This Lotus Elise arrived at KMP Speed Shop in Longueuil, QC, Canada with a Honda K20A2 inline-four. The company was tasked with installing a new turbo and electronics system. In the engine bay they added a custom short-runner exhaust manifold, Turbosmart 6262 turbocharger, and AEM water/methanol injection system. The 1600 lb (725 kg) car now produces 572 hp (420 kW) at 21 psi (1.4 bar) of boost on ethanol fuel. To control everything KMP Speed Shop installed a ECUmaster EMU Pro 8 ECU, PMU 16, and ADU 5 digital display. Since this car was built for track usage, they implemented adjustable traction, throttle, and boost levels. All these settings are adjustable via switches on steering wheel.
