Boost is generated by a Precision Gen 2 6266 turbocharger off a KP T3 exhaust manifold with a Precision 46 mm wastegate, and Precision PT1000 water-to-air intercooler. The engine is fed fuel through four 1200 cc injectors on an AEM rail by two AEM E85 320 lph fuel pumps in the fuel tank. The motor produces 505 whp on 93 octane fuel or 739 whp on C16 race fuel. That power is transferred through a Competition Stage 5 clutch to a Quaife five-speed sequential transmission with a Wavetrac limited-slip differential. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/uOXMbvgVzFU?si=1LOZn_xSGXZEXoQp\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Lotus-Elise-With-A-Turbo-K20-02.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"6257\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=6257\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Lotus-Elise-With-A-Turbo-K20-02.jpg?fit=1400%2C933&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1400,933\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Lotus Elise With A Turbo K20 02\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Kings Performance Lotus Elise With A Turbo K20A2&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Lotus-Elise-With-A-Turbo-K20-02.jpg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Lotus-Elise-With-A-Turbo-K20-02.jpg?resize=640%2C426&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kings Performance Lotus Elise With A Turbo K20A2\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Lotus-Elise-With-A-Turbo-K20-02.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Lotus-Elise-With-A-Turbo-K20-02.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Lotus-Elise-With-A-Turbo-K20-02.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/engineswapdepot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Lotus-Elise-With-A-Turbo-K20-02.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/kingsperformance.com\/the-kp-lotus-elise-k20-turbo-project-is-done\/\">King Performance<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC0PXqiud6dbwOAk8RvslgpQ\">1320 Video<\/a>, and photos by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KevinLandersMedia\">Kevin Landers Media<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fernando Reyes is the CEO of Kings Performance.
