Do you have a link please?

it does look a bit of a faff in that its stuck in but I would remove tailgate and then work on the glass once your not leaning over the car in an awkward position.

This one?

That looks like a winner. Any idea on price? Can’t seem to spot it on website. 

[Bravo73 1,339]

You’ll need to contact him directly but the price will depend on whether you want it in fibreglass or carbon fibre. 

Otherwise, you can go via his European agent, @YvoTuk of elise-shop.com.

Rightio thanks ?

[alias23 1,519]

I think the louves are about £400

[DJW 681]

You know it makes sense

[Xisthos 104]

I am seriously considering getting this kit as well now.

Is this kind of power safe for both the engine and the gearbox particularly if you plan on keeping the car for several years to come and regularly tracking it maybe at least 4-5x per year?

I don't have personal experience but the kit has been available for a while and I'd say is well tested solution.

The clutch seems to struggle when you get over 430bhp but most seem to wait for the clutch to go before upgrading to the Evora 400 unit. 

I doubt it will be too long until I make the upgrade

[Sharky 25]

Car looked to be going well on Friday.

[KAS-118 229]

Any news on the Dyno Tests yet?

[Mark030358 601]

Guess not is the answer... still waiting to see if 380 engines are “ fragile” before I upgrade..

Do you think the 380 engine might be fragile? Or have you been told it is because of it's lowered rpm max?

Not sure many SSC TVS1900 kits have been dyno'd. Mine has and I have posted on here.

[JayEmm 1,272]

@550superfast sorry if I am being dense but could you link to that post? A friend is interested in that kit but hard to compare with the KT equivalent without numbers

Halfway down page 4 on the ex460 vs SSC TVS1900 debate thread

 

[tim_marra 478]

So to save all the searching etc, 

Headline figures are 407bhp and 487NM torque. SSC are keen to say that figures are not what the upgrade is all about. They prefer to talk of real world performance

[JG220 273]

That’s usually code for ‘we can’t make the same power as others’. Given that we are all in the real world and have eatablished a mechanism for measuring power (in the real world).

Would love to see a rolling drag race between a stock V6,  tvs1900 and the Komotec 460. 

[550superfast 447]

Already done that at spa and Snetterton 

[BatMobile 524]

What was the outcome @550superfast as tvs1900 is on my radar at the moment 

[550superfast 447]

Pretty close in the real world on track, but I'd say the EX460 cars are usually a bit quicker. @Win911 goes past me on the Kemmel straight, he is running close ratio 5th and 6th as well I think? And says my line in Eau Rouge could be a better.

Snetterton on the Bentley straight Duncan and I had a few runs, it was really very close in a straight line.

After driving both the ex460 really goes from 6000rpm to the redline, whereas the TVS1900 is all done earlier and you are better of changing gear and using the torque.

I've put a few vids up on You Tube of both. Trouble with a rolling road is it is just a number, and not sure it can be relied on unless you had both cars there on the same day, with the same settings and an impartial person running the cars and road, whereas a lap time is actual. After my upgrade to TVS1900 I was 6 secs faster at Spa.

In short, both seem like great upgrades.

Totally agree on the torque and change gear earlier, Exactly like my car, however it does pull past 6000rpm to revlimter much much better than it did pre conversion....

[550superfast 447]

Yes, TVS1900 will run all the way to limiter, and is still pulling hard.

The EX460 just seems to have a fizz after 6000 which makes you want to hang on - or perhaps does not have the low down NM to rely on.

[Mark030358 601]

So will the 380 Sport and Cup models rev past 6800 without destruction, that is a key question....?

Not sure, I asked you earlier what your concern is.

[tim_marra 478]

Well for me the decision is a no brainer. TVS1900 all the way 

Mine is for an Evora, which I hope/expect to be available any day now. Can't wait.
