Nope - we aren't releasing pictures until the first batch ships. No reason to give our competition a head start at knocking us off.

Will there be any tests on a Lotus? Will there be a Charliex tune as well? This is perfect timing as my bonus arrives soon....

Yes, we need to find a Lotus locally with an owner willing to let us try it on their car, or barring that, rent one for a couple of days so we can do the testing. We will be putting one on Petes car, but the gains we expect to show on that will be far above typical.

Vampyre · 02-08-2009, 09:33 AM

Very nice work, I look forward to seeing some Lotus driver reviews.

Cool. Wish I was local.

Update / Teaser:

Plenums are going through the CNC machine today. I just approved the proof for the logo. (sorry - no complete plenum pics - all you get is the logo)

Boosted2.0 · 02-24-2009, 11:08 AM

We've been unable to find anyone local for testing on a stock Lotus, so we will likely be renting a car to do the verification.

Subscribed. Obviously you guys have something great coming together. When there is a package/combination of ECU/intake/TB/manifold/injectors that shows good signs of reliability, I'm definetely in. (If some of those parts are stock-great, if not-that's cool too.) Looking forward to it!!

glb · 03-26-2009, 10:04 AM

Any progress on this? I'm interested.

Michael_In_Hoboken · 03-26-2009, 10:27 AM

Ughhhhhh...and I just convinced myself that going for an SC was a good idea.

Now I have to rethink everything

ozracer · 03-26-2009, 04:35 PM

If this is to be believed the results are incredible well done guys....

Michael, as usual there are positives and negatives to both.

This will not produce the torque of FI, and torque is, besides being what you feel most, important, especially for street cars. There is no substitute, on our cars, for FI's tq.

On the other hand, this will be: less expensive, probably more reliable with no moving parts, a much quicker install and less likely to reduce mpg a lot.

So, it depends on where you want the power and how you intend to use your car.

We have to take another trip to the dyno with a built motor with headwork before we finalize the Lotus Manifold. The Celica one doesn't quite fit at the street version runner length, but it will fit with a slightly shorter runner length.

PJK · 04-19-2009, 03:30 PM

Any updates yet? Have you done any testing on a lotus?

Not yet - The built motor we are using to test the shorter runner lengths should be bolted in the test mule and fired up tonight. If we can get it broken in we will test this weekend. If not then next weekend.
