Hello everyone

[Guest Martin Dower]

I've been reading through tons of your posts and you are all seriously into the marque.

I hope to learn a lot from you guys. I want to really do something about the performance of my 1994 Espirit so I don't get so embarrased at traffic lights against poxy blown Fords I will get on to the main forum soon and start asking what I can do on a limited budget.

Cheers for now, Martin

Welcome to forum Marc, I think this is the best place to ask anything about Esprit's B)

Nice colour of car you have.

First thing to check is whether your charecooler pump impellor is still in one piece ... if it's not, you'll be down on power. The ECU notices the higher inlet charge temperature and reduces boost to protect the engine so you won't be getting the full power from the engine.

Hello Martin - Stuff the boys in their RS Turbo's, new gearboxes aren't cheap y'know. PS remember to rev over 5k at the lights, firstly it will scare the crap out of them, secondly you'll get overboost!!!*

*not recommended unless you want some large repair bills

Cheers Wayne, that explains a lot. The log book has 1994 as first registration it is however a LHD import from the USA so it could well be that old. It didn't cost that much which probably explains why it doesn't perform that well.

Thanks all for the welcome, I'm enjoying reading of your posts about Espirits that go well

Take a look about Esprit models http://www.lotusespritworld.com/models.html

From there you can clearly see difference between -86 and -94 models B)

Martin ,sorry for suspicious tone... thought it might be a wind up. Post your vin.No and I will check what year your Esprit was made. Your relitively poor performance is probably due to all the emmision control equip. the U.S. export cars were built with. Im at present sorting out how to remove it and will post when its done. Judging by those rims the car must have come from California B) Glad to have you on forum, Wayne 83 Turbo p.s. once its sorted you definitely wont have any poxy Fords chewing on your ass!
