Wez Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Hey All, Anyone know where I might be able to get an Elise or Exige without the engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Let me guess. You have a Honda Civic Type R engine or an Audi lump in your possession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Nope, sadly, although those would be good options too I have a tomcat engine running 220hp from my old car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 Just noticed you got a S1 Elise, my mate has a S1 JPS Edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I have a tomcat engine running 220hp from my old car. WOW - 220bhp in a lightweight chassis... what are the specs of the engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 2Ltr turbo running about 1 bar boost, they were 200hp standard, just upped the boost and made sure fueling was ok. I have the engine, gearbox, ECU and loom sitting around doing nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Sounds awesome if it fits! My Elise had a nasty misfire and it was undriveable last week, but now I've replaced the distributor cap, rotor arm, plugs and leads it feels fantastic. So today I strapped a video camera to the passenger seat and went for a blast! I'm going to upload it to youtube in a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 It will fit, I think its been done a couple of times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucifer Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 2Ltr turbo running about 1 bar boost, they were 200hp standard, just upped the boost and made sure fueling was ok. I have the engine, gearbox, ECU and loom sitting around doing nothing. The T series is a bit heavy for the Elise. I would Stik a tuned 1.6 "K" in there. 200Bhp you know.

Chris Wilson Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 If you ask on the forums at http://www.bookatrack.co.uk you may find someone with one, or who knows of one. If Mountune ever get the damned thing to run reliably the Russell Savory V8 would be nice in the back of one: http://www.rst-v8.com There's one in the back of the sister car to my Zeus with the Formual Atalntic Toyota in it, pics at ftp://ftp.chriswilson.tv/Zeus_V8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
