I have had a look through the various posts on the Gotham reflash.
As far as I can see the ECU needs to be sent to Sector 111 in the States and larger 440cc Injectors installed. Total cost with postage/courrier etc will be around �1,400 which looks like great value for a power gain of around 27 HP.
My car is a standard S except for a Pipercross induction system and my questions are…
Has anyone done this yet on a standard UK “S”?
If so how does the car feel, any downside performance wise?
How long was the turn around including shipping with Sector 111.
My car still has a long warranty left and I guess this will negate it…when a Lotus garage hooks up to the ECU will it flag the reflash?
I saw a reference to Sinclairs as Sector 111 UK agent but there was no mention on their site, that I could see, indicating they will offer this reflash.
ASAIK there is not a Gotham tuned car in the UK yet, you are correct that Sinclaire is the Sector agent and the upgrade should be available soon, my car is going to be the first one to get it so watch this space.
As for warranty I’m sure that Lotus will not warranty certain items on your car after it has been done but this is the case with almost any upgrade including your induction kit. You might also be interested in the charge cooler upgrade I have already carried out as this appears to have been very beneficial already.
I saw your post on the charge cooler and it looks like a first class piece of kit however I would like to see the result of the reflash on a standard UK car first.
How long have Sector 111 had your ECU? I use my car most days so I want to minimise the downtime.
Looking forward to your experience on the reflash…
They don’t have it as yet, I am hoping it will be done soon. I expect to loose the car for a couple of weeks, but I’m sure if the demand is there Wayne at Sinclaires might start doing exchange items
