High revving Lotus Exige with modified Honda K24 ITB dry sump wide body @ Kyalami
This Lotus took as 2 years to develop to date and we took itout for the first time. We worked until 03:00 in the morning to get it ready but some issues remained.
Sounds typical for a major conversion like that. Have you dyno'd it yet? My
target is around 270whp - 87.5 12.5:1 pistons, billet rods, balanced
rotating assy, K20 oil pump (w CNC), Full Ported Head, Stage 2 cams,
upgraded valvetrain, Skunk2 manifold w 74mm TB, 550cc inj, custom header
(over the top), plus the K-Pro. I have an incredible local tuner with tons
of K-Pro experience, so I hope I'll get close. Heading up to the first HPDE
today (Minnesota). Are you in the UK?
@mcneillmedia I am in South Africa and we are 6,500 ft above sea level. We
lose 18% power here. The current engine (relatively standard) makes 200 hp
atw. I have another K26 engine with Go-Power custom cam and many other
after market spares & 12.8:1 CR which I hope to make 270 hp atw at this
altitude with the ITB's. I am just waiting for pistons as a tuner seized
the first set on the dyno
@mcneillmedia We are still working at it as well, and experienced a lot of
hassles. this is mainly due to the total conversion of everything (brakes,
suspension, wheel hubs, wiring, body work (it is now wide body), etc. the
main hassles were really regarding Hondata which we could not get going and
we finally through it out and replaced it with a local system = Gotech).
Good luck!
Nice car, i have done the same, Elise s1 exige body k24 engine type r
gearbox, jdm intake (wanted itb but didnt to it) and kpro, its going pretty
good, but mine is more loud, do you have any pictures of your car that i
can see, i got lots of pics if you want mine is roadleagal now
@tomislavkozul I will be placing several photos during the next week or so
on another forum which will be opened to other members. The thread will be
about the total build from start to now.
@Rj Walls just to make sure - are you referring to a 2ZZ engine in the
Lotus or to my 2ZZ engined MR2 which I just sold? The Lotus came with a
Rover motor as it is a S1.
