Invictus005

Electric.

No codes are showing. The car has been very consistent in performance for approximately two years of my ownership, so this is not just me getting used to it. And then one day it seems to have lost some power. It doesn’t pull as hard as it used to and it’s noticeable at higher RPM range. This is a 1991 Turbo SE with S4s chip. Everything seems to be in order except it feels underpowered.

Hi forum, would someone be kind enough to take a look at my FreeScan logs and see if anything is out of place. Especially during the several WOT pulls. Thank you so much and greatly appreciate it. ColdStart2.csv Driving2.csv

From what I understand, head gaskets sold by JAE, Kemp, and currently by even Lotus themselves, are all the same and one gasket? I conclude this from pictures, thickness measurements, and serial/model markings. If this is not the case, I would love to learn further info.

1991 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE. According to my service records, this head gasket was installed by the previous owner in 2017, at an approximate mileage of 38K. I’ve experienced a gradual, but noticeable and progressive engine power loss during the past 1K miles. It finally blew at cylinder 4 and filled it with water at 62K miles. Has anyone seen a head gasket look like this, especially after only 6 years of use and 24K miles? It looks absolutely trashed. Fire ring at cylinder 4 is also cracked. Car in my possession has never been tracked or abused. Running S4s chip. Any ideas on who the manufacturer for this gasket is? If anyone has for sale a new original German made Goetze gasket, please contact me privately, I’m interested in buying one.
