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).

Also lets clarify what Alaska gas is here: Alaskan fuel is 90 AKI (93RON) Ethanol free. Additives are only legally allowed starting Sept 16th through May the following year. (Note, it's August right now). The US federal level requirement sets a maximum limit of 0.05% by volume for combined...

First hand with their "sent to location" team: So they melted the plugs and detonated the engine and have to re-build it completely, hence the sending the entire powertrain back to HQ. :ROFLMAO: Alaska fuel is typically 90 AKI (93RON) ethanol free. FWIW.

Hey guys, thought I'd put together a bit of a detailed look at how decreasing your pulley size will effect power and boost. Keep in mind this will also increase your MAT and overall temps. I based this off of Merry Frankster evaluating Rotrex chargers over on MR2OC (so stealing a bit of his...

You won't really see the main benefits from porting without decreasing the pulley size. The SC ability to intake air IS a restriction. Jokerz porting does increase the ability to intake air by ~20-30%. This means you get more, cooler air at lower boost essentially (also means you're getting...

That's also a potential issue. (again pic from evora docs) You've got a bypass valve and re-circ pump that could have issues.

https://www.jubu-performance.com/_data/container/container_31/Manual_en.2562/JUBU_Intercooler_hose_routing_upgrade_EmiraV6_manual.pdf You can go to an auto store and just buy generic hose in the correct sizes and route them this way. Idk why the Emira changed the charge cooler routing from the...

The auto has a different cooling setup that is direct oil cooling not heat exchanger (image from evora documents).

I'd personally pay the ~$600 premium with Greg over Aerie for headers + mid pipe, because if you do have an issue he will fix it. https://www.gregsraceparts.com/collections/emira-performance-items/products/grp-stainless-shorty-race-headers-for-evora-emira?variant=46429633544425

This ^ What you don't like oem camry/rav4 un-even length headers? LOL Catless headers will be the most gain for the exhaust + 3rd cat delete. If you want to keep a cat for emissions or smell, any exhaust shop can weld in one of these near where the original 3rd cat was without being a...

If this is the Ti exhaust, I recommend cancelling the order or atleast being aware of the risks. There's 4 or 5 known instances of the muffler area exploding (in the same location on every one) and the most recent one (2 weeks ago) nearly burnt down an Evora because of it.

I don't know if your post was directed at me... But I am one of the most knowledgeable people on this forum (and probably the whole Lotus community) on the Lotus V6 cars. Marc (Frankenstein Motorworks), Merry Frankster, and Peter Zeeile are likely the most knowledgeable people on the planet...

JUBU's cooling components are just different silicon hoses, a different toyota thermostat, and a lightweight water pump pulley (which only benefits at high rpm). If you're looking for better charge cooling you need a better drop in intercooler.

Were paid to fly people out* Remote one on one session tunes to fix things they did wrong in the first place, still didn't fix it, and left the customer out to dry*

Yeah... you're missing a lot. You've put yourself in a microcosm of extremely limited information. No, JUBU is not directly partnered with Lotus. You don't have to break the law to be shady. "I've been a business man for over a decade.." Congrats, so has likely 90% of everyone on this forum...

~3psi more boost at 2.8" https://www.zpegriptec.com/2-80-7-rib-zpe-griptec-2pc-lotus-4-bolt-l3v-black-pulley-only/ Personally I'd get the 10 bolt version that requires a hub as well as you're significantly increasing the spin rate. Lower size than 2.8" requires going through Jokerz (they have...

@Mat / @VF Tuner I think it would be helpful if you can clearly post the 4 dynos as non-phone photos. Were all 4 runs done the same day? AIT and humidity will play a role in these results given the differences in air density. Would be interesting if you can overlap MAP as well. 1 vs 2 (oem...

Lets go down the list of all their engine mods. Aluminum flaps for oil pan: valid, but you can also do Wilheim Raceworks baffles or go for a Moroso Pan. DrySump: not needed unless you're a dedicated RACE car, i'm glad they offer this as no one else does, but there is almost no use case for...

1) There are TONS running that level, look at the MR2 2GR community. And I'm talking dedicated endurance racecars, not just street cars. Or Hillclimb cars.. 2) The Evora/Emira are run at what they are based on what Toyota and Aisin will warranty their engine and transmissions for, not based on...

$500-1000 used trans $1500 LSD $1000+ for clutch and flywheel $2200 adapter parts and mounts $3600 axles Install hour wise would be the same as labor for a clutch replacement.

So I've done a little more research here for manual owners who want to push power. The VW MQ500 has decent gear ratios, handles 650nm+, will mount up to the 2GR with Engineer Freely's existing VW adapter plate and flywheel adapter and intermediate shaft, can use the same axle setup I have on...

I’m sure CVs are the same, but the half shafts and outer stub hubs will be unique to Emiras. Torque delivery is also different so many other variables to consider. The Emira (at least drivers side) is the same part number as the Evoras so is likely Emiras got a bad metallurgy of heat treatment...

Only seen on V6 so far as I know. (toyota axle)

Has anyone broken an auto (U660E) axle in the Emira? Again I just learned about this being an issue and so far have only heard of a few manuals having it happen.

The Emira shares the axle part number with the Evora (atleast drivers side manual is confirmed) and the Evora hasn’t had these reported issues. I think it’s likely that the axles are bad from the manufacturing process. I.E. not heat treated correctly. If someone can do a hardness test on a...

What I have now is for a dq250 DCT. It would/will require dev work for the intermediate shaft, carrier, and drivers side inner axle stub. I couldn’t give a timeline right now and it would only be possible to be around the $4k price point for a group. Porter has seen my itemized cost for these...

TLDR on 2GR limitations and rpm. You can run 7,300 all day long on oem everything. It is recommended to be running valve springs above 7,300. Running 7,800 regularly will break your rods. MWR's rods are up charged Brian Crower rods BC6364 and BC6365. These are the cheapest reliable option on...

Hi guys, I've become aware of breaking axles as a recurring issue with the Emira through the Lotus discord that Porter and KitKat setup. I wanted to get a pulse check on how many people have actually seen this issue happen, and how many people would be interested in custom built axles that...

What is the gearing ratios used in this? We know it's the DQ500, but from what platform.
