Direct Injection Control – IDU 1 & Additional Components
The BMW B48A uses a direct injection fuel system which requires a dedicated control module separate from the main engine management unit. Specifically, an IDU 1 (Injector Driver Unit) is required to manage direct injection operation on this engine when used in a race application.
We hold the following ancillary components in stock to complete a full, ready-to-run installation:
- IDU 1 — Injector Driver Unit for BMW B48A direct injection control
- Plenum mounting plate — purpose-made bracket to correctly mount the IDU 1 onto the engine plenum
- Correct sub looms — matching sub-harnesses to integrate the IDU 1 with the engine and chassis loom
Buyers are welcome to take the engines only, or to combine them with the ancillary package above. Please enquire for full pricing on individual components and assembly options.
About the BMW B48A Race Engine
The BMW B48A is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine developed for motorsport competition, based on BMW’s modular B-series architecture and refined for the demands of high-intensity circuit racing. In BTCC NBE (Next Generation Touring Car) specification, the B48A produces competitive power outputs with strong mid-range torque delivery, designed to suit the stop-start, high-load demands of the British Touring Car Championship circuit calendar.
West Surrey Racing (WSR) is one of the most successful and respected teams in BTCC history, having run BMW machinery to multiple drivers’ and teams’ championships. Engines prepared and run by WSR carry significant competition pedigree and represent a known quantity for any team looking to build or maintain a competitive programme on the Cosworth BTCC platform.
With SQ6M ECU compatibility and a loom matched to the Gen 2 Cosworth chassis, these engines are engineered for a straightforward integration into an existing BTCC-specification car — minimising build time and the engineering resource required to bring a car to the grid.
Ideal For
- BTCC teams and entrants running Gen 2 Cosworth chassis
- Independent BTCC competitors seeking proven engine spares
- Teams building new BMW BTCC entries from scratch
- Motorsport workshops requiring multiple units for a full season programme
- Historic or club-level touring car projects based on the B48A platform
- Any buyer running or familiar with the Cosworth SQ6M ECU platform
