TT190 Supersport Kit - Autumn 2007 - £4,000 + VAT

Our kit comprises the supercharger, manifold, pistons, rods, charge cooler, piping and belts. It does not include the ECU, injectors, or installation.

Turbo Technics TT190 supercharger system may be fitted to all series I & II Lotus Elise cars with k-series 1.8i engines. Power is increased to 190bhp, whilst torque rises by a massive 40% to 170 lb ft. The TT190 system is an ideal choice for owners who prefer a more relaxed driving style but producing rapid acceleration from just 3000 rpm, without needing to use high revs. Retaining the standard catalytic converter and without the need for a performance silencer, the car remains very quiet, discreet and MOT compliant. The engine requires no specialist servicing and kit parts are covered with a Turbo Technics 12 months/ 12,000 mile guarantee. No loss of luggage space. Power to weight ratio: 238bhp per tonne.

A total engine package

In keeping with the integrated nature of the supercharger package, a reduction of engine compression ratio is achieved by fitting a new set of Turbo Technics pistons and connecting rods. Special care is taken with the the rebuild of the engine to ensure a strong and reliable engine. A Low-blow boost pressure of just 0.55 bar is produced using Turbo Technics Geotec supercharger. A very efficient charge-cooler, coupled to an additional front mounted radiator prevents increased engine bay temperature, whilst an oil cooler ensures efficient engine cooling.

** The standard fuel and ignition brain can be replaced with a more sophisticated digitally mapped ECU to ensure maximum power and engine reliability, whilst retaining the Lotus anti-theft system. We do not supply this unit, or injectors.
