Emira I4 ECU Flash Tuning is Now Possible (~510HP Turbo)

BFlash allows tuning of the ECU and the TCU. Currently via Bench only. It would require sending them your ECU.

Yeah, im a little hesitant shipping my ECU across the Atlantic getting lost and/or risking tariffs on the return.

Working on another solution here stateside… ;)

What is your solution?
I have the same concern - even shipping stateside. If the package gets lost or damaged, you'll be stuck.
Buying a used ECU and sending to be unlocked, whoever tunes your ECU will still your original ECU's info for immobilizer cypher, right>?
 
Tariffs are heavy right now if you ship overseas.
We just got charged a $500 import fee through DHL.


We are also working on a solution that doesn’t require shipping ECU out of America
 
interesting price variance - think they are the same ECU.

Nice to see the Emria on their website-
590 Euro

390 Euro

Come to think of it, the BFlash approach has a disadvantage dilemma, I think. If you use your original ECU to be unlocked (they have to open up your ECU), your warranty is gone. If you brought a brand new ECU and coded by the dealer, Lotus will have a record of that and should you have any warranty claim with the engine, they can also use that against you.

The difference is the Emira ECU must be opened, the Mercedes M139 ECU does not need to be opened.

Interesting, thanks for enlightening me. Assumed the ECUs would be almost identical.

With tuners going down the cloning path leveraging an older MB ECU do you foresee any issues with leveraging the older ECU on Emria ? vs picking up new ECU - unlocking then cloning, thanks

There is no cloning from the BFlash approach. New or original ECU is unlocked by them and tune by their software solely and directly.

Hi- Are you saying that if BFlash unlocks the ECU it can only tuned by BFlash software? if so that's a bummer...
 
I see VIN in the image of the ECUs above. If no one cares... carry on!
 
I believe your 93 is equal to China's RON 98, just a different measurement. To be honest I dun think JB4 will give you an extra 65 hp, more like 40-50 hp the most with regular fuel. I have a JB4 myself and did a back to back dyno comparing the output with JB4 and my flash tune, the outcome and the log has no comparison. Plane ticket from Taiwan to China is cheap. Stay a week and go back to be the first 365hp Emira with a flash tune.
Lovely, a dyno chart comparison would be very helpful. Do you have the chart comparison between JB4 and ECU HACK?
 
Load map for range below 3000 rpm has been updated and now much smoother ride than the setting from factory.
 
This Emira with the stage 2 must be pretty quick. Looking forward to seeing some real performance figures.
Me too, whenever I thought the weekend would have a nice weather then another typhoon or heavy rain.
