135 and the standard Elise

[Nick J]

What is the difference between the 2 cars, in particular the power difference?

The 111S has a different head to get the extra power over the standard model, so what does the 135 have and can I do it to my S1?

Thanks in advance guys.

it has some cams, a mildy ported head and a remapped ECU

you can do anything you like to your S1 Engine

go here www.dvapower.co.uk for options and prices...

power difference in the real world is 15-20bhp ...dosent knock much off the 0-60, but performance over 80mph is better...knocks about 3 secs off the 0-100 time

I have a tuned Elise (www.bell-colvill.co.uk/LotusShop/Details.asp?Id=BC160) and one comment I will make is that recently I had the cams retimed and a 421 Piper manifold fitted. The car now pulls cleanly to the limiter and really makes use of the extra power the cams and other bits at the top end of the rev range. Sub 5k revs back to back with a standard car I would say there isnt a huge difference, but at the tail end on the 118 car the revs seem to tail off whereas with the tuned car mine seem to keep going, as proven by the torque/power curve from Surrey rolling road the other week. The 421 seems to have really now given the car a cleaner feel right through that power band.

Who did the verniers & retime schnozz if you don't mind me asking, and rough cost?

The B&C kit was all fitted by B&C (or whoever they use for the job ) but I got Ian at Miles' place to time the cams for me recently.

Rough ££'s?

think it was roughly £120 - 3/4 hours labour.

Standard cams on the 135. Alloy plenum/manifold also part of the kit.

Cams were added to make the Sport 160.
