Is it possible to get some more power out of factory SC?
Have any of you guys tried tuning a factory supercharged Elise? Would it be possible to install a smaller pulley, for example? It looks like the Katana and BWR non-intercooled SC's are making a bit more power than the factory setup, so I guess it's possible in theory, but maybe the supercharger is just too small.
I'm trying to decide whether to buy a factory SC car or a used one which I'd modify myself. Thanks. |

I haven't seen any threads about modifying the factory Elise SC. There's a kabillion about the larger SC.
This is a legitimate question.

If I understand correctly the Gotham tune just opens up the throttle on the Exige S which only opens around 60%. That's why he can net such strong gains with only an ECU tune. ** I'm not sure if the Elise SC has the same problem, and if it does, it's probably minimal compared to the Exiges with larger blowers. ** I may be incorrect here
