Yeah I think you'll be fine 'cos you've got a dump valve at the throttle - that's what I think the S2 240 S/C was missing. Obviously you need to tune it to go "woosh" in a pleasing waystratosboy wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:14 pmcheers Robin,
appreciate your thoughts on this, I'll check out what your saying here, with my engine builder. Should be ok, as this is a tried and tested conversion, with plenty of Audi turbo engined Elise's out there now.

cheers Robin, I'll let you know when I'm up and running ....meanwhile my inlet is done and on, just needs a filter now to fit onto the end.
it's all very snug, I may need to add some heat protection later.

Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project
so finally my clutch bleeder block arrives from the USA, ordered in March! - yes I know there's a global pandemic going on....but this is the last time I order anything from USA, unexpected customs charge of £30 puts the total cost of this little fella at a whopping £160!!!!
- it's about 3 inches long!

Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project
yes it is.
meanwhile, as it's going to be a while before this gets finished I've been wanting to find a nice S1 Elise, and brought this home today:
it's a really nice. low mileage (30k) 111S, brought back from Japan, it's very clean underneath, no corrosion at all.

Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project
bit of an update...electrics are being sorted. I'm having a new loom made specifically for this as a modified car, rather than buy a Lotus loom and modify it.
Fuse box being made up:
switch panel with starter button & toggle switches:
stack gauges:
front and rear clam looms:
new main loom being fitted to car this week with GAWR dash fitted too.

Re: S1 Elise Motorsport replica project
brief update, new wing trial fitted today,
what colour do you think it should be, satin black or body coloured?
