Lotus Elise with a Turbo Honda K24

This yellow Lotus Elise was built by the owner and Tailored Chassis Solutions (TCS) in Millbury, Massachusetts. In the back of the car is a turbocharged Honda K24A2 inline-four producing 412 hp (303 kW) and 320 lb-ft (433 Nm) of torque to the wheels. The motor features stock internals, RBC intake manifold with Skunk2 70 mm throttle body, Miser electric water pump, BorgWarner EFR 7163 turbocharger, and custom exhaust manifold. Charge air is kept cool by a Bell water-to-air intercooler with 1000 hp-capable core and front mounted heat exchanger. The fuel system was converted to a return-style using a 60-liter cell, AEM 340 lph pump, and ID 1300 cc injectors. Everything is controlled by a Haltech Nexus R3 ECU using a modified Rywire K-series wiring harness. Power is sent to the wheels through an E153F five-speed manual transmission from a MR2 Turbo with an aftermarket limited-slip differential and Monkeywrench Racing axles.
