Supercharger Info?

[craignicol]

Not sure if anyone can shed any light on the below questions. A friend of mine has to know everything about everything but it did get me thinking to:

What info could you provide about the supercharger fitted to the Exiges? Do you know the make / model / layout etc? Just out of interest really as I’m trying to get my head around the whole issue of sizing a charger and selecting the correct pulley size.

Do the Lotus tuning folk fit smaller pulleys to up the boost? What sort of boost figures do you get?

The Charger is an Eaton MP62. I think the standard pulley size on the Exige S is 3.4" but I may be wrong.

The MP62 is available in many different configurations dependant on bypass valve positioning, nose length, etc.

Thanks for the info Dan,
After a little more digging it would appear that a bigger charger would be a rather straight forward modification.
(Need to put these ideas straight out of my head!)

No benefit from a bigger charger really.

The MP62 will give more than enough boost. Chargecooling and a smaller pulley is the way forward on an Exige S.

Do you do upgrades to get 2008 Exige S to circa 300 bhp?

How much?

Cheers.

I would still be keen to get this 260 upgrade that people were speaking about.
Anyone got anymore feed back on that yet?

Nope, the garage hasn't got back to me yet.
