PJ Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 I'm looking to power upgrade my Exige S. Although contact with Komo-tec is very appropriate I became aware of Jubu recently. I've seen info on Komo-tec 430 upgrade which looks reliable but haven't seen it on Jubu other than the crazy build they recently did of which I'm sure all have seen by now. Both seem to offer an equal power upgrade looking at the 430 range in example. Any suggestions on pros and cons?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFWilliams Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Can’t speak for Jubu, but have done over 30k miles in my car which has the Komo-tec 460 kit fitted and it’s been absolutely perfect in all that time. To me that says a lot about how good a kit it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbert Camshaft Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) If you consider a power upgrade go for the EX460 with the watercooled chargecooler - otherwise I recommend the close gear ratio over an upgrade prone to heat soak like the phase EX430 or smaller Apart from that: I would always choose KomoTec, they are the benchmark and their solutions are proven reliable Edited October 12, 2020 by Wilbert Camshaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<Rainer> Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 My Exige with EX460 kit and quite some more stuff delights me during 10+ Trackdays a year. I only can agree to what Wilbert said this kit is very reliable even under hard conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark030358 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Have to reiterate what the guys above are saying... Happy Ex-460 owner here. But beware, you will need a clutch at some point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted October 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) As I am not doing really any track driving, just like the raw power at times, would the Komo-tec 430 do or is it stupid to do 430 vs 460 in my case would anyone say? Also, no experiences here with Jubu so it seems? Edited October 12, 2020 by PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StefanT1101 Posted October 12, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I did a 430 upgrade at JUBU this spring/ early Summer and I am totally satisfied with it. It‘s insane fast and works without any problems. They did the 430 upgrade and some other stuff (nitrons, etc.) within one work day. Just have a look to my video about my upgrade-day at JUBU: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted October 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Nice vid! Do believe Jubu does well too. More challenging is that they are even further away.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted December 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 So now I'm between Komo-tec 430 upgrade or SSC similar upgrade although the power increase there seems to be less. Also changing out the manifolds, mid pipe and sport cat with ECU flash. I've heard of insane great products from SSC. Any recommendations between these 2 upgrades as I haven't seen much on power upgrades here from SSC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark030358 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 460 Ex is faultless and proven many times over..... the go to upgrade imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmahope Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 If you are never going to want more than 460hp (and in reality that is plenty for anyone!) then definitely go KT460. It’s an excellent product, loads of power and reliable. Only go for a TVS1900 if you want 500+hp. The chargecooled version (which is what i have) is a seriously nice piece of kit and will give you more power than you could ever want, but it will require a load more work to get working properly. The ultimate rewards are greater but the cost and hassle to get there are also greater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 And SSC without tvs1900? I'm comparing Komo-tec 430 set against similar of SSC but the power gains seem to be more at Komo-tec (but using Imran his v2 air intake) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristof Thys Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Chosing between a non-charge cooled TVS1320 or a non-charge cooled TVS1900 is easy if money is no objection. That TVS1900 will spin a lot slower but still shifts a bigger volume of air, hence keeping it a lot cooler. What do you mean "SSC without TVS1900"; just a remap and a bigger crank pulley (just like the komotec offering)? In such case, I would go for neither.

PJ Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Hi Kristof, yes a Komo-tec ex430 conversion compared to SSC same'ish' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristof Thys Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Neither it is then (but that's all personal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 So changing out the manifolds, down pipe and sport cat also won't be a worth while upgrade vs cost? In terms of added power and sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristof Thys Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Yes it is, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
