Lotus Elise 111R - Supercharged

I had a "Katana" supercharger kit fitted to my 2005 Elise 111R. It added around 40 bhp and 30 ft lb of torque over a good rev range. The 2nd cam "kick" at 6200 rpm has gone as the change point is now around 4500 rpm. The improvement feels much greater than the before and after video would suggest. I also had a TRD filter kit fitted and the brakes upgraded. The Larini exhaust was already fitted.

Hi there,
Thanks for the video.
I have a 111R and thinking about adding a supercharger. Can you let me know how much it came to in total (not with the exhaust or new brakes though)? I am from Essex and could literally do the same thing and at the same place.
Also have you noticed / had any issues since having it?
Thanks. :-)

Hi, Can't remember cost exactly but was somewhere around 4k including the rolling road remap. No issues. Worth doing in my opinion.

Hi there
Did you have to have the bottom end strengthened like you need to have done on the k series or is the 111r different and does this not need doing?
Thanks

[@yeatmc]

No - only went for mild charge so as to avoid stressing the gearbox. I've not read that the bottom end is an issue.

@@yeatmc What is the adress of the tuner?

[@jeroen3786]

I have a 111R and installed an OEM Supercharger set. I think the mapping isn't great and can be optimized.
