Just got a reply:

Includes Piper 285 cams and caps etc

Work was carried out by A and W engines in Chester who have some killer K series heads, Powderpuff has one and a friend of his is a K series engineer at Rover and is well impressed with their work.

Its a full port , its a head for that if I'd put it on a 1900 block would have got me above 210 , above 190 on 1800 and forged etc

BTW, Powderpuff is a Caterham guy who does sprints etc

Hope this helps

If you're looking to put this on an elise you'll need direct to head throttle bodies, and airbox and an ECU or you'll need to swap out the 285H cams for something tamer and then you can keep the standard setup.

I would say this is doable in an S1 and harder in an S2.

Cheers,
Robin

I did wonder if there'd be any Caterham to Elise complications.....

Thanks for the clarification Robin

cheers. - probably not ideal for my needs on the S2. - i'm really not keen to go DTHTBs and monkey with the boot.

thanks anyway, guys!
