BRG is very proud to offer these fantastic power packages for your Lotus Evora 'S' and Exige 'S' V6.  

The factory car offers 350 hp which is fine but many owners look for more power to elevate the Evora's and Exige's performance to match the car's supercar looks.  These refined, complete ugrade packages were developed in Germany by Lotus Factory trained engineers, and have seen extensive testing to ensure reliability as well as outstanding performance. 

4 levels of kits are available and each are upgradable to the next level up meaining you can start with the low end and move up in stages to the most aggressive option.

A reflash of the ECU is required.  If the install is completed by our Northern NJ service affiliate, C Squared Automotive, there is no additional charge.  If you are having the install done by another center or if youare doing it yourself, you must also purchase the flash cable.  The cable will allow flash back to your original OEM tune. 

The crankshaft pulley will need to be forwarded in advance to us as a core or an additional deposit of $450 provided until it is sent post-install. 

These upgrades ARE available for IPS and manual transmission equipped vehicles unlike the competition.  There is also the option of ordering your own tuning cable so no need to send us your ECU!

 

Stage I-  390 HP

Stage I is the entry level option for the V6 Lotus owner. The Evora S is originally equipped with 350 hp (information provided by the manufacturer). To provide the car with more appropriate dynamics we have developed the Stage I Upgrade with 390 hp. By fitting a specially engineered 3:1 stainless steel exhaust manifold, a performance air filter and modifying the engine's electronics, we have been able to increase the max power by 37 hp to 387. 

A notable increase in performance is already noticeable at 3000 rpm. The largest increase in power can be experienced between 5000 and 7200 rpm. Additionally, the engine's torque increases by 30 Nm.

Our Stage I-Kit consists of:

-Stainless steel exhaust manifold with optimised pipe lengths
-K&N Sports air filter
-optimised engine management (combustion and injection)
-Sports catalyzer (main catalyzer)
-misc. fasteners

 

Stage II- 410 HP

Based on the Stage I upgrade, The Stage II further enhances your V6 Lotus, pushing output to over 400 HP! In addition to the components used in the Stage I kit, a modified charger ratio is incorporated to push performance even higher. With a smaller, but perfectly adequate increase in boost, pressure of 0.04 bar is achieved. In connection with a additional enhancements to the control unit, Stage II achieves a significant improvement in the torque performance which transaltes into even more aggressive acceleration. The Stage II kit boasts spectacular power delivery which is apparent from 3000 rpm when 90% of the maximum torque is achieved. Compared with the Stage I,  the increase the maximum power of approx. 15 hp to approx. 407HP. Torque a further increased to 449NM. Our Stage II kit consists of:

-Stainless steel exhaust manifold with optimised pipe lengths

-K&N Sports air filter

-modified pulley

-optimised engine management (combustion and injection)

-Software adds

-Sports catalyzer (main catalyzer)

-misc. fasteners

 

Stage III- 430 HP

The  V6 Lotus upgrades from BRG. In addition to the components used in The Stage II kit, a modified Carbon Airbox system with cold air feed and a matching Stage III software further enhance the performance of your Evora to supercar levels of performance. The bigger diameter of the new carbon airbox together with the high flow airfilter allow for better air flow and expanded performance capability. Stage III provides an increase of approx 18hp and 12Nm torque over the Stage II kit.  Stage III includes:

-Stainless steel exhaust manifold with optimised pipe lengths

-Komo-Tec Carbon Air Box with K&N Sports air filter

-modified pulley

-optimised engine management (combustion and injection)

-Sports catalyzer (main catalyzer)

-misc. fasteners

NOTE:  Your pulley will need to be modified.  You can choose to order a new one and have that modified to minimize downtime or have your existing one sent to the manufacturer for modification.  

 

Stage IV- 460 HP

Now Available after extensive testing is the new Stage IV kit.  This upgrade on the Stage III is possibly the most exciting development yet for the Exige V6 and Evora S.  The Stage IV kit features the first watercooled intercooler for the Evora S/ Exige V6.   It represents the logical evolution of the Stage III 430 kit.  

The system was developed over 14 months with extensive engineering and testing creating an extremely powerful and reliable solution for your vehicle. The main difference between the Stage IV and Stage III systems is the water-cooled intercooler. The effect of cooling of the charge air is that higher performance can be achieved without compromising the durability of the engine. Lotus used this same solution for the Esprit back in 1989 with the introduction of the SE model which also used a chargecooler.  The objective in our Stage IV development was a high-efficiency charge-air cooling, minimum charge pressure losses, and low component weight in conjunction with a smaller cross section. We were able to meet all requirements and exceed even our own expectations in the final product. To integrate an efficient intercooler core into the existing charger system, it was necessary to replace the original intake manifold with a completely new unit developed bespoke for this application. The new intake manifold is made of milled aluminum from a solid and incorporates the intercooler, injectors and the supercharger. With the new chargecooling in place,  it is now possible for us to optimize the boost pressure and the ignition timing to thus achieve an output of 460 PS, particularly noteworthy is a maximum torque of 368 ft/lb (500Nm) with an almost flat power curve from 3500RPM. By using the optimized standard supercharger, we achieved a significant improvement in power and torque in the mid rev range, because there the supercharger is now working in the most efficient range. The thermal load on the engine-specific components decreases due to the lower charge air temperature.  The compressor is the standard component but revised internally by the manufacturer in Europe (please note this in planning your installation). In front of the vehicle, a heat exchanger cooler with its own water circuit is integrated to the water in the intercooler core (in the intake manifold) to cool down the water.An electrical water pump accepts the water circulation. 

Facts: 
- reduction of the intake air (cooled /uncooled) of approximately 35 ° C
- boost pressure lost by radiator core 0,03bar at 0,6bar boost pressure 
- uses the standard installation space, barely visible from the outside 
- minimum wheight increase of 10.1 lb (4,6kg) incl. heat exchanger (without water) 


Stage IV phase consists of: 

- Stainless Steel exhaust manifold with optimized pipe lengths 
- KT Carbon air box system with K & N sport air filter 
- modified pulley 
- Sports catalyser HJS for Stage IV Kit (maincat) 
- full aluminum intake manifold with integrated intercooler core and injectors, black anodized. 
- water hose kit
- aluminium water tank for intercooler 
- Electric water pump 
- Heat Exchanger cooler in front of the vehicle 
- modification of the standard supercharger (unit must be removed and sent to system manufacturer for modification)
- ECU remap to Stage IV file (modified ignition/injection timing and cam timing)
- ECU Programming cable

 

NOTE:  Your pulley and supercharger nose will need to be modified.  You can choose to order a new pulley and have that modified to minimize downtime or have your existing one sent to the manufacturer for modification. The supercharger must be sent to Komo-Tec for modfication.

sorry im just brain storming aloud. as the evora get olders and people start to put on those miles and tuning starts to hit the upper limits, plus the market starts to see cat d & c ,  im hoping one will be reach in 2 years. I can dream for now :0)

 

[fiveoclock]

If you have an Evora with 400bhp+ budget for a gearbox rebuild aswell

[Nev]

LOL, usual disclaimer to let them wriggle out when your car Evora explodes into a ball of fire after they've worked on it.

[fiveoclock]

[color=#000000;]These upgrades ARE available for IPS and manual transmission equipped vehicles unlike the competition[/color]

 

Thats because at least some of the competition recognize that the manual transmission cant handle the power whereas the IPS can. It seems this company doesnt care.

[C8RKH]

I thought it was actually the other way around, it is the IPS that is a little more fragile and it's torque related.  Komotec reliably can take the V6S Exige or Evora to 460bhp with little issues being reported by many owners of these modified cars.  Have a look on TheLotusForums, plenty of info on their re outputs etc.

 

The new GT430 gives, yup, you guessed it, 430ps and is now available in manual or IPS (the factory did not release the Evora 410 in IPS s they must have added a new gearbox cooler and other bits).

 

You're right though Turbo2015, the Lotus Evora is a real fat lardy arsed bastard of a car. I mean, it is only 140kg lighter than a 911. 400kg lighter than a Nissan GTR.  200kg lighter than an R8.  200kg lighter than an M4.........  Yeah, right fat lardy arsed bastard of a car eh.....

[fiveoclock]

The manual gearboxes have their vices at standard power let alone anything higher.

[fiveoclock]

The GT430 wont be anywhere near 430, the sticker will be though  

[rob999]

Agree with Mark, if the V6 can't even make 350 then I don't think I'll believe Komotec on their numbers 🤔

[C8RKH]

Again, I have an Evora and my gearbox is a sweet little thing to work and no issues whatsoever.  The KT upgrades are well documented in the UK and the continent with many dyno runs and graphs (not on KT's dyno but others) to prove the power.

 

Are these comments just general as you don't like the Evora, or, based on real fact through ownership of an Evora etc?  As for the gearbox, there was an issue with some early cars with the CR gears (soft internals) but apart from that there are very very few failures.  Clutches are always rolled out a a "weak" point until you actually ask around the forums for real owners to come forwards and then you realise most owners have not had an issue.

 

Some early, pre 2012 cars had issues with gear cables causing a lowsy manual shift, but again, almost all of them have now been fixed either through adjustment or fitment of the revised MY12 linkages.

 

Would love to see the reasons re the negativity. My Evora has been 100% reliable and a joy for the 2.5 years I've owned her.  My VX220 is also a joy too but maybe that is because the last owner (VX220 Bob) did such a good job of looking after her
