I have the same car with 330 at the wheels. Did it with the 2ZZ engine. Intercool it and there is so much you can do with that K20 that you could get 600 hp easily. BOE in the states who built mine has a 520 hp version that they say hits you like a bat.

Had the pleasure of looking after a friends 300bhp Exige (Supercharged Toyoto 2ZZ) in 2019, can confirm it was a savage car. The grip even on a set of very old and worn A048s it was silly, absolutely rapid. We took it to Cadwell and Donnington and shared the driving, and even though at 6'1" I didn't quite fit, and the tyres were a bit useless, it was an absolute blast to drive.

A friend has an Elise with an Eaton supercharged K20, he has owned it for about 12 years. It is as mad as a box of frogs on the track but docile and economical on the road. A Race Technology dash and a motorbike battery save a bit of weight, an amazing little car. A lot of Lotus purists pontificate about the weight of the S/C K20 and the slightly higher centre of gravity. They should be made to ride in a converted one, the acceleration is like a drug. Might be cheaper to modify a VX220....
