    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    I personally gave up on the grommet idea. It does seem obstructed so you have to use something more rigid to attached to it to help push it through. I managed to get the wire through the grommet but it comes out at the very bottom left corner of the engine bay and I didn't have any good way to...

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    My personal recommendation is just do it. It should only take a couple hours or so unless you are really trying to get fancy with the routing. You won't regret it and once it's done you'll be able to enjoy the smooth power as much as you want and not have to worry about it!

    How Do I Make It Faster - Warranty Intact

    I would recommend checking all your connections to make sure nothing is disconnected or loose and if everything looks right, you might consider reaching out to @Terry at Burger for help. I have had zero issues running exclusively in Map2 for several months now.

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    I agree with you that the wording could be improved to help set expectations properly. I interpret all the above to mean: Stated power gains are achievable without the OBD2 connector (even on Map2) but your results may vary. I assume that the JB4 probably errs on the side of caution for Map2...

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    I can only speak to my experience here which is that Map2 is a massive, very noticeable gain vs. Map1. If you aren't experiencing that, I'd suggest there may be a fuel problem or that the OBD2 connection DOES in fact matter. I never ran it w/o decent 93 fuel and the OBD2 connected. It was a...

    12mm spacers, seems a bit much on front

    I had pretty bad vibration at highway speeds after first install of the GRP 12mm spacers but it was admittedly done in haste after messing with lowering cups all day. I re-installed them being more thorough with the cleaning process and it was MUCH better. However, now a couple months later...

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    I did a couple data logs from some pretty hard pulls and sent them to Burger on the first day I had it installed. They responded quickly and said everything looked great. After that, I haven't looked back. Map 1 was a very subtle increase in power but delivery felt smoother. Map 2 is a...

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    I haven't switched mine from Map 2 in months. It runs/feels smoother with the JB4 and I don't notice any change in fuel economy, either. I say, send it. Feels like how the car should be from the factory. Plenty of power.

    How Do I Make It Faster - Warranty Intact

    Warranty question notwithstanding, what you are looking for is the JB4 Map2 experience.

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    Yeah I'm interested as well. I was firmly in the "needs more power camp" but have never felt that again since JB4 + Eventuri. I would still love more redline but the power is plenty for street driving.

    Emira finally on a CarWOW Drag Race

    This is very true. Even my 5.7L V8 Hemi RAM 1500 feels pretty rowdy from 0-60 but at higher speeds where HP/weight ratio really matters, diff story.

    Emira finally on a CarWOW Drag Race

    TBH I'd recommend just deleting the 3rd cat and installing Milltek's VC and see how you like it (very cheap and easy). I personally don't see that much value in aftermarket exhausts on this platform. The 3rd cat delete + VC sounds absolutely incredible. Non-stop compliments on the noise. If...

    Emira finally on a CarWOW Drag Race

    Having owned a factory-tuned BMW 340i (B58 + ZF8 w/ ZHP package) and a manual V6 Emira at the same time for more than a full year, I can attest to this from my own experience. I never dragged them against each other but I wouldn't have put my money on my Emira despite it being a FAR more...

    Black Forest Industries Shift Knob

    This looks really nice. I suppose they can't fabricate a Lotus logo coin due to trademark issues, but that would look amazing.

    Just passed the break-in mileage - impressions

    Great write-up. I don't think any amount of added speed would ever change my mind from going from the sound and playfulness of the V6 MT (especially with JB4 tune + other mods), but I DO want to go test drive an I4 for funsies and I'm really glad you're happy with the 4 banger! I think I need...
