Gold FFM paranoidandroid 59 Posted June 19 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 19 Just wondered why the S1 Evora has a silver supercharger casing yet the Exige of the same age seems to have the lovely black supercharger casing with the Lotus badge. Assume it’s purely cosmetic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
au-yt 426 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 My only assumption was that the EVORA S has a cover over the engine, https://www.deroure.com/diagrams.asp?TBL=12613&MAK=1&MDL=20&SMA=0&SMO=0&ST=&SC=0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bravo73 1,217 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 ^^^^This^^^^ (The black is more expensive to produce so why bother if it’s going to be hidden under a cover?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM paranoidandroid 59 Posted June 20 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 20 Shame as I think the cover looks a bit naff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bravo73 1,217 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 So do I. Naff and unnecessary weight. So I don't use it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mattmahope 214 Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 My 2016 Exige 350 came with a silver supercharger. That’s part of the reason I changed it for the CC TVS1900 unit. Any excuse...! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gold FFM C8RKH 5,721 Posted June 21 Gold FFM Report Share Posted June 21 Yes, a cost cut too far in my very humble opinion. Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies! The first guy to ride a bull for fun, was a true hero. The second man to follow him was truly nuts!

Even in “Road” map it feels so much stronger than it did when it was running nearly 400hp before I installed the kit because of the extra torque. In “Race” map it is bonkers fast. The great thing is that the chassis can definitely handle it. It feels rabidly fast but not out of control, partly because it is so linear in delivery with mega midrange. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julian73 151 Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 If you don't like the raw aluminum Evora SC and want to eliminate the cover .. just paint it! and fit fwd Exige cover (rear isn't needed, that part doesn't show through hatch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My cover has a crack on it, replacement part is crazy money. Attached by sleight of hand. We of course don't have the treaded bosses on our SC case so I cut back the allen head screws and RTV'd in place (just for show) and RTV's the (plastic) plate to the SC housing. 4 dabs and its been holding for years, including with current owner. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
