the k series wouldn't be much of a swap, since thats what the car comes with

What they are going to come with in the US market is a modified Celica GT-S engine... what Sun Motorsports does is swap in the K20 from the ITR into those with tuning and a modified header, putting out nearly 250whp
K20>>>>B18C5

Sun International is long since out of business. They used to do a conversion of the 1st gen Elise with a B18C5.
Lotus sells the Elise in other markets with a Rover K-Series engine. Prototype Racing converts Elise-based cars to a Honda K-Series engine but the cars aren't typically street legal.
Lotus just came out with a version of the Elise called the 111R which uses a Toyota 2ZZ-GE engine from the Celica GT-S but it has a Lotus ECU and supposedly puts out 189 hp. It will be on sale in the USA shortly.

h:like booty said, sun is out of business and has been for a while. also prototyperacing is the one that designed the b series into a elise which sun essentially stole (since prototyperacing was not paid for doing it)
the owner of prototype has swapped a k20A into a S1 exige and has been testing it for a long time
