			<description><![CDATA[Hi Guys, I REALLY hope no one takes this as SPAM, and I apologize if I cross any lines, but I own an Elise as my daily driver which is why I joined the forum, I love the car, I have some issues I am still working out, but it's one of my favorite cars!  

Anyway, I am also a partner with a company that sells Lamborghini parts. My company just bought out the largest Lamborghini dealership's inventory in the world.  Unfortunately, as part of the deal we had to buy almost $70K in Lotus parts..  I may pick through it just to see if there is anything I should save for my car, but I don't deal in Lotus parts and I don't want to... Is anyone here affiliated with a company that may be interested in this inventory?  If so please just send an email to  sales (at) Lambostuff.com

Thanks

Gold isn't every one's favorite color but for track wheels, who cares?  Or if you have starlight black and want to go for that JPS look!

$549 for a SET of brand new wheels!

I'll even through in 2 hockey pucks, and stainless steel lotus book mark.

*STAGE 2 FOR EVERYBODY!* :clap:
Limited Time Promotion

Vision Function would like to Introduce our Elise/Exige Intercooled Supercharger Kit FREE UPGRADE SALE.  After a great year of releases and new developments. We would like to offer a free Stage 2 upgrade to the first 10 people who purchase the Stage 1 full kit or a BWR or Katana Conversion Kit. The upgrade will get you an additional 20 whp of fun over our Stage 1 kit. 

* 120 hp and 67 ft. lbs over a stock naturally aspirated Elise/Exige.*

*The Complete kit includes:*
&#8226; MP62 Supercharger
&#8226; Bar and Plate Air-to-Air Intercooler
&#8226; Custom designed Intake Manifold
&#8226; CharlieX Reflashed ECU
&#8226; 550cc Injectors
&#8226; Walbro 255 LPH Pump

*MP62*
Image: http://www.visionfunction.com/vfimage/sc-mp62-410.jpg 

We use the venerable MP62 supercharger. Same unit as GM uses for it's factory Forced Induction Ecotec engines. This model supercharger provides us with exceptional performance in reasonable packaging. Our Stage 2 Kit uses a 30 inch pulley that allows us to make 9.8 psi in the intake manifold. This is more than enough boost pressure to give you an additional 120 horsepower on tap. In order to make the supercharger as efficient as possible we designed a cast supercharger inlet and outlet with SolidWorks and a fluid flow simulation program called CosmosFlowWorks. The outcome was staggering numbers which really show up on the dyno numbers and the road performance of the Supercharger kit.

*Intercooler*

Image: http://www.visionfunction.com/vfimage/sc-intercooler-200.jpg 

The dyno plot tells you all you need to know about performance: 
What it doesn&#8216;t tell you is how we do it and how we make this power while maintaining reliability. The secret: Cooler intake temperatures. Cooler intake temperatures mean a denser intake charge and a denser intake charge means a larger mass of air in the combustion chamber at any given boost level. More air means more horsepower (with the proper control of fuel and ignition timing, of course). Cooler intake temps have the added benefit of reducing the risk of engine damaging detonation.
*
Injectors*

Image: http://www.visionfunction.com/vfimage/RCEng550s-133.jpg 

The injectors of choice are RC Engineering 550cc Injectors. At our 10 psi we are have complete control of AFR all the way up until our 8500 rpm rev limit. These injectors work well with our kit allowing you to have a very smooth idle quality and superb fuel control throughout the power band. 

*Charlie X Custom ECU Reflash   *

Upon conception of our Supercharger Kit, we sought the best Engine Management Solution and now we have a great working relationship with CharlieX. Together we have spent countless hours of dialing in the Fuel Map, Ignition Map, Variable Cam Timing Map, etc. After long days and some nights of tuning the car really seemed happiest at about 13.0 afr on the small cam, then at peak torque on the large cam 12.5 afr at peak torque and 11.9 afr at Peak Power. While running it slightly richer than usual we did lose some horsepower but what we gained was reliable as a richer AFR gives you better in cylinder cooling. Simply said less heat less stress! We use our in house Dynapack Dynometer, in the load based tuning mode. This is great R&D tool to dial the car in properly with its steady state rpm tuning and load ability. Some of the great names in the automotive industry use this dyno like Nascar, TRD, MINE'S those are just a few to start.
