I think 250 is doable. 230 is cake with the hard parts out there now. With a lightened crank and internal thermal coatings I think 250whp is doable.

The main unknown component at this point is the engine management. I think I have a handle on that one. Let's say I am 95% confident I can make the PFC work in the elise. I say that because I have been able to mesh a 2zz celica pfc into an '03 spyder 1zz/smt car. The car has a 2zz swap. To make it go I had to keep the 1zz ecu to run the throttle body and the smt computer to run the gearbox and run the engine with the 2zz PFC.

Basiclly the 1zz ecu still works the can bus, gauges, a/c, emissions, dbw t/b, SMT computer interface, and everything else it is supposed to with the exception of the engine. The same thing I need to do with the elise. The car is driving around with a few smt quirks that we will attempt to tackle but zero issues with the engine side of the equation. FWIW I think rexroth has an interface for the smt computer but that is another chapter.

The main motivation for me undertaking that project is to determine if I could or could not mesh the pfc with another ecu and make it go.

The rest of the power is out there IMHO. I may not hit 250 whp for 15k but I can get extremely close....

We will have to increase the displacment with a stroker and an over bore. Count on, port work throttle body over bore, custom header and exhaust, cams, electric water pump, alternator pulley, flywheel, clutch, lightened crank, internal thermal coatings, valves and springs, and 12:1 compression.

You may be obdII compliant but it really depends on the cams and the stock ecu's ability to adapt. That may be in your favor from what i understand about the elsie ecu. The beauty of the pfc is I can make it plug and play. So the stock ecu may very well run the engine without an immediate cel....
