as a one off conversion then yes, it has been done before ...however its a heavy lump and not really recommended...there are other well sorted, proven and reliable engine conversions out there, in order of popularity; Honda K20A, Audi 1.8 Turbo, Ford Duratec 2.0L etc ...whats wrong with those?
hi there i went for a mg zt k series turbo engine in my s1 elise running 440cc injectors @ 3.5 bar pressure via fse pressure reg,vvc inlet manifold,pipercross viper induction system,emerald ecu,landrover multi layer head gasket,turbo chargecooler kit mounted in boot space with cooling rad mounted under eliseparts motorsport rad with twin fans, helex paddle clutch kit, toyo r888 tyres,standard gt20 mg zt turbo running 12 psi emerald dyno @ 211 bhp and 210 lb ft been running car for the last 10 weeks and is fantastic if you need pics and help bearing in mind you will need to be compitent with a set of spanners and a friend that can make you a custom exhaust manifold as the standard one wont fit also Modify the standard zt down pipe with flexi join
send me you email and i will send you pics and more info if your serious about the conversion your wont regreat it a friend has an evo fq 400 and they are side by side under Acceleration but then the braking point come into play and im long gone

Hi and welcome
glad to hear from someone thats actually done a conversion themselves
Im sure a few guys on www.seloc.org would like to hear about it - theres a techwiki section over there if you fancy doing a write up

hi again i have some pics on webshots if you click on my user id then on my cars then file elise s1 k series turbo then on the pic on the big black box on the right it will take you to the pics
will try to make time to do a full write up as when i was interested in doing the conversion there was no info to be found but still went for it anyway all payed of and proved it can been done
all tho it is very tight for future Maintenance
reason for me wanting to go k turbo route was mostly the elise is driven on road and have always had lazy turbo power with no need to work the gears to get the thing in motion must admit i wasnt expecting it to be such effortless power in any gear as it produces 150 lb ft @ 2000 rpm and climbs 175 lb ft @ 3000 rpm only down side is starts to full off @ 6000 will be looking into a different turbo later part of the year to hold better torque for longer @ higher rmp
ps does any of you guys know of a company that can make forged pistons and liners for the k turbo as i have a spare engine in the workshop that i would like to build to around the 300 bhp if i can and see if it will all hold to gether may be a little optimistic but maybe not im alwayz up for the challenge
turbo technics supercharge the exige s1 to 260 bhp any info would be greatly appreciated
