Dyno testing completed last Sunday.

Executive summary: 2007 Lotus Exige S w/ rls Intercooler and 3.1" pulley, everything else stock including stock ECU.

Result: +26 horsepower at the wheels. We don't recommend the 3.1" pulley w/ the stock intercooler...

Dynos to follow. Waiting for electronic files from the dyno owner.

With the rls Intercooler, heat soak was decimated. When the stock intercooler was busy losing 20+ horsepower within a couple of dyno pulls, the rls Intercooler was still forging ahead with great results after 1/2 a dozen dyno pulls and more. Alone, the rls Intercooler adds 6.5% to your horsepower (compared to a non-heat-soaked stock intercooler), and when you compare it to the easily heat-soaked stock intercooler, you are really gaining multiples of that.

Dyno results from a 2008 Exige S240 within a couple of weeks.

A/F were great. Testing was done at about 550 feet ASL (above sea level).

The pulley is available as an add-on to the rls Intercooler. Stock belt works well, no slipping.

As you might imagine, the rls Intercooler is in demand and new orders can expect a 3 week lead time. Remember, these are hand welded by true craftsmen... you can't rush art.

You can order the rls Intercooler, and the pulley option, from me directly (e-mail preferred over PM), from Blackwatch Racing, or from Fox Valley Motorcars.
