Re: Exige V6 Upgrades
The Harrop charger is pricey at 6k pretty sure 8-10k gets you a charge cooled setup from komotec that’s where I’d be going if I was made of money. And some ohlins

Re: Exige V6 Upgrades
What’s the different positives and negatives between intercooled and chargecooled?

Re: Exige V6 Upgrades
Intercoolers need to be in the airflow so don’t work too well in mid engine layout for example the S2 Exige. Charge cooling means you can put a remote RAD in the airflow without miles of induction plumbing. Benefits of (chargecooling) more stable temps and no heat soak into the RAD from the engine bay. Downside weight of plumbing, pumps and coolant.

Re: Exige V6 Upgrades
Think I’d try a suspension upgrade first as the standard stuff is a bit limiting imo. 311 stylee.

Yeah think it would make a difference but waiting until they’re better priced.
The car does roll a fair bit on the bilsteins and I didn’t like them much on the s2 either

Re: Exige V6 Upgrades
I wonder if Stu has fitted his 1-Way Nitrons yet.

Re: Exige V6 Upgrades
That harrop arrangement is a chargecooler. Would be a lovely upgrade. The question is really what management you can get to take advantage of it.
Re: Exige V6 Upgrades
Jim from 2bular has mentioned about offering an ECU, but it would be better to see what SSC offer. SSC have still not mentioned anything about the headers and exhaust that they were testing in conjunction with the TVS1900 and TVS1900 Chargecooler kits.
I have not read about Hoffman’s offering the TVS1900 Carge Cooled kit yet. Chris Randall also offers Nitrons too, which would be a good one stop option.
