Well we didnt make that much more power, but torque improved substantially.
Only mods so far are Johans Race/High torque ECU combo and K+N air filters.
Old Dyno was 344.6 rwhp and 296.4 ft pds of torque.
New dyno is 350.2 rwhp and 335.2 Ft pds of torque.
Like I said before though, I wouldn't put tons of faith into that renault box. Some people have pushed alot through it and held fine. Others had them grenade at 350hp.
People have blown the renault box stock. The tranny is most definately the weak link in the car. Very nice numbers though, can't wait for more results.
The Esprit draws more attention than any car ive owned other than the lambo. Much more so than any Ferrari ive owned, including my Testarossa, and 355 Spider.
Man that's a nice car. It's old but looks better than almost every other new sportscar.
What kind of ECU is it? I don't know anything about the esprit aftermarket, is there a good nr of products available? I can't imagine many of them being modded, so I'm curious who developed that new ECU.

There are actually quite a few mods available for the cars. Exhausts, different Ecu's, turbos, intercoolers, Blow off valves, air boxes, intakes. People running nitrous etc. The Ecu is modded by a guy named Johan, who stricktly mods Lotus Esprits. I love the fact, that there have been approx 1000 Esprits made from when they introduced this bodystyle, back in the late 80's. My car is one of 33 Final Editions. You will never see yourself coming and going.

Yours is one of the last 33, and you are modding it???? :dunno:
i would have thought that it would be worth a lot more stock if you ever wanted to sell it, since they are going out of production, and since they are classics as well too.
It's an esprit... which means the market of people looking to buy one is .0000001 times that of any other exotic. So, who cares... mod it up allan. You got a smokin' deal on it anyway, dump in some cash and have fun.
Lotus > Ferrari
