quote:Originally posted by RussT:it stands for Alpha Force-Assisted Injection K-series, and was based on the 1.8 K., especially designed for turbo and supercharged installations. I think it was the G60 Golf?Corrado that used them, although I stand to be corrected…Thanks Russ - are you pulling my wosname? Have you been watchin too much star trek? I think Pesky’s AFAIK sounds more hopefull!!So this will go into my exige then? Is it a bit too heavy IYHO? Anyway my mates a bit practical wiv cars and reckons this is the way to go… I also think that - like the BBR guy - Turbos are the way to go… Although he might have been a bit more civil about it, anything else is really just tinkering around the edges. I mean a grand for 10 horses doesn’t really sound like VFM to me (mind you neither does BBR’s prices.So if it will go in I think I might save up some pennies - get my VHPD out and get this AFAIK thingy in and give it a whirl??thanks again to Russ & Pesky - any more knowledge aboot this please let me know.chheers

The KV6 will fit but it is a lot of work. There was an Elise fitted with one kicking around at Lotus as a development vehicle a couple of years ago. Problem was the extra weight and only 170bhp wasn’t really that impressive, however a blown version would probably be quite good! There is a turbo version of the K series due out soon but it is only rated @ 160bhp!
