For sale is my 1.8 vhpd k series engine, gearbox, carbon fibre airbox and Emerald ECU.
This kit will shortly be removed from my S1 Exige to make room for a Honda conversion. This was originally a Lotus 192 upgrade engine but was later linked and re-mapped with an Emerald.
This engine has now done 38,000 miles. However at 28,000 miles, it had a complete re-build at Lotus specialists, Lakeside Engineering. The invoice states that the engine and gearbox were stripped and rebuilt using new parts:- Alternator, 10 head bolts, 1 headgasket set, 1 lower gasket set, 1 main bearing set, 1 big end bearing set, 2 thrust washers, 8 con rod bolts, 2 liquid gasket, 1 inlet manifold gasket, 1 oil pump, 1 cam belt, 1 alternator belt, 1 AP racing clutch, 1 AP racing clutch centre plate, 1 AP racing clutch cover, 1 clutch bearing, 1 oil pick up filter, 6 flywheel bolts, 1 cam belt cover, 6 clutch bolts, 1 oil filler cap, 16 shims, specilaist charge to skim cylinder head, specialist charge to drill out flywheel bolts and recut threads, spark plugs. The owner at the time remembers spending around 6K.
At the moment this engine is still in the car and its going very well. I will get some video footage of it in the car running as it will probably be taken out near the start of May. Maidstone Sports Cars in Headcorn, Kent will be carrying out the conversion, so this is where it will be kept until sold.
Please ring me on 07966 166 441 for any information or to arrange to see it. �2,500 ONO
