Can't believe no one is interested in this. HKS makes some of the meanest time attack cars there are. The quality and fitment of their stuff is without compromise. I'd be all over this if I already had a lotus. Like I said you will not find better quality, and from experience their quoted hp numbers are super conservative.

It's not in the catalog from what I've seen. Is this a new announcement?

If so, I doubt they'll sell many at the typical HKS $6-9,000 turbo kit pricing.

there hasn't been any confirmation on price nor existence yet...

I looked around a few Japanese sites, and it looks like people are getting around 250-255hp out of the kit, with way more torque than what we get out of our SC cars. The only authorized installer in Japan have gotten up to 450HP with that kit with a fully built engine and dog gear transmission.

Common sense says it would cost more than $3400 even if it did exist ......

$4000* since it HAS to be tuned.

255whp with more torque than SC cars would be perfect (at least for me).

Hoping we can track this down … sounds muy interesante.

It says on the HKS site that the kit (tuner kit) is sold exclusively through Garage Shimaya (Outerplus).

They have two versions, one with a HKS SS-GT turbine and another with a HKS-SS 2530. They both use V Pro for tuning.

If this fits like Choi's picture suggests, this will only fit on Exige's, unless you feel like cutting a chunk of your bootlid out.
