Adaptronic ecu fitted and up and running

[m100sandra]

The Elan will be back Tomorow from it stay with Chris at efiparts http://www.efi-parts.co.uk/northwest-rolling-road.php The dyno plots are below....
Its prob worth noting that the rolling road reads really accurate, i.e. Aimys VX220 Turbo St4 measured 286bhp at other places its recorded 300+ so i would guess it could end up around 250bhp on a diferent rolling road Chris as said that it drives really well.
Its back Tomorrow

Whohooo! No night sleep for you then

You really have done a lot in a short time on your little Elan!
I can't wait the stories about the experiences with this latest mod

[m100sandra]

I did mean to mention the boost is turned down in 1st gear to to keep the mid range torque down, Rev limiter set at 7300rpm, Chris reckons it pulls strong beyond 7000rpm, 5000rpm rev limit until temps go over 60deg..

Not at all.
Interesting to hear that your new ECU has some extra features like reduced boost at cold temps & in 1st gear.

You will get wheel slip this weather. Tyres which we usually consider to be quite sticky don't work quite so well below about 10c. My daily is on winter tyres now because the front end was just starting to slide a little with the Toyo Proxes on there.

Keep posting your upgrades and experiences

Waterdipped?

Looks ace!

[mikeydude]

water transfer printing.......so cool...

That looks fantastic
What company did you use and how much does it cost ?

http://www.wickedcoatings.co.uk/ The best way is to send them a picture with a tape measure next to the item you want coating and they will send you a price.... They do all sorts of finishing.

thanks Sandra, ... just been looking at DIY kits as I would like to have a go myself , there is some tutorial on youtube that makes it look doable http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj6W7NQWPQo

[m100sandra]

I dont think anyone here would have the bottle your right though, it does look doable.

The latest part that will need fitting (polished)

[m100sandra]

Now fitted along with the quick shift

[Elanlover]

I.............want...............that.........engine!

All the fine work you are doing on your car is making me very envious. The power curves from the dyno look really good and the AFR's are very nice. Which model of adaptronic ecu did you get? I went to their website but didn't see the M-100 listed in their lotus section. I live in the USA but I'm lucky enough have a local tuner who is quite gifted. He has done some stunning work on my Fiat 500 Abarth. I'm going to turn him loose on the M100 soon. He says there's only so much he can do with the primitive stone age ECU that came with the car. The adaptronic ECU appears to be just what he needs.
You seem to be doing some of the most interesting upgrades going on at present. It's actually a little bit inspiring. Please keep up the good work and post often.
I think it's time for me to open my wallet wide.

I wonder if there's a "kit" to ne had regarding the new ECU and programming??????
