Dazzx10r Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 As some of you may or may not know I am going to be doing this conversion on my car this winter. I will be carrying out most of the conversion by myself, making up the engine mounts and exhaust system and plumbing in the cooling system, the wiring up will be done by a third party. Today I have been to talk to JBS Autodesigns about the wiring, they do this sort of thing day in day out, interestingly they have told me that they can do it and make it work off the std VW ecu! this should save a few hundred £'s. I also have a contact for someone who can make me a pair of driveshafts. Whilst I was at JBS they told me about thier S2 Elise that they have for sale, check this out! http://www.jbsautodesigns.co.uk/carsforsale/3/jbs-lotus-elise-s2-gts-450

John FISH Curtis Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Why would you want 400-600bhp in an Elise?
Steve J Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Why would you want 400-600bhp in an Elise? Because it turns them from nice little sports cars, to awsome beasts.
MrSimba Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Why would you want 400-600bhp in an Elise? Well I definatly would not want anything over 450, 400 probably about perfect tho! You have a car with all the tactile cornering abilities & finess that you love but with phenomenal torque & power that will leave anything and I mean anything behind with the exception of Atoms / Ultima GTR's! It's not a big boys p'ing competition, but my god go out in a 400bhp car and it's intoxicatingly addictive!!! It's the nearest thing to a 1000cc sports bike with 4 wheels is the only way to begin to describe it, the acceleration in mine already at 300bhp is about the same as a bike above 50mph Mine should be 'done' soon & very happy to give you a pax ride John
Dazzx10r Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 Why would you want 400-600bhp in an Elise? Why not? whos say's that you HAVE to use it all??? with clever electronics you could make the power switchable between 2 or even 3 different maps!
Dazzx10r Posted October 29, 2012 Author Posted October 29, 2012 Just uploaded a few pics of my progress so far I need to sit down and write a blog now before I get into trouble! Check out my Album
rocketian Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Why would you want 400-600bhp in an Elise? Why ?? have a look here at a 700 hp Exige
mambosasa Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Just uploaded a few pics of my progress so far I need to sit down and write a blog now before I get into trouble! Check out my Album Where are the photos? And it's better that you do the blog as you proceed. It will be a nightmare to do it at a later date.
Dazzx10r Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 Why ?? have a look here at a 700 hp Exige That's 'Ronin' been around for quite a while now.
