Lowering the cam change point on Elise 111R

[jim7777]

I'm looking at lowering the cam change point and am wondering on a few things:

• To what RPM can it be lowered to?
• Does this have any negative impact on the engine?
• Can anyone recommend a reputable business to do the re-flash?
• Approximate cost?

Cheers

I did this on my previous car (2007 111r) and highly recommend it. It not only drops the change point, but makes the transition much smoother rather than like switching on light switch everytime.

1, I think it changed it from 6200 to 5500 rpm.
2, I had mine done for a number of years with no issues.
3, I'm sure it was Essex Autosport (Wayne I think) Done by post. (Remove ECU and post to them and they return) Slight;ly fiddly but I managed it! (I seem to remember dropping something into the engine bay, so be careful!)
4, Can't remember, but I'm thinking it was £100-£150 prob 5 years ago.

HTH, Mark

My series 2 R, sent the ECU to B&C and they sent it of to lotus. Made the car so much more drivable and less frantic. Think it changed at about 5.5k.
