2005 Lotus Elise Turbo FF275 w/EFI Arctic Silver (SoCal) - LotusTalk

theveganporkchop · 10-16-2009, 04:59 PM

I'm thinking of selling my ff275 turbo Elise to help fund buying a home. I bought the car this Spring from a friend. It currently has 10k miles on it. Since I've had it I had the unichip replaced with an EFI standalone by DRS. DRS also added an AEM wideband A/F and an SPA oil pressure gauge. Kris has tuned the car for me with a 91 and 100 octane map. The FF275 was originally installed by Webb Motorsports. Car runs great. It's currently running at a conservative 8.5psi. I believe it put down 220whp when we last tuned it. I replaced the factory speakers with some JL C2-525x. SCC installed some Exige sides scoops using the Really Light Stuff NCI kit so there was no holes drilled into the body if the scoops aren't your thing. Rims were powdercoated black. It has a Sector111 harness bar w/ Scroth harness. Car is located in Downtown Los Angeles if you want to come check it out. Title in hand for a quick and clean sale.

$35,000 obo. Let me know if you have any questions.

Wow, that really is conservatively tuned... mine is at almost 260WHP on 91 crap-gas with the EFI ECU and the latest software release.

Yeah, it really should be running at 10psi. I've been planning to upgrade to the GT28rs and I was going to bring up the boost then. It was almost 100 degrees outside the day we tuned it, so we really only got one decent run in before the heat got to be a real problem.

I should also note that I had the car smogged in August before I switched to the EFI. It passed smog which I believe clears it for the next 5 years. I'll include the Unichip in case you need to have it re smogged. You could also just bypass the EFI all together and put stock injectors back in and it would be passable.

His car is running the standard GT28, not the RS, and is only running 8 psi and conservatively tuned. There is obviously lots of power potential still. If it ends up getting a new owner there are easy things that can be done to improve the power, such as raising the boost to 10 psi, etc...
