Today's Shop pics

The new dyno cell is still under construction. Still have to paint and texturize the walls. Fresh air duct is in full effect. And exhaust fumes dump right outside so no more CO contamination!

As for todays pics:

Navid's championship winning autox car getting tuned up for next week's time attack. It made 307whp on 100oct with just a turbo-back and an XEDE.


The only car missing from today's tuning was a Porsche 996. Other than that, we all our bases covered (EVO, STi, Mazdaspeed Miata and an Elise. All with XEDES and all making good power)


A pretty cool pic of a really pretty car. Picked up alarmingly good power given the fact it is NA and highly strung out in stock form. All of a sudden, it's no longer a dog below it's 6200rpm cam switchover


Cheers,
shiv

Hey Shiv, do you know if the Xede will work with, or even do anything for the new Porsche Cayman S? I have someone who might be very interested...

shiv ok, seriously, go download picasa 2 www.picasa.com. It's a neat little free software program that allows you to resize pictures. Mind you we are not viewing these pictures on God's computer.

See? I did it all for leif

Shiv

ps. And yep, I expect the XEDE to work just fine on the Cayman. Any Porche in fact

pss. In the Elise, the XEDE picked up about 10ft-lbs of torque betweein 2000 and 6200rpm and 7-8ft-lbs between 6200 and 8500rpm. With such a low torque engine, that's like a 5-6% gain in some areas.. lol. It's really amazing how much better it feels. Especially at partial throttle and between the cam switchover. Feels like we shaved 200lbs of weight off the car when just casually driving around

Just a turbo-back without a cat. The car is an 05 so it does have the 10.5 hotside. Next up is cams, gears and the usual stuff, I suppose. BTW, did you see the meats on those wide **** rims?? Yeesh...

Hey Shiv,
I am getting an Exige mid- next year. Is that Elise running a test Xede that one day soon may become a common product that you sell. I would love to get an Xede for my Exige and tune it for more tourque and hp, yet still dependable, albiet N/A guise. I was hoping to be able to get the car to somewhere around 220hp without hugely costly mods. Not sure how doable that would be. But if it could be done i am sure if there was a product that could do it would be the Xede, possibly CAI, cat removal and higher flow exhaust. Also do you think it would be possible for the Xede to control the lo/hi cam duration transition. it would really be nice to lower that transition from 6200 to 5200.

Anyway i just wanted to let you know there is some Elise/Exige interest out there concerning the Xede.

If you are working on a Lotus solution , do tell. I (or I suspect we) would Love to hear about it.

Thanks

Stephen Bienvenu

ps I just noticed there names rythm, They are destined for each other.. Hint.. Hint...

Navids car is a monster. I was lucky enough to get a ride a few months ago. I think he's also got the hayward scott tubular mani and a custom upper intercooler pipe. Mind you all this year he's been runnin on stock boost. The guy can realy drive. Wish him good luck!

Shop looks good by the way!

Let me know if you want to trade some custom carpentry for mods!

Any more details on the Elise tuning packages? Will you offer a reflash or are you just going to be tuning these with the XEDE?

Nice looking shop, by the way. Your lungs thank you.
