The Elio Engine

as I recall LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle .... confirmed in this link ... as noted, it didn't give me any trouble but it was, at best, a disappointment

There is a picture of the Elio engine some where on the web with some young people standing around it.
I asked Dusty who the people are in this picture. He said they are part of the Elio Tour Team traveling with the Elio Autocycle. He confirmed that the engine is the one we have been waiting for.

Those kids look like high school age.
most of the "Elio Wranglers" I saw when the tour was in Charlotte appeared to be pretty young

That's because it was built in a H.S. mechanic's shop!

Is there a turbo available for my Elio?
Welcome Brian and welcome to ElioOwners.com from Atlanta, GA!
No turbo for at least the first year, and maybe longer, however we have been told that the engine block was designed to handle the stresses of a turbo-charged engine and that Elio Motors has left room in their assembly line design for turbo, and associated component, installation so there are plans for a turbo eventually.
In stock form we have been told that the Elio Motors engine will be detuned to maximize fuel efficiency and as such it is actually capable of roughly 20% more power simply with a PCM software upgrade. We have been told that EM currently does plan to offer this buyers within the first year however the exact timing has not yet been set.
