Drive - Tuned! - Exige 710bhp

[the ronin]

It's done and to keep things without drama I kept it at a nice mellow 614 whp and 420 ft tq.

A nice bit of Group B anti lag.... Instant 30 psi. :smoking:

Here you can see the throttle positioned boost control, no drama...

Looks awesome frank.

That colour scheme does a nice justice to the exige too

[jwo]

That is fantastic Frank!

Frank, awesome curve

But i would of thought with the compound charging you would have a little more torque lower end

Or am i missing something (as havent read whole thread)

I removed the supercharger and am now just the average 614 whp RS211.... :wavy:

Too much torque in the lower rpm causing rod bearing issues it seems. So what was a great R$D adventure is now back to a high revving turbo motor.
Compound charging works and works well but the little 2ZZ rod bearings just can't keep up with the low rpm torque loads...

Now I have the same power numbers but peak torque coming in 1,000 rpm later but staying up all the way to red line with 6 psi. less boost..

Frank.

Are you not letting Mat Farah drive this car?

I was really looking forward to hear him in fits of giggles driving it.

Not unless he comes up with insurance coverage, I have no desire to let someone that knows nothing about the car to get behind the wheel..

Frank - any canyon videos coming out soon? Cheers

Seems a reasonable request.

Glad to see yet more progress with the car. She looks vicious!!!
