K20A Swap with Air Cond - Possible?
Hi Guys I'm new to this forum and hope some experts can help
 I'm planing to get a S1 Lotus with the Rover Engine in it and got so impressed by the Honda K20A performance. However the climate here in Australia will stop me from getting a performance car without an air-cond... There are some off the shelf kit for such a swap but most of them will not keep the air cond system. Is there an air-cond enabled K20A kit in the market? Thanks a million  |

Welcome to LT
 No is the answer to your question though  I went into this at great length and firstly aircon equipped S1s are rare as hens teeth and I only know of 1 in Australia (they were all assembled in Malaysia for the Asian market). If you want aircon you are looking at an S1 Exige (of which there were 7 sold in Australia - so slim pickings there to) or an S2. And no it is not possible to retrofit aircon to a non-AC Elise - and I did A LOT of research into this. So I drive an S2 in Perth  Cheers! |

Lucky I asked before I committed to my friend's S1 though...  So did you do the swap yourself? or engage the Kirrapak in Sydney? I was planning to do it myself but just worry dont have the time for it... |
