Quick question guys, when getting the 260 upgrade can you list what parts were needed? Was it just the Uprated fuel pump and injectors?
I recently contacted lotus and was told I would also need to fit the Uprated flywheel/clutch otherwise they would not carry out the work?
Depends on your current set up. Lotus Newcastle upgraded mine from 240, all I needed was ECU and software, fuel pump and adapter. I already had the injectors installed and a trd airbox. If you contact Lotus Newcastle or Christopher Neils I’m sure they could help you out.
I had the same response from Lotus (factory) when I enquired and they also recommend their Stage 3 exhaust.
To go from my 240 spec car to 260, the parts required in my case were as follows:
FUEL PUMP A127L6002F
RETAINER KIT
ECU
LIGHTWEIGHT FLYWHEEL A128E6022F
FLYWHEEL BOLTS A120E6197S
GEAR OIL C082F6552S
I already have the correct injectors, uprated TRD clutch, and Stage 3 exhaust.
Lightweight flywheel!?
Thats new to me. I was not told that, or ever seen it part of the 260 upgrade during my research.
No lightened flywheel when I had mine done at CN’s …
Hmm, just received a email from CNs who just confirmed the parts needed and was no mention of flywheel/clutch.
The price of flywheel was 800 plus 550 fitting, plus the clutch at 500 so a major price hike over other 260 packages.
I just need to confirm I have the Uprated fuel pump. Is there any way to tell the difference by looking at it?
No it’s not but every little helps…
My uprated denso pump has a grey bottom instead of gold/brass. The top plastic section is much larger. Look on the seriously lotus website for a side by side comparison.
Hmm, I’m a little concerned that I have been swindled. The base of the “Uprated fuel pump” I purchased is gold/brass. Will have a look to seriously lotus website
Next question, I understand there are 2 versions of green denso injectors? Is there an easy way to tell if they are the Uprated ones?
Exact same thing happened to me laat summer. Now got to sell it! Grrrr
By the Part number?
Yes, I saw your post which then made me look into my purchase. I must of purchased the set around 2 years ago but not fitted.
The marking on the injectors are
8K42 on one side and
0670 922 10 23250-YW201 on the other?
