Engine Performance Additive Specification Example for Racing Teams: Low Maintenance Version
Engine Performance Additive Specification Example for Racing Teams: Low Maintenance Version
This is a worked specification for engine performance additive in a low maintenance version programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The low maintenance version version exists because the duty cycle on racing teams is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a specification nobody had written down.
Example specification
| Item | Engine Performance Additive |
|---|---|
| Application | Racing Teams |
| Version | Low Maintenance Version |
| Base material | Kevlar Composite |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | painted |
| MOQ | 500 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 10 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | ISO/TS 16949 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Kevlar Composite, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- surface grinding
- heat treatment
- robot welding
- assembly line testing
- CNC machining
- precision stamping
Where this example applies
Programmes that run low maintenance version most often specify this build for racing teams. Related applications include construction equipment, aftermarket retail, off-road bikes, delivery vans, emergency vehicles.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the ISO/TS 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 500 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
