Get rid of that horrible paint job, paint it fireball red, and I'll take one. I'll probably have to lose some weight though. :wtf:

cut and paste from Exige S
"Hanging off the back of its Yamaha-built Toyota four-cylinder is an intercooled Eaton M62 supercharger. Thanks to the blower (the engine remains unmodified internally), power rises to 243 hp and torque climbs to 174 lb-ft. According to factory claims, 60 mph arrives in 4.1 seconds"


Eaton M62 is found in Mini S(JCW package), Cobalt SS/SC, Ion Redline:grin:
they use a air-to-air IC VVT and can spin 8K or 8.5K for a couple seconds
I don't remember what the 2-11 did to that setup to get more.. valve work, comp?

I wanna know what pulley size they are using on the 62 and am kinda curious how they spin so fast w/ it. Heat has to become an issue?!?! it is a for us and we only go 7K for the most part

if you like their drive train look at the Aerial Atom2 it went toyota for a while then LSJ/M62 iirc

sounds like the same motor package thats on the 240r. and the reason for the upgraded power is from the supercharger,air to air intercooler, additional injector and reprogrammed ecu ^_^. thank the jeebus for having a older car mag around the house with lotus being featured in it
