Yes Ecu is out, waiting for them to finalize the airbox bracket, 345 and 350 have slightly different bracket, as the airbox was developed on the 350 they are finishing the 345 bracket right now. So in the next 10 days hopefully I should be able to refit the Ecu with the airbox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chumaxa 96 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) No I am doing it as Dan is too busy to take care of the car before end of march, can't wait so getting the hands dirty. Edited February 22, 2018 by chumaxa Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does not even drop before limiter, impressive. An other example that you do not need more hardware change to get there ? Those numbers aren’t that surprised with a new, high flow (presumably ITG based) intake. The OEM intake is probably the single largest restrictor in the OEM system. (For the Evora, the intake was originally off a RAV4!) Contrary to popular belief, the OEM headers (with integral cats) aren’t actually that restrictive. The 430 cars (both Evora and Exige) still use the same Toyota parts as the original cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Francescopol 3 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I think the best price horses ratio ... there is a crisis I have to spend my euro well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alias23 1,515 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I'll cover this more on my build thread but for completeness here is my dyno from today at Litchfield Motors, wheels spinning at front (same speed as rear), standard engine and air box.

Mark030358 594 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Imran, Nice curve and power from a standard engine Anyway, while I'm here, here is mine. Interesting to note that most 380 dyno curves I saw at KT showed the torque dip between 2750 and 4000 rpm. In fact there was a blue 380 being run up that showed the dip also. KT improved it from memory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cuprapw 15 Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I dynoed my 350s IPS, just with alias’s intake, the rest 100% stock 355cv at 6500rpm 440Nm at 5000rpm really happy with the result taking in account that based on the results I’ve seen in this forum the stock car usually has 325-330 cv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steveoexige 65 Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 interesting reading and some good numbers from owners. Quick question: can someone confirm if Vone Racing tune the OEM ECU ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxi_z 106 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Something really useful would be if someone who fitted a KT 460 kit and had the dyno made at their shop would then make a comparaison run on another dyno... They seem to all have near 460 at their shop dyno... I m not saying that the KT power kits do not make the expected difference... when fitting the 430 kit my car was running fast and it made 40 bhp more on the dyno... But I m really questioning Lotus oem power output especially on the 380 versions... My 380 cup was around 345 bhp on the dyno and 385 bhp with the KT 430 kit on the same dyno... After that I fitted the KT 460 kit but did not had it on an independent dyno but for sure it was not feeling 75 bhp more... I would expect at best another 30 bhp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nightfire 24 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 1. 380 CUP without modifications, engine warm. 2. 380 CUP without modifications, engine hot. 3. 430 CUP without modifications, engine hot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark030358 594 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 From @Nightfire post above see the torque curve dip on the 380, very strange but as KT told me is on all 380's they have seen. Also that 430 Cup torque curve shows around 420 Nm @ 2100 rpm, is the 430 dyno run from KT? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nightfire 24 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 The 430 Cup was measured by Bemani. https://www.bemani.ch/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Martrack 15 Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Any Sport 410 dyno please, to compare to the Cup 430 ones ? (above, and here also) Thank you ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fjc27 15 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Hi here is my dyno test for my sport 380 from early 2017. As I knew the 380 always had power problems, I wanted to see how much was missing. In fact there was a problem when they tested it : the rev limiter was cutting at 6500 rev/min instead of 6800 there was also the big dip at 3000 rev/min. So I asked them to contact Lotus for solving these problems, and they finally obtained a revised map for the ECU. It appeared to be quite better, but the curve is far from perfect. I don't know if the test was properly conducted (it does not look to even reach 6700/6800 rev/min), but I suppose the map is still criticisable. My exhaust is black. Maybe I should do another dyno test, now the car has 11 000 km... But I doubt Lotus does have another revised map to provide. Anyway I'm having fun with it, but it's a shame Lotus don't give attention to these problems and don't fine tune all cars... Edited December 30, 2019 by fjc27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Komo ten can fix this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cuprapw 15 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 It is ridiculous that 350s and 380s owners dyno their cars with the hope of losing the least amount of the cv advertised, in the garage I dynoed my car they told me they haven't seen a single Exige with the promised 345 cv (mine has Alias 23 intake), it is a 4WD dyno and they know what they do if I buy a car with 345 cv I want 345 cv not 325 cv and if I buy a car with 375 cv I want 375 cv not 355 cv Not good at all Lotus.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
