SUPERCHARGED LOTUS ELISE
 
TT215 Supersport
Kit - Autumn 2007 - £4,000 + VAT
Our kit comprises the
supercharger, pistons,
rods, charge cooler, piping and belts.
It does not include the ECU, injectors,
exhaust or installation.
* If you are running
on a standard fuel system, a set of four high-flow injectors can be supplied
for an extra £280 + VAT.
The standard ECU is not suitable for this conversion. If you require a
performance ECU, the original conversions used an Emerald system. Please

the Emerald website.
Turbo Technics TT215 supercharger system may
be fitted to all 111 and 111S Lotus Elise cars with k-series VVC engines.
Power is increased to 215bhp at 6500 rpm and torque rises to an impressive
185 lb ft. As the most powerful "Lotus production " Elise available, the
VVC (variable valve camshaft) engine, together with Turbo Technics
supercharger system produces a very fast car indeed with a 0-60mph time of
just 4.5 seconds. Retaining the engine's VVC system enables power to be
achieved at higher revs without removing the standard rev limiter.
Torque also improves significantly and overcomes this engines natural
mid-range torque deficiency. A stainless steel performance silencer is fitted as
parts of the conversion to aid high speed performance, whilst retaining the
standard catalytic converter to meet current MOT emissions. The engine
requires no specialist servicing and kit parts are covered with Turbo Technics 12 months/ 12,000
mile guarantee. No loss of luggage space. Power to weight ratio: 272bhp 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 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" is replaced with a sophisticated digitally
mapped ECU to ensure maximum power and engine reliability, whilst retaining
the Lotus anti theft system.
