Given this is the FI section I thought most BWR owners & installers would frequent this area more than the for sale/wtb section.

I am desperately seeking the parts removed from my Elise during the previous owner's BWR installation such as the alternator relocation eg the 10cm bush, idler pulley and other bits.

Anyone have these lying around their garage??

Many Thanks

I just lost my katana-assisted Elise and I am thinking about another Elise with the FF 275 kit. Does anyone have experience comparing the two, particularly on the track? Thank you again for sharing any thoughts you may have, JMF Thanks for any help with this.

I've noticed that forced induction engines seem to be able to get away with higher effective compression ratios (i.e. CR x Boosted_Pressure / Atmospheric_Pressure) than naturally aspirated engines before encountering detonation. For example, a setup that has a CR of 9:1 running 1 bar of boost yields an effective CR of 18:1. Yet I've never heard of a NA gasoline engine running a CR of 18:1, no matter how retarded the spark timing or how rich the fuel mixture. Why is that? ]]> Forced Induction BrendanC http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f160/fi-effective-cr-detonation-80719/ http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f160/official-lotus-supercharger-question-80706/ Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:16:49 GMT If I wanted to make my Lotus Elise on par with an Lotus Elise SC, would this be the way to do it?

I was browsing here the other day and saw someone running a k24 tsx sc. Now i want to know from people that have done it what did you prefer the k20 or k24 and why? I have a integra type r right now and at first had a jdm k20a in it till it spun a rod then put in a 06 tsx k24a2. The torque is amazing but i miss being able to rev to 9k +. So would the midrange torque be too much for the light lotus chassis or would it be better to have a wider rpm band? I will also be supercharging which ever motor i decide to go with so please let me know your thoughts thanks. I am looking to pick up an elise or exige if im lucky to do a k swap in.

I know that I can get 500+whp with the GT3076 but spool up will be slower. I am used to the quick spool up of my GT2871R. At the same time, I am not sure if the GT3071 is going to be capable of making the power I am looking for. I have been checking around and it seems like the GT3071 is only worth about another 50hp over my current GT2871R. Closer to 400whp but it would spool faster than the GT3076. (input would be appreciated)

I was talking to a guy at Forced Performance turbochargers and he recommended that I check into an aftermarket cam. According to him, they use different cams on a lot of their turbo cars (Subaru and EVO's) and can make an extra 40-50hp or so just by changing the cam profile.

Is there someone that makes an aftermarket cam for our vehicles that works well with forced induction. If so, I might be better going with the smaller GT3071 and a performance cam to meet my goals. I am shooting for another 100-125whp over my current set up, so I am looking for 450-475whp. I just don't want to have too much lag. Yes, I guess I would like my cake and eat it too. ]]> Forced Induction dereklburt http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f160/performance-camshaft-forced-induction-also-questioning-turbo-size-80640/ http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f160/vision-function-stage-2-p0172-too-rich-80611/ Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:29:32 GMT I cant seem to get this little bugger to go away.
