Timeless attention to detail and thousands of man hours over the past 4 years have created what has proven to be the best conversion available, with well in excess of 200 installs to date.

Eliseparts.com is now the sole manufacturer and distributor of this well established turn key conversion.

Take a few moments to look through our pictures and specifications below and see for yourself the quality of the parts and the comprehensiveness of our components

 

Honda Engine & Gearbox Low mileage Honda k20A2 i-VTEC type  engine complete with Honda 6 speed, close ratio gearbox.	Click for detail
Baffled Sump It is important to protect the main bearings on your engine from oil surge. Pulling anything more than 1g on acceleration deceleration or cornering will create oil surge and leave the engine vulnerable to oil starvation, and at 8000+ rpm this can be very quickly catastrophic. Our specifically designed baffled sump has four trap doors to alleviate this and has been tested to short bursts of up to 1.8gs under race conditions with slick tyre compounds. Laser-cut & CNC folded, it’s the lightest baffled sump on the market and is included at no extra charge within our conversion.	Click for detail
Exhaust Manifold This ultimate exhaust manifold has evolved through several years of design & development. It’s simply the lightest and most beautifully fabricated exhaust available. Crafted from high grade 304 stainless steel it’s mandrel-bent tubing is then back purged and TIG welded for strength and durability. Slip joints have been strategically placed to alleviate vibration and cracking. Hundreds of hours of rolling road and Dyno sessions have enabled us to achieve genuine torque and BHP figures well in excess of inferior manifolds.

Exhaust Fitting Hardware The standard car uses mild steel nuts and bolts which are prone to rust. Spring washers lose their "spring" when heated and Nyloc nuts will melt. It includes 6x Stainless Steel M10 bolts, 12x Stainless steel M10 washers, 6x M10 Stainless Steel full nuts and 2x new Exhaust Gaskets.	Click for detail
Nuts, Bolts & Washers All the nuts, bolts, washers and fixings we use are of the highest quality BZP (bright zinc plated) cap head variety. All our nuts are BZP Nyloc’s and our hose clamps are top quality stainless steel..	Click for detail
Engine Mounts Designed to be lightweight yet incredibly strong, strategically placed gussets folds and holes achieve the best and lightest mount possible. Laser-cut and CNC folded,. The rubber flexible “shock absorber” has been improved over OE to alleviate vibration yet keep the engine from “rocking”. All the mounts are first Zinc coated to repel corrosion then jet black powder coated to keep them looking good for years to come.	Click for detail Click for detail Click for detail
4th Mount Only our kit has this bespoke 4th engine-chassis mount. We have found it beneficial mainly on supercharged cars, but we now supply it as standard fitment on all conversions. Each mount is minimally designed, nothing superfluous is added just simple design and function. The rubber bushes are all specially made for us right down to the CNC machining process on each rubber giving it more elasticity which in turn alleviates vibration felt through the chassis.

Air Induction System We use an 80mm encased cotton Twister filter connected to the throttle body via a 3-ply silicon hose. The filter itself is placed discreetly within the air-flow from the left-hand air intake. We use a high grade flexible silicon tube to flow the air into the throttle body.	Click for detail
Wiring loom Completely bespoke to us, our engine loom manufacturer has many years’ experience in the race car industry and this shows in the quality of the looms produced for us. There are 6 different designs required as each model of vehicle is different; S1, S2, 340R, Exige, EU & JDM engines etc. The highest quality wire and terminals are used furthermore we are the only company to have invested over £10,000 on OE terminals thus creating a loom which is even better than the original equipment.	Click for detail
Gear Cables Brand new OE spec gear cables are used within our conversion, this enables precise fitment and longevity. Our rod ends are of the highest quality and the cables are maintenance free being internally greased for life.	Click for detail
Temperature switches We provide new temperature sender switches with all our kits and because we can program the ECU, we are the only company that can switch the fans on and off through the ECU.	Click for detail
Silicon Hoses All our hoses are bespoke, they are manufactured from our own tooling specifically designed for the purpose not simply various bends cut down and joined to fit.	Click for detail
Aluminium pipe work Expertly crafted using CNC mandrel forming tools, then clear anodised externally and internally for longevity. Each end is bead formed to ensure the hose fit is leak free and tight fitment. We also black powder coat the hoses which not only helps dissipate heat better it keeps them looking good for many years to come.	Click for detail
Gear Linkage We have constantly improved this area over the past 4 years (and 200 conversions). It is now the pinnacle of gear change mechanism being precise and well engineered. It has built-in adjustability for those that want a longer or shorter throw gear change. The brackets are laser-cut and CNC folded for accuracy. We then zinc coat the unit (to alleviate future rusting), finally they are black powder coated to keep their looks for many years. The tube bosses are CNC machined to a 1 thou tolerance as are the brass top hat spacers. The kit is put together using hi tensile BZP cap head bolts & nyloc nuts.	Click for detail
ECU £25,000 and many hundreds of man hours were invested in the correct tooling and mapping of the Honda original ECU. Because of the complexity of the iVTEC engine and the several variations we offer i.e. JDM, EU, normally aspirated, Supercharged, MK1 & MK2 Elise, 340R, Exige etc., all of these variations require slightly different mapping. We have alleviated the need for you to endure a long and expensive Rolling Road session to map your car by doing all this work early on within the project. Over the years, we have learnt and updated the maps where we have found improvements could be possible. We now have dozens of maps that have achieved more genuine power from the engine install than any other company.	Click for detail
Fuel Regulator & Braided Stainless Steel Fuel Lines We have designed a bespoke fuel system that not only looks good and performs well. The Fuel regulator is a high quality fixed pressure item in an anodised aluminium housing. All our fuel lines are of the highest quality Teflon lined and steel braided type. The lining will take temperatures of 200° and pressures of over 250 PSI which is far more than your fuel pump will ever be required to achieve (runs at less than 60 PSI).

Fuel filter Because fuelling is of the utmost importance, we supply and fit a new fuel filter with every install, it is false economy not to.	Click for detail
Water reservoir An old coolant tank can spoil the look of your investment, so as a matter of course, we replace the old yellowing plastic bottle with a brand new clear item.	Click for detail
Junction box The only way to safely join the battery power to the starter/engine wiring is through this top quality junction box. It is neatly installed on the aluminium bracket already on your car so it looks OE.	Click for detail
Brackets & fittings Only through experience can these be perfected in the way they are. Designed for ultimate strength yet still lightweight. Each item serves its purpose perfectly. All steelwork is laser-cut, folded, zinc coated then powder coated. All aluminium bobbins, spacers, sleeves etc are CNC machined from HE30 alloy then hard anodised for longevity.	Click for detail
Belt It is false economy to use an old alternator belt or supercharger belt so all our kits use a top quality Gates item (Goodyear). Manufactured to last, 3-ply non slip 7 groove belt.	Click for detail
Oil, oil filter, antifreeze, brake & clutch fluid All our approved fitting centres use top quality synthetic oil. Your system is refreshed with OE spec antifreeze and the clutch system is replenished and bled with the highest quality DOT 4 clutch fluid.	Click for detail
Heat shielding Our kit comes complete with brand new top quality Nimbus twin ply heat shielding. As you can imagine, an engine producing 220-300bhp needs to rid itself of a lot of hot gases and although our exhaust system is superb, protection is required around vulnerable areas such as centre bearings, boot floor and sub-frame, low mountings.

Clutch hosing We use a rubber hose for flexibility attached to a copper bundy tube.	Click for detail
Driveshafts Probably the most important part of the conversion. So many “issues” are caused if they are not perfectly correct in several areas. Firstly they need to be the correct length to within 1mm and there are not only differences between the S1 & S2 lengths, it is even important that the ride height is taken into account too. Ours are made only for us and ALL our parts are new – nothing is reconditioned. Because it has taken a lot of time and effort to design and develop these, we will not go into fine detail, we will simply say that the material we use is the strongest steel available then induction hardened, the splines are cold rolled (best possible), Our joints are bespoke and made specifically for us with built in speedo ring gears, they are much more robust and stronger than OE. The bellows are neoprene not the “cheap” rubber type, even the grease we use is the best (and most expensive) available. All this has been achieved through many years of trial and testing on the race track predominantly and also with the experience within the fitment of 200 or so conversions.	Click for detail
Lightweight Flywheel Optional Upgrade OEM flywheels are heavy parts designed for optimum street drivability by soaking up some of the power from the engine and putting it in storage in the form of inertia, unfortunately this comes at the expense of engine response and acceleration. Our light-weight flywheel keep less inertia in storage but the lighter rotating mass providing significantly improved engine response and acceleration characteristics, an excellent modification for road or racing use, exactly what performance enthusiasts need. Made from precision chrome-moly forgings that have an induction hardened integral ring gear, which weighs less than 4kg. Designed for faster revs, quicker engine response, improved drivability and provide quick throttle response exiting corners, a proven product used by Japanese race teams worldwide.	Click for detail
Oil Cooler Optional Upgrade Although the original engine has an oil cooler as standard we have found for prolonged track and race use, an upgraded cooler is advised (also recommended for Supercharged cars). The oil cooler we use is a Mocal water-oil exchanger unit. All the oil hoses are of the highest quality Teflon lined and steel braided type. The lining will take temperatures of 250° which is far more than your oil will ever achieve. The cooling pipe work is bespoke 3 ply silicon and aluminium pipe work (see pipe work section)	Click for detail
Clutch Optional Upgrade EXEDY performance clutch uses only premium friction materials that are resistant to slippage and burst. Increased clamp loads give the necessary capacity to handle highly tuned and modified engines. The drivability is similar to a stock clutch although pedal efforts will be slightly higher due to the higher clamping loads.   All of our clutch discs have high capacity spring centre dampers to reduce the drive train shock and impact. The result is maximum torque capacity and durability, while maintaining good release clearance for fast, clean gear changes.	Click for detail
Flexible Sports Catalytic Converter Optional Upgrade Built by the same craftsmen that build our exhaust systems. No others are back purged and TIG welded 304 stainless steel, we use 304 grade stainless steel laser cut flanges. The best quality FIA certified 100 CPI platinum catalyst is used which is so free flowing it does not reduce power output even if compared to a straight through bypass pipe.	Click for detail
Super charger Optional Upgrade For superb throttle response, linear power delivery and top end performance. Boosting power by around 80+BHP, whilst providing a consistent level of torque across the entire engine rev range. Based on the Eaton M62 Roots type Supercharger, with our custom mounts, injectors, and mappings, you have options for over 300Bhp and over 200Ft/Lbs The supercharger install components include a cast aluminium intake manifold, mounting brackets, gaskets, spacers, pulleys, belt tensioner, and all the fuelling hardware you see below. The supercharger option can be added at the time of conversion or at a later date	Click for detail
High output Fuel pump & Swirl Pot (These are only required on the Supercharged Conversion.) This is only required on the supercharged version as the OE pump is fine running at 3 bar and flows plenty for 225BHP. This Bosch unit is the best we can buy. It acts on the process of the OE pump being a simple “lift” pump. The fuel pump is a top quality Bosch unit that can flow enough for 500 bhp The swirl pot/fuel reservoir is beautifully crafted from lightweight aluminium, TIG welded connections and fixing points have been strategically placed to ideally position the fuel lines once mounted, thus keeping the hoses to the minimum lengths which not only looks neat it saves weight too.	Click for detail Click for detail
Injectors (These are only required on the Supercharged Conversion.) The standard injectors are fine for 225bhp but on engines giving more than 250bhp, larger injectors are required. The type we use have a perfect spray pattern for good emissions and can flow well over 400bhp.	Click for detail
Road testing Every completed install is rigorously road tested. After all, we will be giving a 12 month warranty on everything and the installers/garage reputation is paramount so it is in our interest to ensure all is perfect before you collect your car.
