2005 Hondata/Prototype Racing Lotus Elise

As good as it is, the Lotus Elise isn't immune to improvement, and the Hondata version is proof. The key element is a simple engine swap by Prototype Racing—a Honda (Acura RSX) K20A 2.0-liter DOHC 16-valve aluminum four and six-speed manual transmission in place of the stock 1.8-liter Toyota four and six-speed. The engine swap alone ($11,000) would enhance the Elise's hustle, but the addition of a Jackson Racing supercharger ($3000), Hondata ECU ($1000), Prototype Racing intercooler ($1000), and limited-slip differential make it a formidable street fighter.

The sum of these mods was a claimed 320 horsepower, at 9 psi of boost, yielding a succession of sub-four-second 60-mph runs and low-12-second quarter-miles. We were also impressed by this car's tractability on the street. Power delivery was linear, plentiful, and easy to manage. There was only one downside, but it was highly audible: At full song, the supercharger could be heard in the next county. One tester thought it sounded like "a Stuka flying a raid over Warsaw, circa 1939." This spawned love or hate in all who experienced it: the gratification of boost tempered by a deluge of decibels.

Although the Hondata car gave a good account of itself, in the end it seemed something of an unfinished symphony. The Elise was equipped with a $6000 set of Öhlins adjustable shocks, but the spring rates were stock. Similarly, a set of Yokohama Advan Neova tires enhanced grip, but stock wheels limited the contact patch, and worse, stock brake pads limited braking performance.

Que nivel el que ha de manejar ese carro :adorar:

yo probe con el motor de toyota celica vvti 1.8 y como jalaba mas que un R stock ya me imagino este

En una revista por alli tengo la comparacion del Exige y el F430.
Y mencionan que para ser un motor 1.8 el carro se maneja increible en comparacion con el Ferrari.

que $$$$$ gastaron!! pero que maniobrabilidad ha de tener!

:sustopop:

:susto: uta q deawuevo

:adopaja:

yo lo e visto con el motor b18c el de un type R DC2

Naaaah para que amargarse la vida haciendo swaps extraños? Si forced fed ofrece un kit turbo practicamente plug and play que cuesta mucho menos, el carro queda mas rapido y de paso no es un frankenstein con injertos raros....A mi no me gusto para nada....

ese turbo kit, es carisimo igual si no estoy mal, ahora el swap mucha gente lo hace, el motor honda es mejor que el toyota especificamente el que trae el Lotus..

:adorar:

A mi ya me dió curiosidad como ha de sonar en altas :oscar2: :youtubeando:

EDIT: Aquí está el video :alaputa:


Salu2

Caro? Hablas de costos cuando se gastaron mas de 25000 en ese swap???? El sport pack 275 de forced fed cuesta alrededor de 8000 dolares y deja el motor en 275 HP, y recorriendo el 1/4 en 12.5 seg (gastarias 20000 mas para bajar solo dos decimas? yo no lo haria) y el sport 400 que es una vaina grosera con un motor strokeado, levas mas agresivas, bielas forjadas y todo lo demas cuesta menos de 20000, entonces insisto, no me gusta ese swap.
P.d: Turbo mejor que supercargador, las correas solo sirven para amarrarse los pantalones.:)

Yo siempre repetaria los supercagadores vos :si: :D
