first test dyno, Frank's Elige (built motor) - LotusTalk

This roughly translates to around 330 or so crank (!) - can't wait to see what happens when they get the ecu dialed in.

holy schnikes

Forget HP! You're at 85% of max torque at 2900 rpm. If you can keep the tires hooked up, you're going to fly!

Holy Shmokin' Tires, Batman!

Interesting graphs - can you tell us more about the engine?

I thought it was making that much power with the stock block.

Think of it this way instead... The new engine is just starting at this point where as the stock block was already at it's hairy edge.

With the built block it will produce more power at the same PSI without even trying hard and will have much better reliability.

Shiftlock · 03-10-2007, 06:19 PM

Very impressive!

I can't wait to see the numbers after tuning and increasing the boost.

You're very excited about that, aren't you?

II-soon · 03-10-2007, 07:18 PM

LOL he's not the only one excited.

It looks very good, but the torque is still way off from my Forcedfed Race 340 with the EFI stand-alone. I am at 220 wtorque on 91 octane and 260 wtorque on 101 octane. The FF Race 380 is making 300 w torque and can do even more.

If you want a real punch in the back and a strong torque wave, then you will need to hit mid 200 values for torque in the lower parts of the power band.

Come drive my torque monster, it no longer matters if a 225 lb guy is sitting in the passenger side, it still hauls @$$.

Thats why Frank is installing both. Can you say Lancia?

both what?

Donovan · 03-11-2007, 10:54 PM

turbo and super charged I believe.

he should install a jet motor like jay lenos bike

Really? We'll get to see a twin-charged Elise?

man.. he's crazier then I thought.

SweetDaddyD · 03-21-2007, 07:26 AM

bump for the banished. Wow.

That's just freakin' nuts. You gotta have mad skillz to control that much HP in a car this light. Gotta be wicked fun, though.
