Bomber133 18 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Came across this on the BOE site: https://www.boefab.com/collections/evora/products/evora-ips-shift-performance-kit Not heard of BOE personally. Shame it is US based as import duties and fitting costs may make it uneconomical. Out of interest, are there any other aftermarket kits to improve the IPS so that it gets closer to 400 territory - not that I find the IPS that bad now that I am more used to it? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del Lardo 100 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 BOE seem well respected in the US, I had one of the CAI fitted to my car and it was a nice, well designed bit of kit. I'd guess with shipping and import you are looking at about £1000 for the part plus £800 in labour, not an insignificant amount of money but people spend more on exhausts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM Techyd 231 Posted January 24, 2019 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Looks like a good upgrade, not quite sure I could justify that much though but will keep this in mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bomber133 18 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I may consider it and the Komo Tec 390 upgrade if I ever get enough cash together. Can't justify the cost of upgrading to a 400 auto, which is probably mine + £30k. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM paranoidandroid 63 Posted January 25, 2019 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Is the auto on the 400 a different box or just a software update on the S1 IPS? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal H 874 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 It's the same box, but I don't know whether the improved speeds are just down to software changes or other mechanical changes. You'd have thought if it was just software they would have used it on the current Exige Auto. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I understand it is the same box, but some different hardware, as well as software. Quote A Lotus is for driving, pork is for breakfast. Link to post Share on other sites

From a read of the description sounds like the kit contains some hardware but also their intellectual property in knowing what and how to make modifications to the existing box. You could maybe ask them too split the two and price up the hardware and IP separately. If the hardware comes in significantly cheaper than the IP then you wouldn't have to pay as much on the import duties as you only need to ship the hardware. The IP can be emailed across. Dunno if that will work ... just a possibility to ask about? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ratman 14 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 It should be HW only, if I remember well, due to the fact that the IPS ECU SW was difficult to change and somehow useless as they reached already the target making HW changes only Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geartox 592 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 We are thinking about that for my Exige. LSD and close ratio already planned, this modification could be really interesting. I am collecting more infos about that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
