you guys have to understand that both Dave and David have regular jobs and family. they do the work in their garage, personally I don't mind them taking that long as long as they do it right the first time.
plus they also doing R&D and testing them on their own.

Hondata has had a kit for 3 years, but I have yet to meet or read about someone, a customer, that has done it successfully...

Hondata does not make nor sell an engine swap kit for the Lotus. I purchased and installed the engine swap kit myself. The only involvement of Hondata is providing the ECU and the ECU to dash interface.

Right from the source itself. I never said Hondata has a kit, I just said that dstevens has made it happen...

Still waiting to see if this will ever be done. If sleepless is married, he must have an awesome marriage because of how much patience and understanding that he has....

Speaking of Thunderhill, I got my Turbo back and have been enjoying it at my favorite track:

It putting out around 570HP at the crank

Life IS good.
