Which one would you do?

[atom290]

I am looking to get an exige, but in the ever struggle for power, one k-series in the family is enough!!!!

So which would you do and why?

Im going to get a S1 and then change the engine

Honda power and supercharge to about 300bhp
Toyota power and supercharge to about 250bhp
VAG 1.8T with a slight increase of power to 350bhp

My thoughts are the VAG engine, coupled with a Sadev 6 speed sequential gearbox

VAG tgar shit man. you can never have enough power.

You ever thought of going to turbo technics and supercharging the K series the VHPD when supercharged will happily see 260bhp plus it will be alot cheaper

[atom290]

Ive already gone down the supercharger route and achieved 290bhp.

But they dont last long, the engine was only designed as a 1.2 with about 80bhp, and stressing the engine much further only leads to expensive rebuilds.....mine lasted 36 hours

So thats why I want to use an engine thats not a k-series

Try exige.com you are bound to get people with hands on experience with all the options.

[bogie]

out of those options the Supercharged Honda suits the car the best IMO

The TT260 K series is not offered by TT anymore - too many problems keeping them together

[Ju.]

It lasted 36 hours that sounds like it was not put together properly then to me.

[atom290]

It was definitely put together well, it was just the charge temps were a little too high.

It did do 260 miles more than it was originally given though

[NightFall111S]

Are the costs of all 3 installs (Honda, Toyota, Audi) the same?

[DanH]

I'd probably go for a honda, although thats the only engine mod I've driven. It was nice though.

Not sure I'd bother super charging it either!
