SUPERCHARGED LOTUS ELISE
Easy to live
with, yet impossible to live without. One drive and youll be addicted!
Autumn 2007 - supercharger kit now
available - £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.
* 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
click here to visit
the Emerald website.
Turn in, clip the apex and squeeze the
throttle - dial in opposite lock and revel in a gloriously progressive power slide.
Yes, the Turbo Technics supercharged Elise is staggeringly quick, but power
is nothing without control. A new advanced design of supercharger
mated to the K-series engine delivers up to an amazing 215bhp, giving the
Elise the potential is deserves. The smooth yet instant power delivery
complements the Elise, inviting the driver to work that superb Lotus chassis
and explore the limits of adhesion - in total control.
The Supercharged Elise,
launched in 1999, was the result of over two years engineering research and
development by Turbo Technics. This is not a "bolt-on kit" but a thoroughly
integrated engine conversion, which will delight any Elise owner and
demonstrate how to make an impressive car even better.
The design brief
Achieve a maximum power to weight ratio of 230bhp/tonne, but avoid the
drawbacks of traditional tuning methods.
Ensure quick throttle
response to give maximum driver enjoyment and safety.
Minimise additional
weight by employing the latest materials and in-house designed aluminium
castings.
Ensure service
accessibility and durability over high mileage, but avoid specialist
maintenance requirements
The solution
Rejecting the simple bolt-on approach often seen in modified engines,
Turbo Technics
use a
new design of centrifugal supercharger for the supercharged Elise. Although
it is belt driven, the unit avoids the heavy power losses associated with
traditional superchargers. In the spirit of the Elise concept, the Turbo
Technics manufactured Geotec supercharger is lightweight and compact. As
such, it is mounted within the existing engine bay without compromising
luggage space.
