Apexi Power FC and DC headers

[ontada2]

Has anyone tested a celica gt-s power fc on an Elise?

What about DC headers?

I am thinking about purchasing an Elise, but I get bored of cars real fast. I want to make sure that I have a full arsenal of aftermarket parts available to me.

I have seen the following:
cold air intakes
full engine internals except camshafts
headers, if the gt-s headers fit
exhausts

still looking for:
stand alones
adjustable suspension parts
forced induction kits
short throw shift kits

The nice thing about a company like Lotus is thay make race cars.
The headers are allready the best and the Toyota headers would not work due to the Elise being mid engine with central exhaust Lotus makes 3 deferent mufflers, 2 being sport exhaust and are louder. The cars in Europe have had Konis that you could use that are adjustable both rebound and height you could us them but the Belstens are custom made for the Elise and there are two levels of fermness but remimber Lotus is the best suspension tuner in the world. Besides it's a Lotus not a VW.

the Power FCs are great tuning devices that are simple to use, on a stock engine gains are minimal. if you were running a honda k-series like some european elises,gains are far more substantial do to honda's factory choked engine. as far as a header, i think DC sport would be a serious downgrade in performance over the stock one, anthing that will make noticable increased power is going to most likely custom made at this point with large primaries and a beefy collector. smsp and hytech make great number, their custom headers start around a thousand and take a few months.

The Lotus ECU uses a different ECU connector than the Toyota ECU. As a result, the A'PEX Integration Power FC cannot directly be plugged into the harness. In theory a jumper harness could be made to alow the Power FC to function on a Lotus but it hasn't been done yet.
