BEGI Component Quality
We have been taking
a beating by a competitor that blessed and sold our equipment for years
regarding “quality”. It was “great” then, but now it “has
problems”.
It was my expectation that FM and BEGi would take “the
high road” regarding nonsense attempts at mutual destruction via the
path of “their crap has enormous problems, therefore your only logical
choice is to buy our junk”. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like
its going to be a two way deal. Every individual in my
organization has the explicit order to refrain from ANY criticism of
ANY competitor. I’m not sure it always works, but that’s the
order. Should the one way deal continue, we will deal with it by
an analysis of merits on a part for part examination. Even though
I am operating under the same gag order as all my people, I gotta tell
you, that analysis would be an enormous amount of fun.
Regardless of who, what, or where, if you liked our
designs and manufacture when the competitor sold them, our all new
systems should prove very worthy of your approval.
In my view, whether it “was, is, has been, never was,
will never be, will one day be again, always will be” or other, here is
the deal: NO ONE WILL BUILD A HIGHER QUALITY TURBOCHARGER OR
SUPERCHARGER SYSTEM FOR THE MAZDA MIATA THAN ME.......Corky Bell
Here’s my version of the meaning of “Quality”: |
 |
| |
|
Quality of Design
- Knowing where
power comes from and adhering to the principles
- Knowing where
“useability” comes from
- Knowing where the
heat goes
- Knowing all the
materials involved
- Knowing the
characteristics of compressor air flows
- Knowing how the
turbine exhaust gas flows
- Knowing how a
wastegate works
- Knowing why
components are designed one way and not another

|
Quality
of Engineering
- Strength analysis
of critical items
- Heat effect
analysis of critical items
- Fastener analysis
- Heat exchange
calculations
- Optimization of
heat transfer direction and quantity
- Verification of
results
|
|
| |
|
Quality of
Manufacture
- The exclusive use
of the heli-arc welding process
- All tube
assemblies are of mandrel bent precision, heli-arc welded and bead
rolled
- Machine work
precision with Digital Instruments
- Appropriate and
durable surface finishes
- Parts Photos: Theirs vs. Ours

|
Quality of
Components
- The turbocharger
selection and options based on performance
- Stainless Steel
braided fluid lines
- T-Bolt hose clamps
- Fastener selection
|
|
| |
|
Quality of
Engine Management
- The XEDE system
offered into the aftermarket by Mr. Shiv Pathak. The OEM’s ought to
take notice of both the
XEDE and America’s foremost aftermarket tuner, Mr. Pathak.
- The Rising Rate
Regulator was introduced to the performance industry in 1975. It is
still the best combination of performance and value for low boost
systems.
- I was one of the
first people to use a fuel pressure regulator on a returnless fuel
system.

Quality of
Service
- Information
- Assistance during
standard working
hours and weekends
- Knowledge

response

Quality of
Commitment
Recently we made
the decision to market our designs, then known as the Miata FM turbo
and “Uber” supercharger systems. Toward that end we wanted
a clear stamp of new
technology, thus we have redesigned virtually every component of the
Miata forced induction systems. Within the last seven months,
we’ve built, documented, and
tooled to produce eighteen
turbo or supercharger system variations
while the competition has introduced a new
intercooler, throttle inlet
tube for the MSM, a downpipe casting and an exhaust manifold. The level
of effort and productivity offer an interesting comparison. We
have created and engineered these systems with a passion and intent
beyond all reason. The results clearly suggest that whenever we’re
caught thinking, i'm not thinking about shift
knobs, strut bars and polished surfaces. I'm thinking about going
faster.

This is what we have heard from customers
in recent years:
"I am
very
happy to report that the Series II turbo kit with the BEGi fuel system
still performs flawlessly. Engine temperatures are normal, even
when stopped in traffic in 95+ degree weather. The car does not have
issues in the spring and fall like the (stock) MINI Cooper S."
"Thanks alot
for all the help you gave us and for helping me buy the kit from you
guys, I was happy with it when it ran, didn't explode, and didnt throw
up liquids everywhere. Even when it ran like crap (due to a loose
hosebarb) it was awesome, you guys rule."
"You guys
have all gone the extra mile and I greatly appreciate the excellent
customer service and knowledge you and BEGI had offered, I will
definitely recommend BEGI to my miata co-conspirators!"
"Can I
order an extra downpipe to put on my mantle for display?"
"All this for
$3500.00? Really?"
"That's a
work of art."
"WOW"
"242 rwhp?
Hot Damn"
"Best lookin'
stuff I've seen in the aftermarket"
"Best
instructions I've ever read"
"Best looking
design of any cast manifold in the aftermarket"
"Clean and
Elegant"
"I just gotta
have that beautiful downpipe"
"The Tuning
God and The Turbo God, does life get better than this?"
"Simple
Installation (adj) -Something easy enough for Stephanie to
install."
"Wow!
I thought customer service was dead!! Thanks so much!"
"Yes,
that's the way I like it. I beat an 02 turbo carrera 4 who would
always beat me in the past. How about that, RWD Miata spanks a
$60,000 dollar Porche. Oh Yeah!!!!!! Just
think how it will be when Steph gets me tuned much closer to
perfect. I think there is another 1.5 or more in this car.
BEGI RULES, MIATA RULES."
