This 2005 Lotus Elise is for sale on eBay<\/a> in Raleigh, North Carolina for $40,000 or will consider Porsche 911 trades. The factory 2ZZ inline-four was damaged at a track event and instead of rebuilding it, the owner opted for a full powertrain swap from a 2003 Acura RSX Type-S thanks to a Innovative K-Series mounts. The 2.0 L K20A2 inline-four features Eagle rods, Wiseco pistons, ACL Race bearings, ARP head studs, new camshafts and caps, new ported Honda oil pump, and custom manifold. It makes 330 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque to the wheels on 11 psi of boost from a Garrett 60-1 (.63 AR) turbocharger, 93 octane fuel, and Hondata KPro V4 ECU. Power goes to the wheels through a Competition Clutch Stage 5 clutch and lightweight flywheel, RSX Type-S six-speed manual with new gearing, Wavetrac LSD, and Innovative Lotus\/K-series axles. Some negatives are no AC (not charged), issue with blower motor resistor, and paint defects. The biggest issues<\/strong> that might need clarification from owner is the accident on the history report and statement “Odometer is functioning and tracks accurately but not on original mileage since the Honda swap”. <\/p>\n
