R&D

Webb Motorsports has been, and continues to be, involved in the development of numerous MINI/Lotus aftermarket products with several manufacturers. We have an extensive testing process using aerospace disciplines to develop these products through a proven regimen of track time, autocross, dyno time, and road driving.

The steps taken to develop a product depend on the type of product we are bringing to market. For instance, a motor enhancement will first be tuned on the dyno, then taken to the track to monitor real time data including inlet temp, oil temp, boost pressure, coolant temp, fuel trim, and several other parameters based on the part. We also do endurance testing, both cold and hot weather testing, and maintain data collaboration with several engineers related to the specific discipline. We then drive the car with the new item on the street, looking for any "teething" problems before sending it to the customer. A suspension item goes through rigorous track development as well as street and autocross driving. We of course then check for ease of installation, and make changes accordingly and constantly during the development process.

Some of the products we have directly or jointly developed for other companies include: the H-Sport swaybar, springs, and camber plate set, the Milltek Quick Fit cat-back exhaust, the Magnaflow exhaust, the Alta air intake, pulley, intercooler, and short shifter, the Unichip and Powerchip ECU programs, the UUC brake kit, AP brake kit and Leda coilover kits. We are also currently involved in the development of new products from Helix MINISport.

In addition to the ongoing collaboration effort with many of the current MINI/Lotus parts manufacturers, Webb Motorsports also continues to develop our own line of products. These are the best in the industry, and are put through the same test and development processes used to shake down all products offered through Webb Motorsports. These include our Extreme Rear Swaybar, Performance Cylinder Head, Short Shifter, Performance Intake Manifold and Intercooler Runners, Swaybar Droplinks, Supercharger and Crank Pulleys and some brand new Lotus and MINI products yet to be announced.

The involvement of Webb Motorsports with multiple manufacturers and a test regime of track, autocross, dyno, and street time allows us to not only bring you the best products on the market, but provide the best product support and knowledge in the industry.
