CUP 240 or 240R induction

[stuart1969]

Have any owners of CUP 240's or 240R's done anything on the induction side of the engine. Having looked at the engine bay it would seem like a big OEM airbox as usual. Had a Viper on my S2 111S and was wondering if the same could be fitted on the new toy.

P.S. first service on Monday so I will update you on the "full" performance when i get a chance.

I did talk to Lotus Sport about this, the said with the current setup there would be no benefit of changing the intake unless you where going to increase the boost. Not sure if that was a fob off or not really, but they did say any changes on the 240 engine would invalidate the already short warranty.

So I'd check with Lotus Sport before doing anything as they warrant the car not Lotus Cars as with normal Exiges.

just sit and wait(or drive) till your warant is over? or be a naughty boy and play with it
On the 300hp RED Cup Exige they had some sort of BIG bucket around there airfilter and a BIG hose supplying the air in the inlet...

I asked the dealer when i ordred my Exige S if the ITG induction kit on my NA Exige S2 would fit the SC car and he said no but then again he said that my Quicksilver exhaust would not fit and thats not true as some 240s have stage 2 exhausts fitted .

Some dealers do not all know...
Also when a police officer asks the criminal did you steal that, he also may say NO
just a joke...

Is the sound far different from the Exige S? I though that sounded superb with the 'standard' kit on it. Really nice blend of induction, engine and supercharger, none of which was intrusive or overbearing. A good balance straight out of the box!

I wouldn't go to far of the orignal sound...maybe a induction kit and decatpipe and then see and hear what that does...? but I don't know because I don't own one...sadly, but it has a different exhaust out the box so...time will tell when those first 1.500 miles are on the clock and have had some 1.000 miles under full load after that..then listen what you like to change, I would leave it allone till then.

So is the air box on the 240r/240 Cup/S cars the same as the NA Exige ?

[Joe - Exige S]

So we think a stage 2 will go on an S OK? - I can't see why it won't but my dealer is not 100% - They have ordered one to go on my S so I guess we will have to wait and see.

Any thoughts?

Joe, I have the CUP 240 with a stage 2 on it, there will be no difference in fitting this to a CUP or an Exige S in my opinion. Just go for it, they sound wicked!!

Stuart

P.S. only 3 days till first service then i can let you know how it sounds at FULL LOAD!!!!!!!!!

[GTRene]

But Joe has already a different exhaust then the origenal Cup Exige..theres a different stuart, better for him wait a bit to find out how that is to him before spending money on something else? at least thats what I would do, there is to less info about it, because its all to new and its no standard exhaust like the Cup had...

theres no benefit on a supercharged car - if its making the power with the induction you have then no point changing it other than for noise....only worth changing if its restricting the power

same goes for exhausts and such like.......
