Flight Of The Navigator chrome? Only kidding! biggrin

I still like metallic black or maybe a nice metallic Royal Blue, or something like Porsche Cobalt?

No. 2 is obviously a nod to the original Elise and I think it works quite well on the 211 as well.. Maybe with white wheels though - that could work, possibly?

BRG seems a good choice. Although interpretation of what is a true BRG is very much open to discussion.
I believe Aston Martin did some research a number of years ago that was given approval from many as being the closest to the original BRG used. Very dark, almost black from a distance

Dark Royal Blue with white or anthracite wheels, classy.

Or burgundy with the white wheels.

I've decided to go with the Audi red of my RS7. White or silver wheels look great with the red.

Of the two options - option 2.(which is great but wasn't that the colour scheme you had previously?).. How about the bright orange (like the exige) with black wheels or krypton green (I think that's the one) with black wheels...

Larger MP90 supercharger requires a redesign of the charge cooler for the better.. Less internal volume and this will improve throttle response . wink

Yeah, cause the throttle response wasn't quick enough tongue out

Top work Ronin smile the more I see of this, the more I want to head over to the states to see it in the flesh.

Nice work Ronin! Like the new charge cooler. What cores are you using? also what PSI is the supercharger producing (without the help of the turbo)?

The cores are custom Deeds Performance and rated to 100 psi.

I should have the car on the dyno this Saturday and I'll find out how much boost the MP90 will produce with the same 2.5" pulley I used on the MP62.
The MP90 flows 1/3 more air so things should be interesting in the low-mid range.

What are those cores rated at Ronin? Also is there any reason for going single pass rather than dual pass *as they are two separate cores)?

The M90 should give you a lot more airflow than the M62. Whats the reason for wanting to spin the blower at the same RPM as the M62?

Cores are rated at 1,000 hp and they are stacked as a single pass because they are more efficient than a dual pass in cooling air. More boost at a lower RPM is the goal.
