Do all you TVS owners have aftermarket headers ? what brand ?

Anyone have any vids or links to what this added power is like in a Elise/Exige ...

I have a Exige S 240 now but would like to see what 280-300rwhp is like in these cars ... Is it really a huge noticeable difference from a Exige S 240 ?

Hell yeah there's a difference!

Here's a comparison between my current TVS setup (blue), my old Katana setup (red) and a stock Elise (green). The 229whp Katana setup is just about spot-on with an S240 in power.

Notice that the increase in torque/power with the TVS vs. Katana is just about the same as the Katana over stock... so figure that getting a TVS setup would feel about the same as a S240 Exige over a stock Exige...

Enjoy!

cheers for that mate,

My Exige S240 with Quicksilver headers, sport cat and GT3 style muffler only made 200rwhp on a dyno dynamics dyno ???

The dyno jet dyno seems the most popular in the US but is there this much difference in comparison or has the full exhaust system decreased my power output ?

This kit seems to be the best most advanced supercharger on offer today, would be nice with a built engine and more boost ;-)

headers lean out the A/F ratio and you lose power. You need a retune.

Considering he is asking people who have TVS installed I don't think this is an issue since they are running efi and can retune for it.

Exactly ;-)

Not interested in tuning as already sold my std supercharger kit ..

Just curious as to why most people on here quote 220-230rwhp for S240 and i made 200rwhp with a full exhaust ....

Anyways ........

So much for my turbo build, im totally convinced this is the way to go for my application now ...
