My S1 exige was Honda'd at Phoenix motorsport in early 2008, very happy with the N/A until i met Darren Cudd while i was doing some work for Omex performance electronics, he suggested a Rotrex...  after a few TD's with an intercooler we decided a charge cooler was the way forward...  Again, very happy with the performance, Darren then up sticks and moves to silverstone to work for TTS, we then decide to up the boost and change the cams, however after discussion we decide screw it! sleeve the block, 2.2L stroker kit, uprated rods pistons etc....  Oh yes and bigger blower, a MUCH bigger blower...  Now to take the extra power i have decided to swap all the wishbones to S2 K series items and run the uprights with the S2 bearing packs... Powder coated and new balljoints C/W JSR rosejoints...  2 pots on the rear too...  A job we have been discussing for a while is to make some Ally uprights, so darren has been busy in 3D solidworks...   Bracket for the new S/C...   I'm sure once i point Darren to this thread he can update as he goes too.... Marc.

Wow that is fantastic, saw an orange S1 with a boosted K20 out in LeMans and another with a 20V Turbo Audi lump in it.
No doubt it will be fabulous, went in a mates/fellow PHers modified Exige Type 72 out in LeMans and that was sensational ! so more power can only be more insane.

500bhp  It's like a scaled down Noble M600, but probably even faster!

Having experienced a supercharged Honda S1 recently, I can confirm this is herocially silly. Best of luck, I look forward to being overtaken by you at an exiges.com trackday soon!

That's going to be insane! Although won't you have problems trying to put 500bhp down in such a light car?
