Project Rexige... Lotus S2, K24 Turbo + sequential project

[coopedup]

This will surely be epic to drive!!

[Butter Face]

That looks mental. Great work.

Well... progresss has been slower than I would like... but the engine and box I am assured will be ready by the end of this month...

New longerons, more gold sticky back plastic, new subframe... Aim dash mounted, fire systems, new battery cable and battery moved to the front, heater deleted... a fair amount done... just need an engine, gearbox, plumbing, loom and mapping now (just)...

[sl0wlane]

K24 block
K24 crank
Darton MID sleeves (block is 99x87)

Etc etc

Anyone want to guess what power it might make?

[sc0tt]

608

[Butter Face]

That looks awesome, 500ish?

[ManOpener]

650 at the crank, maybe 570 at the wheels?

[trails]

GT35 based blower, 2.4 and 1000cc injectors...got to be capable of 600/650...so depends who is mapping it I guess

Good luck

Getting closer... almost time to fire it up for the first time, both exciting and totally nerve racking.

I’m almost glad I’m in another country and cant be near it for first start up, brand new never been run engine adds an element of (wallet) fear to the mix.

Yep... I think the numbers here are about right, I’ll be gutted if if doesn’t make 500+ at the wheels, power graph to follow in the not too distant future (I hope!)

Many things have happened since I last updated this thread.

Engine is running, had a bit of fun and games with the gearbox, but mostly just learning how to set them up really...

All now working.





I have a list longer than my arm of stuff to finish configuring on the dash/wheel/PDM/ECU...

[Fonzey]

Very cool, been following a little closer on SELOC. Looking forward to seeing this finished, or at least - finished enough for the road

[Mgd_uk]

Fantastic, can’t wait to see this finished.

[frayz]

That will piss 650bhp all day on that turbo with some decent fuel. Good luck.

[Mgd_uk]

What kind of power is it making then?

[sl0wlane]

Only managed 7k @ 18psi and a very conservative map so far, needs another day on the rollers to get the headline result... So has only done 420 at the wheels so far.
