WOW....with the greatest of respect, your comments could not be further from reality. We installed the Komo-Tec IDS gear box into our Exige 430 Cup two years ago, and at the same time added the KT piston and Rods resulting in 500HP and 530 nm. The install is like a factory install on my car, the engine mapping and gear box mapping where great from the get go, they clearly had a lot of development and i mean a lot!!l. We also had that same AIM cluster and the Coding by KT was very very good. But like all AIM products they can very very easily be updated by the End user, There is a high possibility that the cluster has been updated since install. Regarding gear ratio's we think they are truly great, on circuit they are an absolute peach. When we first installed the kit we did some performance testing and recorded a 0-100km time of 2.94 seconds. Komo-Tec are a very very well respected tuner in Lotus circle and the development is certainly there, The video's Ive seen do NOT do the conversions Justice

If you want to have a better idea of the power, remove 46 from 460 (so 414) to get an equivalent of the power at the crank if the engine was a naturally aspirated one. Weight is closer to 1200 kg than 1100. The Cx of the car isn't really efficient from factory. Even worse with those aero mods.

Nevertheless, a Exige puts mostly less HP, caused by high temperatures, or other things, or just the numbers are wrong.

@@DaEVOthefreak The power announced by Komotec for EX460 kit is about 460 HP at the crank. Not at the wheels. In that second case, you are right, you will have to add the power loss from the crank to the wheels due to the transmission and the supercharger. During a dyno run, power is measured at the wheels during acceleration. Then, the dyno measured how much braking power is generated at the wheels by the gearbox+transmission+supercharger while decelerating. Then you have to add this power value to the power at the wheels in order to get the crank power result. Hope that helps.

Doesn't seem fast but maybe it's the gap in gear ratios. The DCT shifts gears quick as usual but the response to the paddle shift is random, sometimes slow, other times fast. The double downshifts on braking are slow too.... The suspension setup is a bit soft for high speed stability and ride height too low for carrousel. The gauge cluster layout is awkward, rev counter is too big for the redline of the engine. And temp warning occupying the whole screen. This car could be better with change of gear ratios and better tune for suspension. It needs closer gear ratios which Lotus typically put in manual transmissions and change the final drive also. The engine itself is alright.

@@DaEVOthefreak I'm merely going by the countless Elise reviews on this assessment. Drivers seemed to find them easy to drive, chuckable, well behaved etc... I seem to remember Exige reviews to be positive also albeit edgier with the added power. I don't remember any reviews pointing to glaring inherent flaws so I did not expect this one to hold Misha back so much. I have no doubt tuning them is challenging. While far from an expert, I'd expect any car to be challenging to setup correctly. The added challenge from this platform I would attribute to low mass, mid engine layout (in this case a big V6 which is probably even tougher to compensate for compared to the i4) and short wheel base. Obviously, front to rear aero balance is particularly sensitive on such a platform but then I would have thought anyone pouring big resources in one would consult with experienced shops and the community to avoid major f ups. Then again, this sort of feedback gives the owner an opportunity to do more work on setup which is always fun and likely much less costly than the dct swap.

@@papapetad well, the tuner of this here is the world leading in Exige's! Look at the SportAuto ExigeS Round with Gebhard 11 years ago. A few years ago i was faced with the decision to buy an exige, i test drove a few. On the road it gives you a great, fast, exciting feeling, but is effectively no faster than others. I decided to go for a Caterham on the one hand and a Corvette C6Z06 on the other. And the Corvette outperforms the Exige in all areas and is also suitable for everyday use. The Exige is great, but not great enough

25k for DCT is crazy.. take that money and put sequential gearbox on it,it would be crazy!

Yep, put a sequential and become deaf. Also, spend even more money rebuilding it every year or so.

The idea of the ict was to find the best of both worlds. No manual gearbox but still a gearbox suitable for everyday use. This is not a racing car, therefore no sequential gearbox.

@@vvevvevvvv you do not have to rebuild sequential gearbox if you install the right one. Like the kaps from komotec. I hace a exige 380cup with sequential kaps installed, never had any problems in many years of using.

There's a bit of work to mate it to the 2GR-FE. I would expect at least 20k without knowing the real price.

It’s a more unique car so that bumps up the price, I want to put a zf8hp in my Falcon and iv spoke to someone who’s done it and it was 17k by the end of it including other parts to make it fit like aftermarket driveshaft, so gearbox swaps can be expensive 😬

theres nothing off the shelf that you can fit into this mid engined rear drive car. so good luck with less than 25k. also a 3,5L with a supercharger takes up a significant space of the engine bay just to give you a rough idea of fitment

Der Hauptfehler ist die Bereifung! An der Hinterachse 265er und an der Vorderachse lächerliche 205er. Ich fahre auf meinem Opel Speedster Turbo 215/235. Damit ist - neben einer gescheiten Einstellung des Fahrwerks - das Untersteuern weg. Diese Exige S hat das Potenzial für mehr, viel mehr.
@TheJohn87653 ай бұрын
Yah, the 205s is 10 less than my bone stock work-car Mazda3. Like, what?? Why put such a tiny tire on something with 40% more horsepower than stock (plus other mods, I assume). Very odd choice.
