190bhp is the highest at the moment, which Kelk and I have. Power to weight is 220bhp/ton, same as a 911 (996), M5 (E39). The power from the Toyota unit is great when on song, but it could use some more punch at lower revs, despite being very responsive already.
There is supposedly an OEM supercharger in the works too, which should be interesting.
The Exige S already has one, kicking out 220bhp. It weighs about 80kg more, but what it loses in weight it apparently gains a lot more with low down grunt.

Toyota is the same as the S engine
fine if you don't mind hammering it
less so, if you do
and it does increase the risk of being caught in the wrong gear from time to time
what is the torque figure for the Toyota engine out of interest?
I wonder if it's any more than the 'weak' S2000 engine

You got a pic of the pic? Jo mentioned it had arrived.
Thanks for the photo and photo-shopping, the guys you recommended for the print took their time (they had to photo shop out some guys reflection in the passenger window) but they got it here and the quality is top. I was expecting some pixelation or something to not be quite right but I was happily proven wrong.
Clean your alloys mate.
Man, that 340R looks good.
