Normally aspirated tuning options
for Rover K-Series engines
As fitted to: Lotus Elise, MGF and Landrover Freelander
Phase
One: Super 140 (BGNA1)
Comprising the following BBR special components:
Free-flow stainless steel
exhaust system with polished, rolled edge tailpipe/s, fitted
on to the original cat’.
- Interceptor 2000 fitted to the manufacturers
ECU. This device enables the engine’s running software
to be modified, taking advantage of the low back-pressure
exhaust system.
- High flow air filter.
Power is raised from a
lowly 118bhp to approximately 140bhp (+/- 5%) @ 6.800rpm
with a very useful 14lbsft increase of torque.
This is by far the best
value and most popular conversion, more than 160 having
already been sold world-wide with over 100 in the UK. The
interceptor is the catalyst for Phase One and Two normally
aspirated conversions to the "K" series engines
and once fitted, only software updates are required to suit
the more radical modifications. For upgrading from Phase
One to Two, therefore, a substantial discount is available
since Interceptor 2000 is already fitted.
Our Super 140 Elise was
recently tested by EVO Magazine as "best of the bunch"
(see March ’99 issue).

Phase
Two: Super 160 (BGNA2)
Comprising the following BBR special components:
- Free-flow stainless steel exhaust
system with polished, twin rolled edge tailpipes, fitted
on to the original cat’.
- Low-overlap, fast road camshafts.
- Vernier timing wheels for optimum
timing and performance.
- Interceptor 2000 fitted to the manufacturers
ECU. This device enables the engine’s running software
to be modified, taking advantage of the low back-pressure
exhaust system and revised valve timing.

The characteristics of
the cam profiles, together with the revised ECU software,
enable vehicles to comply with the latest emission regulations
for petrol vehicles – the vehicle remains "MOT
friendly" and idle is unaffected. Power is raised from
a lowly 118bhp to approximately 158bhp (+/- 5%) @ 6.800rpm
with a very useful additional extra 20lbsft of torque.
