Straight cut/ dog engagement gears are lighter and sometimes shift faster, but the overall strength of the transmission is often dictated by the case holding the entire kit n kaboodle together. Helical gears produce a great deal of strain on the shafts/ case, which is often why a gearbox fails and not necessarily teeth shearing on an individual gear.

I have credited him a million times over the past year of owning the car, and I’ve also done lot to get the car running. I never once said I built the car originally, and it wasn’t just “seats, axles, and tune” as I was told when I bought the car from him because that wasn’t even close. Had to redo the coolant system, lots of wiring, pull the engine/trans because trans casing was crack and replaced thrust bearings due to some movement with the crank, new accessories such as the boost controller and vtec solenoid because they weren’t working at all, new wheels and tires, new seats and harnesses, axles, bleed the brakes and clutch, then get the car started and tuned, etc. Yeah he may have built the car beforehand which I was thankful for and anybody would have jumped on it for the price I paid for it, but at some point I shouldn’t have to continue to keep crediting him when I’ve done plenty of work to it and will continue to do so. Everyone that knows me personally knows that I bought the car unfinished and finished it up nor do I tell anybody I did all the originally work he did, but those same people know how much had money and time I’ve had to put into the car too.

@@aftrnoon_ac yes 👍
Mr. D hmmm... is it good or bad?
Bad. You lose bottom end with the vtec engaged as you are on the high profile lobe.
@@aftrnoon_ac when you are 700 hp, no reason to maintain the economy of a non-vtec. Might as well keep the vtec on all the time.
This guy's excitement is overwhelming...
Makes me miss that Roin lotus compound charged elise that was around a few years ago
Compound twincharged yea. It's still around as a lotus 211 open top
Simon Hill no it got totaled again
Ronin's car is nuts
Perfect car !!!!!😍
Sick little sled, always loved Lotus cars light and handling up the wazoo
A mini venom gt lol
Well a Venom GT is legally a Lotus Elise and registered as a Lotus Elise so...
Wtf is a vemon?? Lol
FATBOYHTOWN HOLITDOWN look up hennessy venom gt
@@luisdiaz2507 Hennessey * yes I know what a venom is not a vemon lol. Its has a pos chevy engine in it
A mini venom that hasn't got parts ripped off by Hennessy lmao
This car is fantastic, I have a 78 esprit and wouldnt want anything but the 907 engine in it because with super light cars it gets super scary with that much power. Also the new lotus's are built well the earlier cars were all hand built, so every single one is a bit different and reliability is usually what you chase instead of power
"Oh yeah that turbo is a little bigger than I wanted, but it works" lol yeah right cool guy.
K-swap will never let you down, no matter what
I noticed he gave zero credit to actually built that car? Acting like he did all the work. The real mastermind behind this beast is Kyle Clark.👍🏻
I have credited him a million times over the past year of owning the car, and I’ve also done lot to get the car running. I never once said I built the car originally, and it wasn’t just “seats, axles, and tune” as I was told when I bought the car from him because that wasn’t even close. Had to redo the coolant system, lots of wiring, pull the engine/trans because trans casing was crack and replaced thrust bearings due to some movement with the crank, new accessories such as the boost controller and vtec solenoid because they weren’t working at all, new wheels and tires, new seats and harnesses, axles, bleed the brakes and clutch, then get the car started and tuned, etc. Yeah he may have built the car beforehand which I was thankful for and anybody would have jumped on it for the price I paid for it, but at some point I shouldn’t have to continue to keep crediting him when I’ve done plenty of work to it and will continue to do so. Everyone that knows me personally knows that I bought the car unfinished and finished it up nor do I tell anybody I did all the originally work he did, but those same people know how much had money and time I’ve had to put into the car too.
That kid that didnt do his homework on the research assignment so just starts making shit up
@@christopherspencer6408 looks more like 450 whp
Mannnnnnnn. That shit is so clean. I think the Lotus is so under rated. Put in a motor like this and sky is the limit.
Would be nice to also know how much they spend on their builds. I’m always curious.
Hit up Kyle Clark..he’s the one who built it and then sold it to this dude
@@comfythug6905 that is very interesting information. It would be a better treat to hear about this car from the original builder.
Mr. D that and maybe give my man a shoutout “shelf parts” 😂
leebog31 more than I can afford? Lol!
My dream car combo. Light, beautiful, fast and above all, MANUAL AND with a K24! If i could afford it, i would buy 4 elises and put F20, F22, K20 and K24. All four of them! Best chassis meets the best engines. Ok, i would try to swap a carrera gt V10 too...
PS: my man, your t-shirt reflects every tuner's philosophy: NO. MY CAR IS NOT DONE YET. You are a bro, i wish you all the best and get as much enjoyment as you can with your lotus weapon!
I'm ready for my ride now. Lol 🤙
Pedal box is sick I would love one of these, k swapped with a quaife sequential, it’s like a super baller mr2
You need to invest in some decent microphones bro, can hardly hear what the dude is saying and loads of wind noise and with 1.2 million subs I'd expect better
Need to not do an interview under a freaking overpass.
Expect lol
Oh this is right up my alley, these are the kind of cars I make in automation/beamng
The tachometer doesn’t work 😱
Don't need one when you have 👂
Wyatt Chilton when your motor costs 20k yes.
He has HUD on his Ray Ban lens🤣
LOL at the speedo and tach 🤣 this thing is absolutely insane. Love it
PFI TUNE 🔥 🔥 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Sorry this car is a deep camp tuned. Not pfi
Love Elise's, such a cool frign car. The evora 400S with the camry motors are super awesome too. Best sounding car ever
Kyle should of never sold that car ... But a lot time into building that car to just sell it
Ok I knew I wasn’t crazy I seen this car before with a different person profile on Facebook.
When you get the right offer you sell it just like the black widow supra that dude sold it almost double that he spent on the car
This whole video went hard! Excellent machine to say the least!! 👌
7:20 why did he overtake on the inside?
Martini von cointreau Especially when the guy in front of him had his blinker on. Dumb.
Who cares
No such thing as the inside in USA, not sure where you're from but the states is pretty backwards, overtake lane doesn't exist.
@@doueven Wow, as a European that sounds nuts!
@@purplehazenilsp yeah dude, I'm in Aus. When I drove in the states it was pretty frustrating. Although in Aus it's not illegal to undertake in the technically slower lane. It's illegal to hang in the overtake lane and not overtake
I feel like the lotus elise is so underated is a beautiful lightweight car
A lotus elise is certainly cute. A lotus lf1 with a Magnus 4G63 will certainly be tits!
The K24 is superior to the 4G63 in every way
@@harryazzole7814 A: This is a K20. B: 4G63 are more reliable at 800hp+ no doubt.
@UCkUTHCsl8ujVeaDvrws-iZA K series heads are much more efficient. But if I'm building a high horsepower street car and I want it to last I'd take a 4G any day
@@AJMangino I don't agree at all. In 3 short years Honda's in both the K20 and K24 category have snatched every record that any 4G63 Evo held. AWD Honda's came with 7s right out of the gate, something that took 4G63s the better part of 2 decades. A K20 is also built on the same block as the K24, the only real differences being deck height and bore x stroke. Both Ks will and have hit 700hp+ unopened, many times over. The K24/K20 is the ONLY 4 cylinder engine in the world capable of handling 1000hp on stock sleeves.
@@harryazzole7814 snatched every record that 4g63 ever had? You sound like a moron. Please show us your source.
