Hi Clint,

It looks like an interesting project. Which engine did your elise come with originally? Have you had much trouble getting the Mitsubishi engine fitted into the engine compartment?

Factory motor was Rover K series. I went to VVC k series. Now to mivec. It wasn't straightforward, plenty of clearance work, as can be seen by the firewall (composite) cut out. I have acrylic to make a replacement firewall. Also have to find a compact alternator and locate it on other side of motor (firewall side). Have done it myself, so not too bad. There are some mode happening, it is not standard mitsu motor. Custom headers due to space constraints, custom inlet because I want to. I am installing a G4 Xtreme silver to run it. Also have AiM MXL dash. Need to find the comms port connector for G4 to make/run a CAN cable to run the dash. Have emailed link and aim directly with regard to this. Awaiting info.

Hi Clint,

You've certainly put a bit of work into the Elise, the mivec should go well. I have emailed you in regards to getting the Aim dash working with your ECU.

Cheers,

Scott
