    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    I contacted Laguna Seca racetrack, which is by where I live, to see if I could purchase high octane gas from them. Unfortunately, they do not sell to the public, they only sell the gas to those participating in track days. I did however get a recommendation to call another local company and that...

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    Wow! This looks interesting. Any feedback from Berger on torque limits of drivetrain and tranny for V6?

    Feels slower than 400bhp

    When I ordered the JUBU 440 kit, there were two options - 6,800 RPM limit or 7,200 RPM limit. I specified the 7,200 RPM limit but going beyond 7,000 RPM is still not possible. Once in a while, the revs will drop too low when coming to a stop in touring mode with the clutch engaged and the...

    Feels slower than 400bhp

    I’d say stock 718S vs JUBU 440 Emira would feel pretty close, with an edge going to the JUBU 440 Emira on the top end. My tuned 718S had such a large wallop of torque down low that didn’t die off until higher RPMs so it felt like it had more of a shove versus JUBU 440 Emira. Looking at Car and...

    Feels slower than 400bhp

    It is not plug-and-play; I understand each one must still be tuned remotely. I was one of the first to get one in the US, and I've had several tuning sessions with JUBU since taking delivery of the ECU last August. My ECU is about 85%-90% of the way to being a "polished product," IMO.

    Feels slower than 400bhp

    I had a 718S, first stock, then tuned. It’s 100% the torque curve. The Emira is gutless down low compared to the 718S. The turbo shove of the Porsche is apparent as low as 2,000 or so RPM, while the Emira needs to get above 4,000 RPM or so before it starts moving. I had my Emira stock for...

    Is it weird I like driving it a lot more than modern 911's?

    I owned a tuned 991.2 GTS a few years ago and I’ve been recently thinking how nice it would be to own another one again, but the move would necessitate me selling either my Emira or my 111RS Elise. Porsches do everything well, and at or near the limit, they are incredible driving experiences...

    DIY: V6 Manual 1st, 2nd & Reverse Adjustment - Hard To Get Into Gear

    For what it’s worth, I noticed a dramatic improvement in my shifter after 3,000 miles. I now have 3,500 miles on the car and it is a joy to operate the manual transmission. Before 3,000 miles, it was quite difficult getting into 1st and 2nd and now it feels very natural and slick.

    Thanks for the update. I still haven’t heard from JUBU that their plan is to come to me and tune everyone’s ECU. It would be good to get confirmation on this, so please let me know what JUBU says.

    Mornin' My address is: 13670 Tierra Spur Salinas, CA 93908 If you send it to me, please send me the tracking info via private message. Sounds like we are still waiting on JUBU for confirmation that this is the plan.

    options to improve manual shift speed?

    I have their shiftR111 2.0 upgrade on my Elise and it is a huge improvement. I would not hesitate to get one for my Emira if they could offer a similar upgrade. The company (InoKinetic) worked on my Elise quite extensively and they do great work.

    Cars you've sold or passed on and wished you hadn't?

    Sold my 1994 Miata R Package (no power steering, no ABS, limited slip) with a turbo kit on it..bought it for cheap and sold it for cheap. Great drivers car, a lot of fun. Also had an E30 BMW with motor and tranny from an E36 M3…again bought cheap and sold cheap. Timing was not good to keep...

    997 into Emira….?

    While I've never owned a 997.2 911, I do lust after them and would love to own a manual version someday..I've been looking but the prices are a bit high...too close to a 991.2 manual in my opinion. I owned a 991.2 GTS with PDK, which was a lovely car, and certainly rapid, especially with an ECU...

    GregsRaceParts.com is a Supporting Vendor!

    I’m thinking about trying to find some to custom cut for now. I just got my Emira and it is impossible to keep filth off the carpet mats.

    Where are you Gator Motorsport???

    The second paragraph of my update was pure speculation. I know Gator recently expanded its facility as well as its used car department..two capital/credit-intensive moves. If you look at their site, they have quite a few used cars that have been sitting/not selling, not unlike many other car...

    Where are you Gator Motorsport???

    Update - I just spoke with Tony on the phone. Gator pushed back taking possession of the Emiras. Per the explanation I received from Tony - this was due to a variety of factors. He did not go into much detail other than mentioning that Gator has a lot going on/has been very busy. He...

    Where are you Gator Motorsport???

    I called and emailed several times over the past week or two since submitting my preferences for PPF/Ceramic upon Gator receiving my car but have not heard back. I received a callback today from Gator that barely rang once and then went to voicemail, but no voicemail was left. I called back...

    What's everyone's placeholder given this long wait??

    I have been enjoying my placeholder (2017 718 Boxster S). Very capable car and has not given me any problems since I purchased it last November, around 4,000 miles ago. My local Porsche dealer is only 10 minutes away, but the closest Lotus dealer is almost 2 hours away. My limited seat time...

    What's everyone's placeholder given this long wait??

    I sold a 2018 911 GTS to make room for my Emira..now closing in on the third delay for first deliveries in the USA so I caved last November and picked up a 718 Boxster S 6-speed to hold me over. Very impressed with the car, paid around $60K for a used one. Doesn’t stir me the same way the...
