On the remap front their is only one option at present which is available from Sinclaire Motorsport Clicky There are no details on their website so ring Wayne for more details power goes up to about 260bhp
If you want to go further they do a charge cooler package as well Details , my car is the first one to have both and it is great. Their is also another option for charge cooler and remap together which is the Komotec sold by Hanger 111. Both similar around 280+bhp and about �4500 fitted, I made my choice to buy the Sinclaire\Proalloy conversion and so far mine is the only one, there are a couple of 280S Komotec conversions running around. PM me for more info why I bought what I did.
Full details of my car are Here
The main thing is to drive it and enjoy it
Before you look at remapping the engine there are a few other things you can do:
Fit a stiffer/adjustable front ARB.
Change the suspension, the OE fit is good ‘out of the box’ but is still a compromise between road/track. There are plenty of options but Ohlins and Nitrons are popular.
Get the geo looked at, it’s not unusual for a Lotus to leave the factory with it ‘slightly’ out - it is amazing what a difference a quick check/adjustment can make.
The remap is not so simple ! Sinclaires are the UK supplier for the Gotham upgrade but all this provides is a new ECU and bigger injectors - claimed gains are up to 45bhp. A better solution is to get the upgrade and change the intercooler at the same time! Proalloy do a kit that costs about �4000 inc. VAT.
Another option is Komotec through Hangar111, more expensive at �4500-5000 but gives 280(ish)bhp.
I am probably only after 20 bhp or so, I never like to push things. I also want to retain the OEM ECU ideally.
RE the suspension, it’s going to be more of a road car than a track car so the billies will be staying for now. I’m more coming to the conclusion that hiring a Caterham is the way forward!
I was led to believe I already have an adjustable front ARB? Mine is the sport pack so has harnesses, traction control etc.
The Geo I will definately get looked at - anyone have the advised settings?
I love driving this car day to day, apart from parking which is comical. I have had to get out and check nothing is behind me a couple of times now
Sadly there is not a tune that will give you 20hp, however by the time a I added a sports cat decent exhaust and the charge cooler that was about where I was with the standard ECU. See Here
On the induction side, I see ITG Maxogen do some stuff for the Elise / Egixe S2 but no mention if they cover the Exige S? I’m guessing the intake is different on the S?
Hi John - nice to meet you! Love the car.
Exigeboy - ta
Mr Pesky - a guy I work with had one of the first Exige S1’s, in Red and used it for hillclimbs. Since I saw it all those years ago, I wanted an Exige His used to break down a lot though
As a bit of advise, don’t put an induction kit on, just change the filter, sadly the throate size on induction kits are NOT the same where the MAF sensor is, this means the car will run lean and more than likely loose power
