ASAP so hopefully I will be purchasing the kit in the not so distant future!!!
