Had a crappy couple of weeks honestly, started wit Had a crappy couple of weeks honestly, started with getting a tooth pulled out, which went from bad to bloody worse!Id dropped my car down to the man the legend James King at JEK Fabrications  a while ago.A couple years ago I'd discussed with him the air intake I wanted to do. It was complex, and involved more time and money than I could deal with at that point.James pulled all the stops out, as per usual. He can virtually read my mind the fucker. It's just what I had planned! He did the same with the exhaust when I wanted that done! I hope he can't see all the sordid nonsense that goes in my mind saying that!Either way, behold. The full titanium PVE 'Big Dong CAI' that I wanted!Extra BHP's?! Probably next to nothing at this point, although, it's a bigger diameter than the alloy one we'd thrown together a few years ago. When we come to machining the supercharger out next year, we'll be all set and golden! I just wanted it. Because I'm a childish fuck, and I'm happy with that! 🤘Also a thanks to Stefan Golesworthy for some last minute titanium profiling!Thanks big man, for my Titanium Elephants Trunk, bring the noise!Oh, and a 'sorry' to Libby Dowell who thought we were 'joking' about the titanium. 🤭🫣JEK Fabrications @ramairfilters Maxxecu / Maxxtuning AB Swallows Jaguar - Swallows Racing #senderella #xk #x100 #xkr #titanium #fabricator #jekfabrications #elephantstrunk #bigdong #swallowsracing #cai

Ed's Mk5 Ecoboost Track Car,Ed as far as I know Ed's Mk5 Ecoboost Track Car,Ed as far as I know was one of the first people to run an Ecoboost in the Mk5 Fiesta all those years ago. It was magazine featured too, back when we had magazines, ahh, the good old days! Ed makes engine mounts for these little rockets, and has another build on the go as we speak!Back when he first converted the vehicle it had an aftermarket ECU system on it. I think it's fair to say he slowly got a little dissatisfied with the system after a number of failures of various components. He made the decision to run the OEM ST180 ECU with an Immo off, and get it tuned accordingly to his hybrid turbo, and his Area Six engine.I've dealt with Ed on a number of occasions, and well aware of his attention to detail and I was convinced we would be able to get the thing sorted for him.We've worked closely with Kenny & Stu from Motorsport Developments LTD over the years, and knew this was a job for these boys!  A few datalogging sessions on the Dyno, and a the hybrid was dialled in giving us the boost curve and power curve we were after. Rev limiters raised, custom idle strategy as Eds engine mounts are designed more for 'track use' let's say, and some other little bits and pieces that he wanted.The car made some nice power on his hybrid, but not absolutely ringing the neck out of it so nice for track use!Thanks for popping over Ed, great to see you, and hopefully catch up with you at Combe at some point. 👌#tuningshed #mk5fiesta #ecoboost #dynodfamily #ecobeast #msd #motorsportdevelopments #pve

I was told a while ago.Popped this in the post last week. 👌I've sent a few of these out over the years, but never really bothered to try and sell them as there are various solutions already. That said, I keep getting asked to build them! 🤣This system remote mounts the ECU. When messing around to a heavy extent with the R53, Turbos and the like, people often extend the wiring harness or shove the ECU in the scuttle.This was my solution, it plugs into the standard connector, and has a rubber bulkhead grommet, so it can be mounted inside the vehicle. I have a various DT/DTM connectors for extra inputs & outputs. Natively will run coil on plug. Runs all the standard R53 CAN-BUS.  Being able to customise this is awesome too!

Coupled with waiting for Dyno parts from Oz, it's been stressful!Crazy too, a loom I built up for Swallows Jaguar - Swallows Racing  that's on its way to Oz! Fully terminated with the 8HP connector, and the BMW shifter connector. This loom runs the AJV8 4.0, and should be a simple case of installing a tune I'll send via email, plug in his own Maxxecu Race, and send it!Sequential fuel injection, Bosch throttle body upgrade, knock control, all the good stuff.Plenty of extra I/O on a DT 12-Way too for extra sensors and so on. A true plug in solution. This one is supplied with a fuse box solution also making the installation even easier. :-)This is destined for a Jaguar Coupe. Will be interested to see how it looks.

730bhp Supercharged Mustang for calibration on HP 730bhp Supercharged Mustang for calibration on HP tuners.Kevin's epic Supercharged Mustang, following an engine rebuild, he decidded to get the calibration checked out.We initially did some logging, and ran it on the Dyno to find lots of knock, and some lean conditions. We made the decision to modify the calibration accordingly, based on the logs. The ECU was encrypted. Naturally. Fortunately, I have some real good friends in the industry. Massive shout out to Kenny from Motorsport Developments LTD for using my Bench read to decrypt the lock, allowing me to tune it normally via HPTuners. At this point my HP Tuners  software decided it needed to update it's VCM firmware, and bricked itself beyond repair, naturally. So my my next shout out goes to Dave at MET & Metclean Automotive Equipment who lent me his HPTuners VCM for the day. I sent the wife up to collect it. What a day. 😂😂Ultimately ended up with a happy customer and 730 safer BHP's.But behold, the glorious noise of the supercharged 5.0 V8. 🔥🥳#mustang #supercharger #supercharged #tuningshed #tuner #dyno #hptuners #ford #pcm #v8 #supercharged #superchargedmustanh

Had a crappy couple of weeks honestly, started wit Had a crappy couple of weeks honestly, started with getting a tooth pulled out, which went from bad to bloody worse!

Id dropped my car down to the man the legend James King at JEK Fabrications  a while ago.

A couple years ago I'd discussed with him the air intake I wanted to do. It was complex, and involved more time and money than I could deal with at that point.

James pulled all the stops out, as per usual. He can virtually read my mind the fucker. It's just what I had planned! He did the same with the exhaust when I wanted that done! I hope he can't see all the sordid nonsense that goes in my mind saying that!

Either way, behold. The full titanium PVE 'Big Dong CAI' that I wanted!

Extra BHP's?! Probably next to nothing at this point, although, it's a bigger diameter than the alloy one we'd thrown together a few years ago. When we come to machining the supercharger out next year, we'll be all set and golden! I just wanted it. Because I'm a childish fuck, and I'm happy with that! 🤘

Also a thanks to Stefan Golesworthy for some last minute titanium profiling!

Thanks big man, for my Titanium Elephants Trunk, bring the noise!

Oh, and a 'sorry' to Libby Dowell who thought we were 'joking' about the titanium. 🤭🫣

1968 Camero with a Supercharged LS3 on Maxxecu Rac 1968 Camero with a Supercharged LS3 on Maxxecu Race,

Dave's a well known local car builder. Specialising in the American market. Historically, Dave can be found at Santa pod pulling quarter mile runs in this 1300bhp Camero.

It's recently been undergoing a conversion to make it into more of a 'Street Car'. This has involved some serious modification. Some serious upgrades. It's got modern power steering, a modern Z06 corvette independent rear axle. Air conditioning, a modern power steering system. 🤩

The engine is a nice new LS3, with the Magnuson Superchargers bolt on package.

Running the Maxxecu / Maxxtuning AB  Race ECU and LS harness package,  Dave got the car up and running himself, and we managed to finish the job off on the Dyno.

Good healthy numbers, and a fantastic torque curve you could put a ruler on!

YB Cosworth ECU & Loom package off out the door th YB Cosworth ECU & Loom package off out the door this morning!

We've boarded out our 'fast moving looms', Cosworth YB, AJ16, AJV8, K20A2 etc. All can be customised to an extent. This loom is going out for use with the stock distributer & coil. But many customers opt for the Coil On Plug option. This customer has opted for printed labels.

The loom is braided with Vidaflex® Monofil PE, this offers very good mechanical strength and also provide excellent resistance to salt water, oil, fuels and solvents. It is self-extinguishing and operates at temperatures within the range of – 70°C to +150°C. The junctions are adhesive heat shrunk and all applicable connectors are booted. Aux connectors on engine, aux connectors near ECU. Aux connectors in Deutch DT & DTM.

Full support with all packages & ECUs sold. We provide Teamviewer time and phone support to get your engine up and running. :-)

MaxxECU Street at the heart of this package. It's hard to think of a better specced ECU for the money than the MaxxECU Street frankly.

Maxxecu in full control. As always. Marks X-Type Maxxecu in full control. As always.

Marks X-Type new race car build. The first one on his grid to run the AJ30, so he wanted to make a decent job of it.

Naturally the Maxxecu Race along with the AIM MTX Strada would fit the bill. 

The Maxxecu is now configured to run the fly-by-wire, both inlet flaps, both VVT banks, sequential fuel injection and ignition. Knock control on both banks. Closed loop wideband with lean protection on both banks. Fuel pressure monitoring, and included in the fuel model. Oil pressure monitoring with shut down protection. On board logging up to 1000hz. Breath... One little box does the lot! 

Good luck to Mark & the Auto Reserve  massive.

Steve's Time Attack Turbo R53. Dave from 611 Moto Steve's Time Attack Turbo R53.

Dave from 611 Motorsport made his familiar journey down from Manchester last week with Steve's little Mini.

Dave has been building the car from a shell that Steve has supplied, and moved lots of bits and pieces over from his old build. Lots of new 611 Motorsport suspension bits and pieces along with some nice upgrades.

Look forward to seeing Steve out at Caldwell Park for the first round of Time Attack.

730bhp Supercharged Mustang for calibration on HP 730bhp Supercharged Mustang for calibration on HP tuners.

Kevin's epic Supercharged Mustang, following an engine rebuild, he decidded to get the calibration checked out.

We initially did some logging, and ran it on the Dyno to find lots of knock, and some lean conditions. 

We made the decision to modify the calibration accordingly, based on the logs. The ECU was encrypted. Naturally. Fortunately, I have some real good friends in the industry. Massive shout out to Kenny from Motorsport Developments LTD for using my Bench read to decrypt the lock, allowing me to tune it normally via HPTuners. 

At this point my HP Tuners  software decided it needed to update it's VCM firmware, and bricked itself beyond repair, naturally. So my my next shout out goes to Dave at MET & Metclean Automotive Equipment who lent me his HPTuners VCM for the day. I sent the wife up to collect it. 

What a day. 😂😂

Ultimately ended up with a happy customer and 730 safer BHP's.

But behold, the glorious noise of the supercharged 5.0 V8. 🔥🥳

Running too much boost for the fuse box lid, which is also carbon! 🤤

I thought I'd pop a video up of it, it's only running low boost at the moment, and making some decent numbers. It'll be back soon running Moon Boost, and I'll do a more in depth post and video.

Cracking piece of kit, obviously running a Maxxecu! Maxxecu Race on this beasty.

Rick's Jaguar XJ. Sporting one of our AJ16 ECU & Loom packages, coupled with an AIM PDM08, and the Swallows M118 kit. 

We move the throttle bodies on the supercharged race cars wherever possible. It allows insane throttle response, and allows us to use tried and tested front mount intercoolers. It took some real time getting it all to work nicely though initially. Consistent power delivery is maintained through a whole race using this system though. 

We look forward to seeing rick out on this beast this year, race season is well upon us now!

The brand new MaxxECU Race Gen 2I can't tell you how excited I am to introduce you all to this powerhouse!I've been running a pre-production one of these on Senderella for a while now, and I can tell you, it's genuinely glorious! The ultimate in flexibility and reliability!Some Headlines:Dual LSU5.2 Wideband onboardDual CAN-BUSWi-FiBluetoothDual Knock Control16gb onboard datalogging up to 1000hz all 1600+ channels8 Pulse inputs16 Injectors16 GP Outputs24 Analogue InputsFull Spec Here:www.p-v-e.co.uk/product/maxxecu-race-gen-2/So flexible.....you want to use an ignition output for something else? Go mad - just select 5v/12v/GND output, and select it's output. Done.WIFI to M-Tune software & Tablets (2026)I've been working to change a lot of our current V8 Jaguar plug-ins & packages. This ECU suits everything we do with the Jaguar engines, so it made perfect sense to change a little direction in what we're doing. We've had quite a few enquiries over the last few months regarding our plug-in systems, but I've not been able to give any information away at that point. 2025 will see the relevant upgrades/changes we've made which I'll do a separate post about. But believe me, this has been a fantastic move for us! Free PVE Mount bracket with Anti-Vibration Protection for a limited time, available here separately:www.p-v-e.co.uk/product/maxxecu-race-ecu-generation-2-ecu-mount-bracket/Massive thanks to the MaxxECU Team for smashing this out of the park!

Had a crappy couple of weeks honestly, started with getting a tooth pulled out, which went from bad to bloody worse!Id dropped my car down to the man the legend James King at JEK Fabrications a while ago.A couple years ago I'd discussed with him the air intake I wanted to do. It was complex, and involved more time and money than I could deal with at that point.James pulled all the stops out, as per usual. He can virtually read my mind the fucker. It's just what I had planned! He did the same with the exhaust when I wanted that done! I hope he can't see all the sordid nonsense that goes in my mind saying that!Either way, behold. The full titanium PVE 'Big Dong CAI' that I wanted!Extra BHP's?! Probably next to nothing at this point, although, it's a bigger diameter than the alloy one we'd thrown together a few years ago. When we come to machining the supercharger out next year, we'll be all set and golden! I just wanted it. Because I'm a childish fuck, and I'm happy with that! 🤘Also a thanks to Stefan Golesworthy for some last minute titanium profiling!Thanks big man, for my Titanium Elephants Trunk, bring the noise!Oh, and a 'sorry' to LJEK Fabricationsthought we were &#Maxxecu / Maxxtuning ABthSwallows Jaguar - Swallows Racing@r#senderellas#xka#x100 #XKRx#titaniumB#fabricatorJ#jekfabrications #elephantstrunkr#bigdong #swallowsracinga#CAI #fabricator #jekfabrications #elephantstrunk #bigdong #swallowsracing #cai ...

I was reluctant when Mike Fernie asked me to do a little interview about Senderella. My first answer was "nope"! I always feel awkward with this sort of thing honestly. Even more awkward when I watch it back! Mike, ever the professional, asked me questions he knew I'd be able to answer without too many of my socially awkward traits showing through!Developing the Swallows Jaguar - Swallows Racing projects are some of our favourite things to be doing!Look out for Mike's new projects on the YouTube!I got a cheeky mention in for my partner in crime the JEK Fabrications ! ...

Lack of updates this week, to which I apologise! A couple of Maxxecu's in for checking over. As we all know, water and electronics don't mix! The Maxxecu Street was sent to us to replace the on-board MAP sensor. These ECU's are absolutely solid they rarely give trouble of any sorts, but this customer had a bit of trouble, that inadvertently pressurised water down the vacuum line. We replaced the on-board MAP sensor with a genuine Maxxecu sensor. A quick test, and it's special delivery straight back to the client. We keep these in stock should this happen to you, we are more than happy to help. All the details are on the website. www.p-v-e.co.ukThe second was a Maxxecu Mini. Again, absolutely solid little unit. Until, the seal for the usb connection gets broken off, then gets taken for a little swim! 🫣🫣 In this instance, the ECU was sadly a write off. We like to keep the customer as happy as we can though, a brand new ECU sent out from stock with a good discount applied directly from Maxxecu themselves. Just one of the reasons we like dealing with Maxxecu. No messing about, cracking#tuningshede#maxxecu##servicee#MapSensor #onboard #repairsor #onboard #repair ... See MoreSee Less
