Hangar 111 Supercharger Kit for the Rover K-Series to 260bhp and beyond!

Specially developed for the Rover K-Series engined Elise and Exige our Rotrex-based Supercharger kits are available in several forms to cater for both standard cars and those who have already carried out tuning work to their engines.

With years of installing and developing supercharger kits for the Toyota engined Elise, Exige and 2-Eleven behind us, we decided in late 2010 to develop a new supercharger system for the Rover K-Series. The project aim was to create a highly-refined and durable version of the Rover K-Series that would build on the benefits of its lighter weight and small footprint compared to other options on the market.  The results are astonishing, achieved without upsetting the balance of the car or the excellent  handling dynamics that Lotus intended.

Using a Rotrex C30 centrifugal-type supercharger - specially adapted for Hangar 111 - the system runs between the throttle body and inlet plenum to achieve the best possible part-throttle driveability. 

The Rotrex charger unit utilises a totally independent oil system that runs specifically designed oil that greatly reduces friction, lowers charger temperatures - in turn increasing durability.  Exceptionally low inlet temperatures are possible thanks to our water-cooled chargecooler system which features the same in-house developed technology from our popular Exige S (Toyota engine) chargecooler kits.

Kit Specifications & Pricing
We offer a complete turn-key supercharged solution ("K260 - The Works") that completely overhauls the engine internals and cylinder head before the installation of our specially developed supercharger and chargecooler system.  The result is a durable powertrain that achieves appx 260bhp and 190lb/ft without pushing the car to the high rpm limits that ultimately reduce K-Series engine life.   Like the majority of our performance packages, "K260" can be used on the road or track.
We also offer a standalone kit that includes the supercharger and chargecooler.  This allows you to build up a specification that is within your budget or is tailored to your performance aspirations.  This kit can achieve between 190bhp and 260bhp+ depending on the engine and cylinder head build.  We consider the K260 kit to be as far as you want to go - but it has been designed with spare capacity in the charger and chargecooler system should you wish to go further!
