it's bad *** is what it is, i'd say that thing would run atleast a 12.9 on slicks in that form right there, 1600lbs!!! 260hp!!! and mid engine rear wheel drive!!!

 

Is this something that Lotus is doing or is it just someones custom job?

 

there is a company that puts B18C5's into them for $55k, but this is a new one ot me

 

Prototype Racing

They make those conversions plus a nice new lightweight set of roller rockers.

 

I like the straight intake pipe. That couldn't hurt either.

 

is that a new accord type r motor? doesnt look liek a K or maybe im wrong

 

0-60 in THREE POINT SEVEN!!!!!!

<U>3.7s !!!!!!!!!!</U>

 

if im not mistaken that would be a s2000 motor ,f22c, i think that is what it is called f22c?

 

Those cars handle like go carts too. That would be fun to AutoX in.

 

there was a lotus elise (i think elise) in sport compact car a couple months back, it had a integra type R motor and it ran a 12.33, they tested the lotus against a mustang cobra R and the lotus smote it in quarter mile and on the twistys. just thought yall might like to know.

 

yea i got that issue. they are production aren't they?

 

I know for a fact that lotus has used honda engines in their cars before. Like the one mentioned above that smote the cobra r. They may be doing it again.

 

It's a K20 motor. The S2000 motor is an F20C1 and it's coming soon

 

Arb has made his best post yet!

 

ill take one

 

lotus doesn't use honda engines as OEM solutions, they currently use a Rover engine producing ~120hp (in the markets they are currently in, and in the soon to be US spec elise). the honda swaps you've seen have either been from Prototype racing (who are in the process of developing a bellhousing to mate the k20 to the F20c so they can put the f20c in the back of an elise/exige), or Sun Industries with their ~220whp b18c5.

it was Sun Industries elise in sport compact car.

Double checked your info and you're right. Well it was a friend that worked at a honda dealership that told me that but im glad someone corrected me before I made myself sound really stupid. I guess anyone can be misinformed. Hehe now I get to go make him look like an idiot.

 

OK!, that car is a lotus EXIGE, it comes with a 1.8L engines, so it's the integra engine. That car has been around quite a few years, it's kinda the brother of the Lotus Elise, but it's a lil stronger, it's more of as racing car than the elise.
It is fast as hell and it's pretty awesome.

very cool car. I like the part about having a b18c5 buzzing right behind your head!

 

-Sun Industries are a bunch off tossers...
-Prototype Racing
-Look at the Prototype Racing website there you see a B18c5 in the same Exige
-The picture above is a K20A
-The car is suplied from The Netherlands,Europe
-Prototype Racing is also working on a Frankstein K24+TypeR head...
