9. MAZSPORT <http://www.mazsport.net/> Kit (Brand New - Not Fitted) Comprising -
Microtech LT10S ECU
Ignition Solution Unit

Mechanical 70mm Throttle Body

Why is it for sale? Well, I can't afford to build both the V8 Ultima and the RX8 Caterham, so one must go... sorry Caterham!

All the eco-crap / comfort-aid electrics have been taken off the engine and it's pretty much a bare block, except for the necessary components.

The Oil Metering Pump has been removed, but it will come with the engine. Personally, I would keep it off and run the engine on Pre-Mix as recommended by Mazsport (there are NO aftermarket ECU's this side of £2.5K that can run the OMP effectively, and anyway - Pre-Mix is kinder to the engine).

The Mazsport kit was custom made at the factory for a Seven style application and the ECU / Ignition Unit mapped to run a bare engine. Together with a good exhaust (the OBX headers are equal length) the package should see over 250BHP.

Obviously, all the new parts are just that - brand new.

The engine, box, diff, shafts, and alternator are all in great mechanical condition and good cosmetic condition. Could all do with a wire brushing and a coat of JP1 Satin Black to make look perfect (and why wouldn't you want to?). I'd probably also re-seal the diff casing as the adhesive is looking a bit dry.
