I'd love to have one of my head done by Dave
I currently have 52mm TB, enclosed K&N, mildly ported inlet manifold & plenum, Miltek backbox and a 25bhp WON nitrous kit. Goes nicely enough under normal power and then when you add the NOS to it :bye: :lolm:
Nitrous? really? lol... Sounds like fun! i would blow up an engine or 2 if i had that, i cant be trusted with extra boost...
When i pop a V8 into my lotus im going to be limiting it to 5500rpm, so i dont blow it up at the first possible moment!!!
52mm TB is a good idea though
Lots more to it!!! It would be worth changing the airbox for a TF 160 airbox because it breathes better,or a totally enclosed induction kit like the Taipan. Also worth a try is the inlet manifold/plenium off a Mk2 Elise it has a slightly increased volume and gives a nice little boost to things.Having enjoyed 1500 miles of fun driving in the F we took the ZR out the evening after we got back.
I'm happy thet the F is running fine but what a difference there is between her 143 bhp and the ZR's 160.
Apart from a better filter and exhaust how can I improve the power, larger 52 or 56mm throttle body or is there more to it?

also does anyone put K20A Honda engines into MGF's?
the honda is a common engine conversion on the elise, particularly with a chargecooled supercharger up to 400bhp in a little plastic car makes a pretty potent weapon!
