I had 12mm spacers on my factory wheels and couldn’t notice any difference in the handling. I’ve now got custom 9” wide on the front, 11” rears. These have about 6mm more offset than OEM, but with the wider rims, the outside edge is +12mm on the outside face (with OEM tyres).

This is not possible on the Emira Turbo ECU so far. Cloning cannot be done remotely. Unlocking cannot be done remotely.

LFP is not the only cell type used in starter batteries. Sodium Ion offer some advantages and should have a voltage curve closer to an AGM, so it might play nicer. Not quite as light, but still much lighter than lead. Would be cool if it works. For me, the LFP is certainly usable, as this is...

Lithium Car starter batteries are almost always LFP type cells. That is not the only type of cell that could be used for this application. It could be possible to change the alternator control logic so it is better suited to an LFP battery.

The alternator does charge in short bursts (at high current) even when the lithium battery is at a relatively high SOC, but most of the time power to run the car is coming from the battery (at lower current levels), not the alternator. I’m keeping an eye on things to better understand what’s...

The battery is branded TET Lithium. I bought it locally in China. However, the charging from the alternator is not working well. I’m keeping an eye on it to try to understand what’s happening (there is a Bluetooth app so I can see the charge/discharge current and voltages when I’m driving) and...

Is that a new wing design or something that’s already available?

@shinoo are there any geometry changes you will typically do to improve handling when installing the Nitron kit?

My battery has a Bluetooth app, so I will keep an eye on things and monitor what’s happening. I can top it up if necessary, but am quite curious to see if it’s charging during normal driving after hearing about these reported issues with Lithium batteries on the I4. My battery is 60Ah, so it’s...

Was he running it on an Emira I4/V6? I was having some low voltage related issues on my Emira (all kinds of errors, that didn’t seem to reappear after I had kept the AGM battery fully charged with a trickle charger). So I thought I’d give this a try. It’s 60Ah, so plenty of capacity, it was...

Yes the mods begin. Lots of ever expanding plans🤣

The recommendation is to do the charge cooler upgrade before going stage 2 (which I will likely be doing very soon). I guess they are also reluctant to push things too far, without checking everything on the dyno. There is also something to be said for not pushing your luck with the power, if...

So, I got the Stage 1 ECU swapped over and had a quick spin just now. There is some light drizzle here, so it was just a quick one. My (400hp) I4 now feels significantly quicker in the mid range. It just picks up so quickly and effortlessly with part throttle in the mid range. It also...

If you speak to Nitron, I’m sure they can suggest suitable springs, which combined with their Electron active dampers should give you what you are looking for (softer when you want it, but the ability to firm up instantly when you want it too). I’ve got a Sport I4, it’s firm and not fun on bad...

I’m curious if any additional geometry changes were made? How much lower are you running than standard? Glad you’re happy with the Nitron’s, Im very keen on getting myself a set at some stage.
