If you want advice on engine internals lmk.

Yeah still possible.

Saw that, very glad they got it running!

Is it really that hard to mimic oem?

It depends what your state checks. And if you can get in the know and find a shop to clear you either way (I.E. I have no cats and "tip" my inspection shop $60). Also you can get these to keep CEL away + maybe add some extensions, just make sure to not have the sensor itself upside down...

It's clam off and then some. IDK on the Emira exactly, but the Evora is clam, hatch, rear bumper, sail panel off. Disconnect ECU and wirings to/from battery (and remove battery) Remove the mentioned above. Remove riveted heat shield. Clamp all your coolant hoses, disconnect exhaust, remove...

More caster is key. Here’s what I run on the Evora, emira should be very very similar.

Learn how an engine works and read between the lines. Spark plug detonation marks and one literally blew out the ceramic. They ran too hot of plugs, ignored knock while tuning, and this IS an engine detonation. Is it a drastic full blown one? No. But it’s still blowing an engine. Valves need...

There are diminishing returns once you account for other factors, but based on the SC efficiency chart and my math (with a number of assumptions in it). It's important to note calculated HP is an estimate with very high efficiency and eyeballing alignment on a chart, not accounting for other...

7200rpm is safe on stock internals. 7600-7800 is considered safe with just valve springs being upgraded. Beyond that you need connecting rods (and might as well do pistons while you're in there).

And a went down the rabbit hole of "bad" ideas today, what a TVS 2300 would look like. HP figures accounting for SC power draw already. Here's oem TVS1740 with 3" and 2.7" pulleys overlaid together too:

Probably because you didn't know they exist. Reach out to Kevin (owner). They're backlogged for builds right now as far as I know though. They just expanded to a much larger shop so hopefully some more headroom soon. Their post recent major project:

Prime Lotus example in the US: Fas-Tx (with a much smaller team) begs to differ. Just saying.. Stop making excuses for JUBU just because you bought their parts. And again (I have their rods, pistons, and bearings).
