I posted him a question about the engine came on here and you had posted this. It must be kismit! It will be mine... Oh yes it will be mine (name the movie).

I'm asking about engine numbers, ancillaries and the like.

Cheers........ Neil

i saw that earlier as well, does not specify how many miles the engine has done though?

What sort of power can you get out of one of these?

300bhp plus, but as said very budget dependant.

ok, so next question is;

Does anyone have



  1. UN1 to Duratec Adapter plate
  2. UN1 Gearbox / bellhousing to make an adapter plate
  3. any other ideas to get around 300hp+?


Has anyone mated these two before? I see on the lotus forums that there is a guy that has done it, but would prefer to speak to someone in person.

Cheers,
Rich.

I did, but my sources are secret

To be honest I dont know if he has any more. If he reads this then you might find out

Jam sport sell them too. £1420+vat for a C90-38

goaty - 10/9/09 at 05:39 PM

i do hope they let them selves known ,
could really do with one now. Gotta start to make things fit, dry sump pump is main issue at the mo...
have you managed to mount yours as yet???

Not got the rotrex mounted yet no. Waiting to get a mount plate drawn up to get it laser cut, when I get around to it! Been busy with other things recently

goaty - 10/9/09 at 05:49 PM

cool beans, cant wait to see how it comes out, i may end up mounting mine on the exhaust side too but waiting for end of september before i start thinking of dropping it in the car to look at mountings.
Space is a real issue though ehh .
All the best

goaty - 12/9/09 at 03:37 PM

still at a very good price with a day left

Nash - 12/9/09 at 11:14 PM

It doesn't come with any ancillaries in fact what you see is what you get.

Best factor in a significant budget to get it running never mind up to 300+ BHP!

I'm watching it but I don't think its a shinning example and I certainly don't think its cheap even at the numbers its currently at.

Neil,

There are no anciliaries other than the coil pack that you can use from the duratec anyway. everything else is make it yourself or buy. Going rate is currently between 250 and 400 for a bare engine.

Really!? So starter motor, alternator, ECU, Injection system, all have to be sourced / made on the fly?! I'm flabbergasted! In fact never has my gast been so flabbered!

SO what is the budget cost (assumming you put a standard engine in) for Duratec'ing a Seven?

.....Neil

Nash - 13/9/09 at 05:08 PM

so it finally went for £257

You were right on the money David.

Starter you can use yes. ECU and std intake are useless as is the alternator.

That engine which has just sold had the injectors and fuel rail fitted, which are fine for 200bhp.

For my NA duratec I did it for about £800/900. Thats with bike throttle bodies on MS.

Was a bargain at a smidge over £250

Hi

Although one of the very first jobs you would want to be doing is strip the engine down and have the front pulleys keyed on to the crankshaft before they slip and bugger the whole engine.

Cheers Matt
