how many total hours did it take you?
man do i have to poop. nice supercharger though!
Look for Honda powered (k20/k24) Elise…not even supercharged imagine the power after being (Turbo/Supercharged) boosted.
You can check out the specifics of the kit on VisionFunction’s website, but I believe it works on any Elise 2005 or newer. All of the US Elise’s are Toyota engines, but I don’t know if that’s true for others (there may be differences in either the engine or the ECU).
As far as whether to get a stock SC or aftermarket – the ECU mod that CharlieX made for this is awesome, so my experience has been that it’s just as ‘civilized’ as a stock vehicle. I would do aftermarket.
Hi there. im dreaming of this car since years, so I have to get one over the “Used Car Market” from england, because they are unaffordable in austria!
Is it right, that every 1.8L 141kW (192PS) version got a toyota engine, build year from 2004 on? Only toyota engined elises are suitable for this supercharger kit, aren’t they? How do I know if a Toyota engine is installed?
Or should i go for an Elise SC?
Would be very grateful for any help!

many people change the layout and get rid of the boot space to make room
No, there are some people who turbo the Elise – I think the first FI kits was turbo, but they seemed to be a bit more of a pain (on the ECU side), and the power curve is far less linear which wasn’t as desirable for me.
Not really, and I think it’s substancially easier now than when I did it (I was one of the first, so the instructions were a work in progress). This was the first time I did anything like this, so as long as you follow the instructions and take your time it should be easy. They guys at Vision/Function were great also, always available and helped me whenever I had any quesitons.. Would do it in a heatbeat again.
i installed one from these guys..and other than a missed placed bracket(i missed placed it) this thing was a two day deal.would have been one but body has to come off..this kit really wakes up the lotus..entirely too much fun
Was it difficult to install it?
It is always posible, try adding twin turbos to a GTO, Vette or an M5 with a V10, it is all posible
in such a tight engine compartment adding upgrades sucs a turbo might be not possible huh?
what kind of supercharger is it where did u get the kit and how much was it all in the end
I guess the rear clam hinge paid off a lot in time terms, since if you had to take off/on the rear clam you’d had to another another 3-4hours on your workload!:)
Excellent video!
I promise to have some up soon – and not timelapsed so you can enjoy the sounds as well – it’s sweeeeet. 😉
aaaaw no footage of it in action?
