The finished Engine costs about 7000 dollars.

How much is the TT 260?

do you have an elise liquid?

if so arent you satisfied? i cant see the point personally of doing such things to a "perfect" car??

if you have not got one yet, then wait until you have and watch all these hugely priced possibilities fly out the window.

IMHO.

Over in the UK it costs £10K from www.blinkmotorsport.com for a 200bhp K20 conversion - there are quite a few around over here now.

trouble is, that's just 260 bullshit horse power....

seen other figures from the very same Dynopac, (with Hondata ECU's etc) and they just don't measure up (a so called 275 = 212 for example)

I have the 160PS VVC engine in my 111S - I'm concerned that the honda engine may be a little peaky in low-grip conditions. Having said that, if you're a good enough driver (I'm thinking throttle control) it should make for a pretty rapid toy.
