Before removing the engine we decided to dyno the Stock Insight just to see what the put down. To my surprise is put down 70whp and 88tq with the electric assist.With the battery pack turned off it lost around 22 whp all the way through the low and mid range and about 11whp at the top.
Stay tuned, the Engine battery packs, computers and wiring have been removed. Beefing up and custom mounts are next.

Motor is in lined up with the mock up mounts. All the measurements are taken to insure proper alignment before the Aluminum mounts are made.
This is just one of the aluminum subframes that bolt onto the K-Sights chassis, This help tranfer the stress of the added weight and power.

There's a huge amount of wiring that has to be done, This is a not a "Make it run and it's done " Project,everything has to work. The Climate control, ABS, Electric power steering, Cruise control, ABS S2000 cluster and just some of what needs to be wired.
You can see the S2000 Cluster is laying in postion, the custom bracket and moulding of the stock insight hood still needs to be addressed.

There's been alot of progress on the K-Sight.
The Shifter box it mounted and the factory cover fits back in the right spot. Apart from the 6 speed shift knob you would never know anything has changed.
Like the first K-Sight , everything must work and look right, A little extra fab work is need to maintain the cup holders in the console.

Mounting the S2000 gauge cluster takes some time to get right, Once it's in the correct postion aluminum brackets are made .

The Factory headlights look a little rough, were going to re finish them as part of the package. We can refinish plastic headlights for any make or model.
Here's after some LHT TLC
Part of the LHT K-Sight package is the black housing head lights that make a big differance to the looks for the overall finished project.
You will see the black housing later in this thread.

Now the modifications have been done to the engine bay it's time for paint. There's a lot of structure that has been added to accomadate the added weight and torque of the new power plant.

Final Assembly begins!
The LHT Performance K-sight is coming together for a final time. Here are some pics of the recent progress.
The LHT header built and Ceramic coated waiting to go on.
Notice the stepped primarys and a Burns merge collector for optimal flow.
Here is the front structual stabalizer with built in engin mount. Powder coated and looking good!
Another angle so you can get an idea of how the piece acutally functions.
Here is a frontal shot of the stabalizer bar all mounted up.
This view shows the piece and how important it is, notice how it will reinforce the car for structual integrity and has the front engine mount built into it.
This view shows yet another structual bar we incorporated into the build. Also notice the nice header clearance, everything fits like a glove.
Underside view of the reinforcement bar and the header!
Suspension is bolted in. Engine bay is painted and everything is going back together for a final time. STAY TUNED, UPDATES DAILY!!!!
