For those not on seloc or exiges.com i thought i'd post our build thread here too. Seeing as i'm starting this thread a few months after we started it may miss a few stages....

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.

euh...wow.
500hp and those updates sounds very good. (scary ride biggrin)
nice materials too, I bet those rotrex are a lot quieter then the normally more "standard" louder superchargers.
wonder how such big Rotrex works compared with the small one, I guess that works different then comparing a small turbo with a big turbo (lag)

Blimey, that is going to be rapid. Are you going for traction control?

I'm currently building a 400bhp engine for my VX220 and I think that's going to be more than a handful!

No Ronin, it' not done yet, but it is getting there! Mainly due to darren being really busy with real work and me being soooo busy last year to help or push him to finish it not a lot got done.
But the engine is now back in on some rough mounts for positioning while darren makes the new ones....

wow, respect sofar, hope its getting ready soon so we can hear the good things and or the things that could have bin better/different.

I see those vibra technics mounts, thats funny, yesterday I was looking at stronger engine mounts for my Hartge Z3 and came acros those vibra technics mounts too, and thought, yes...those could be someting for me to, so I saved the link.
You can get them in "road"/track or Competition form, the standard M coupe items crack overtime at the underside, which is made from to hard/brittle iron.

anyway good luck with that monster.
