Sorry if this has been asked before, but couldn’t find it in the archives. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the differences in engine spec between the 220bhp Exige S, the 240PP, and the 260 Cup. My understanding is that the 240 just has bigger injectors and a different ecu map compared to the 220 (and the roof scoop of course)- is this right? And does the 260 just add a larger intercooler, or dos it have other mods too. I guess it must as presumably you wouldn’t get 20bhp extra just from a slightly bigger intercoler?
Mark I looked into upgrading my 218BHP S at the factory and was sent the folowing;
240 Upgrade -
DESCRIPTION PART NUMBER
Big Brake Kit, inc. front pads DLS43J0040J
Rear Pads A111J0151S
Braided Hose Kit ALS3J0046F
Brake Fluid A340J6001S
Roof Assy. Large air intake A122B0343J
Larger Intercooler ALS3E0169F
Airbox ALS3E0157
Air Filter ALS3E0158
Fuel Injector Kit A129E6000F
Fuel pump ALS3L0041
Retainer Cap
255PS RECALIBRATION ALS3M0240F
Looks like the 240 is achieved by a bigger roof scoop, larger injectors and remap. The 255 is the same as the 240 with a larger fuel pump, air box and larger intercooler added over the 240. I was told that neither power upgrades would be carried out unless accompanied by the AP 4 pot brake upgrade.

My (STANDARD) 240 CUP has 243 BHP (in the catalogue ) and no big brake kit or large roofscoop as standard.
So the bigger roofscoop is not needed to hit the 240 mark. How to determine the the injector size? I will look if I can find a part no. on them.
The 240 Cup cars are quite different from the S PP and late cup cars.
AFAIK they are cable throttle rather than electronic. Had a fifth injector and original N/A injectors plus a modified N/A roof rather than the S or PP roof.
It was the first SC Exige they had done and the S was designed on it.

Ade,
That is not right the limited version 240R (2005, 40 made in black and yellow) had a cable throttle. The 240 CUP (2006) has an electronic throttle and is similar to the S and PP. Above the 240 PP spec the 240 CUP has twin oil coolerr and better fully adjustable dampers.
Q
I stand corrected, I forgot there were 2 models almost named the same…

Just got the car back with a new gearbox, I now need to find the time to strip it down, but I have since found out that 3rd is the most poular gear to go (like mine) as it is the narrowist of all of them. Just not sure if it was the input or output side that failed. I might never know as I drove it home from Spa the first hundred miles were very noisy untill all the old broken bits fell off
