Entirely new company, they are a well established company though.

Looks good... I'll keep watching this thread. How are engine temps looking?

charliex · 04-07-2008, 05:50 PM

they look fine, runs around the same temps as the S, slightly lower.

CARB, i've asked about but i doubt it'll happen for now, there just isn't enough demand to counter the CARB testing costs, switchable maps have been developed though so that is an option to consider.

If a switchable map is put in place, can the CVN that is read from the ECU when in the stock map configuration match what the smog testing equipment expects for this car? If it doesn't match, we could fail the smog test in a few years as California gets stricter about such things.

How easily reversed to stock (or close enough) is this kit?

So its air to air intercooler right?

Man, this is nice. Kinda what poeple have been wanting for a while and not that outragous now that we have been normalized to $5000

charliex · 04-07-2008, 06:30 PM

The CVN is based on the current maps selected, so it'll go off that. Reversal is about the same as the others, just the added IC removal obviously.

yep A2A.

xeeeejme · 04-07-2008, 06:51 PM

Slightly random question...

For Exiges, will the roof scoop be rendered virtually useless? (more useless than currently, that is). Or will the extra air flow benefit anything?

Chris Mackey · 04-07-2008, 06:51 PM

While you're answering questions:

Will the kit require clam removal for install?

Interesting question, don't know, since I never truely found out an answer on to why its blocked off on the NA cars, the list is, turbulence problems in the engine bay, temperatures higher, didn't like the look of the unfinished fibreglass so blocked it off.,

i guess we'll find out!

Doesn't need to be, however as with most of these things, it'll be a lot easier if it is.

Well done Charlie! I can't wait to see the kit in person, but based on everything else I have seen from you, I'm sure it will be top notch!

Will you be having any recommended installers?

Cheers,

Brian

danielg · 04-07-2008, 07:43 PM

let me know when it can be ordered and who to give the CC information to.

Which leads me to ask if there is any thought to having a different intercooled option in the future? That is, a2w and/or using a mounting position similar to the one seen in the Exige S?

charliex · 04-07-2008, 07:56 PM

Yep we're going to be adding all sorts of options/upgrades to this kit, since its going to be a worldwide kit, so lots of R&D and have bought a car to test stuff out on, rather than use a customers test mule. Also got their own fabrication and manufacturing facilities, this is a different league i hope.

Once this is installed, someone needs to start a post about how it improves your mileage. I need to sell the wife!

Looks good Charlie, can't wait to see it out here.

sfelise · 04-07-2008, 08:51 PM

Finally an inter-cooled kit! I have lots of questions but the main one is: when can I order it?
