Minor upgrades complete !

[lwalling]

I've completed the installation of ..

"Everest" ECM Upgrade
NGK Iridium Plugs (A must... in my opinion)
Top End Performance intake pipes & filter
TurboXS Blow-off Valve (Loud! A RIOT!)
Free-flowing pre-cat

And my car is basically a totally new car, it doesn't perform remotely similar to it's stock form when I received it less than a month ago - it's damn fast for what it is. I can keep within two carlengths of my coworkers 500hp Ford Lightning in the stop-light grand prix :).

The only thing I have left to do is install the Dynoflow Bullet muffler and 2.5" Dynoflow cat.

I did discover a large DENT in my intercooler at the top screwing up the top three rows ability to flow and what looks like a small hole in the bottom right corner of it (really the ONLY negative on an otherwise perfectly clean/unscathed undercarriage), I am in need of advise on what to do. I'd like to buy a larger intercooler to put in place of this one - if thats possible to fit it. Any advice? Anything already available in the US or UK that's a drop in replacement that performs better ?

Thanks in advance for any feedback. I am having a good time with my little rice burner british roadster !

'Turbocharger' is working on a more efficient intercooler as you can read in the following link: -

Also 'Lotusgirlmarie' had a larger unit made that was a straight swap for the stock item?

Any chance of a pic or 2 ?

It's all working GREAT! Just a couple used-car related problems to solve (like the intercooler) and a slightly leaky radiator, and the car will literally be damn near perfect all the way around.

I don't know why Lotus didn't provide more boost to begin with and a decent exhaust, those two items alone would have definately made the sales of this little car far better.

Asking for pictures from me ? Or the prior post - anything specific you'd like to see ?

Thanks.

And it's done !

The 2.5" exhaust system is on, it's loud to with the Walker/Dynomax Bullet muffler and basically straight through 2.5" CAT from the same.

The damn car has a ton more power on the low end - it will actually break traction from a dead stop (and I'm not talking dumping the clutch here) when the turbo spools up which is a RIOT.

I highly recommend the changes I've made to any Elan owner - this is what Lotus should have done in the first place.

Now I just have to fix my headlight problem (thats on another thread...).

Thanks.
