    VF Tuner for the Lotus Emira

    I'll beta test and take a kit. I can Dragy Test and compare your solution to JB4 and also send any data you need. Let me know if I'm on the list. I also have an Evora 400 and would like a kit for that and I'd love if your tuning solution could work on my Lotus 3-Eleven. Not sure what we would...

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    I'm very curious about this too. But they never advertised the gains on it that I saw so I wasnt sure if it was a placeholder and not actually a developed tune. I have 100 Oct race gas available at a pump near me

    I think it manipulates the MAP and MAF sensors on the V6 to make the car run at a more aggressive timing map on the factory tune or if the car is using a torque based tune then its manipulating those sensors so it allows a more aggressive torque setting. I'm shooting from the hip here haven't...

    I think this car needs 5-6K for a real launch really depends on the grip of the tires. 4K is very likely not enough but I was at the limit of the axle to hold it because of whatever defect or weakness there is.

    All runs done on the same stretch of road starting from standstill at the same spot. Stock run was done at 74 degrees outside with a feathered clutch dump at 3K RPM Map 1 was at 77 degrees out at 3.5K RPM feathered clutch dump Map 2 was done at 4K but my axle broke so on this actual recorded...

    Back in business. Axle swap is pretty easy if you are even a bit mechanically inclined.

    I agree with this... my experience is Map 1 feels very similar cruising around to stock but by about 5k there's added urgency. I trapped 3mph more on Map 1 which to me says 40ish whp but I'm recalling how gains affected trap speed from my early 20s Honda Civic Drag Racing days. I'm 35 now. Map...

    Yeah that's Auto Europe's store I've dealt with Don a bit in the past but now I have a local Lotus Dealer need to check with them and see if they have one in stock I'll do that now. Bell and Colvill has been a good resource overseas and in the past could save a lot of money getting parts that...

    In my case I think just swapping the axle makes sense. Warranty work could get held up and if I had an axle on hand I could be back at testing this thing today easy. Let me go to Autozone and see if they have them 🤓

    Looks like Axles are the same as the Evoras is this correct? I cannot find the Emira listed ones in parts list just axles for the 2.0 Emira on Bell and Colvils parts site

    Sometimes you fix one weakness just to discover another follows shortly behind. Better an axle to break than a Trans to grenade

    Do not launch the car ever. I'm confident this would have still happened stock. But yeah map2 was mo powa babeh!

    Thank you guys! Though I thought I was doing an irresponsible thing responsibly by launching easier on a known weak trans yeah it got me. But I should be able to do the work myself and hopefully just have to order an axle. I'll definitely update with what damage was done and the fix. I've never...

    I hadn't saw that good to know. Hopefully an axle is a pretty straightforward job. Having it towed to my shop.

    Haha and I did took a power nap woke up feeling a little better and was excited to see what 93 would trap in the quarter. But at least it sounds like for sure its just an axle.

    Welllllll! I broke an axle or something went to test quarter mile on the 93 octane tune (feels awesome BTW much more punch) but launched at right around 4000 and immediately the car just felt like it was in neutral and now I can fully let out the clutch in gear and you can hear something...

    At first didn't really notice much of a difference on Map 1 but once I did a pull I could feel the top end gains. Trapped 3 mph better so 110mph vs 107. Was my worst launch of the runs so no time improvement but definitely can run faster as every time I'm bogging down bad. I'm on the Cup2 tires...

    I'm expecting to see a trap speed around 114 or so if the 90whp gain is accurate. Time will tell! I'm about to start installing the JB4.

    Yeah not worth the abuse. Not going for records just good consistent data. No doubt the i4 is a faster car the trans really holds the V6 back but I still really enjoy it such a fun car to beat around in.

    Here's a quarter mile baseline ran twice and very consistent. Eventuri Intake, GRP 3rd Cat Delete, Miltek Controller set to full open. Disappointing times but makes sense because this car is slower than my Evora 400. It has the 435 tune on it and traps 112-113. Ran this twice and same results...

    DNA Tuning Stage 1 Obd Tune?

    Good looking out! I wasn't planning on using them but did send an inquiry with no response. I was hoping if someone could OBD flash an Emira already that we would have others to the market soon. The car is already a blast but it's hard not to tinker and especially if there's extra power on the...

    DNA Tuning Stage 1 Obd Tune?

    I'm most intrigued if they can actually flash through OBD. That's how my 400 was done if they can do that with the Emira already just wonder why we do not have more US based options at this time and hope some are coming soon. Obviously a severe lack of info with that tune but it's intriguing 🤔

    DNA Tuning Stage 1 Obd Tune?

    Komotec and Jubu do offer 435/440 tunes on a stock car. I have a komotec 435 tune on my Evora 400 that works flawlessly and survived track days. The problem is getting a tune from them is pricey or they don't actually deal with the US (Komotec is iffy) JUBU costs like $6K but it's a standalone...

    https://dnatuning.us/vehicle-tuning/lotus/emira/lotus-emira-3-5l-v6-405hp-performance-ecu-tuning-dna-lot0006.html Claims a 28hp gain on the tune... Sent an inquiry about this didn't see it mentioned anywhere. Any feedback from anyone? I'll update with a response from the company if I get one.

    Yeah there's a weight limit sticker in the trunk too but I've never had an issue on the 400 just getting in and working over the engine. I did the same for the intake on the Emira and no wierd noises. I would suggest smooth movements but so far so good lol Edit: and that page in the manual...

    I'm 195lbs and stand/crouch In the trunk on my 400 and Emira no problem. Only way to access the Slave cylinder to bleed clutch to my knowledge on the 400/GT.

    CT Carbon Kit on Magma Red Emira

    Mine isn't lowered but the kit does decrease ground clearance at the front a bit. I feel like my Evora 400 lowered and my Emira at stock ride height sit about the same. Lowering the Emira with this kit would mean you have to be super careful I think.

    It's not hard to install yourself if you are inclined to do so. I reused some Lotus hardware and used some of the hardware they provided. Fitment was spot on 👌
