Very nice summary Eagle - so high level; if I'm reading correctly you picked up 30 wheel HP. With Cat delete, Intake mod , exhaust rework, and JB4?

great post, thanks

Finally reached 1000 miles. Took a quick run today in Track mode. Infotainment HP indicated 410HP torque maxed out 480 nm or 354 lb-ft. Will take some more runs next weekend, might show high values in different gears. Anyone else pass 1,000 miles and want to post there readings. FYI...

Thanks VFTuner- QQ [/vf-tuner-lotus-emira-i4-tuning-package] package states [software + cable] (is this just a standard graphic) or in the cloned to ECU not included in this package?

[ Your original ECU will be untouched, unmodified.] Good write up - Perfect. Under the warranty period, I will swap back to original ECU when visiting the dealer For my own basic understanding, the original ECU is needed in-order to capture the coding to all the submoduels, like TCU and...

another unlock site - https://www.km-tuning.com/UNLOCK-M139-MG1CP002-A45-CLA45-GLA45/SW10116 not sure if our version of the m139 ECU is covered or there site hasn't been updated since 2023.. That VFtuner may want to leverage.

Yes, interested [ You send us your ECU, we read the necessary information from it, clone it onto a tuneable ECU, return both to you.]

Completely understand. Your in a tough position. JB4 guys were basically 1st to market at a reasonable price for most and partnered with Greg; probably saw a lot of sales. Lots of people probably jumped even knowing that an ECU option would be an option one day.

Going to be an arm race soon with all the tuners. I'm in for a ECU tune. In stead of everyone responding perhaps we use a [thumbs up] on some emote to count interest. Or VFTuner start a new thread to gauge interest. People like thread titles like 'Group buy'

VF tuner - were you able to connect with Boomgear via 675430VME

Yes, I looked as well. Think you'll have to work though 675430VME appears to be friends with the Boomgear team; perhaps you can workout a royalty deal.

I'm sure you'll find a lot of interest in this approach. For myself I would prefer two ECMs and swap when I bring into Lotus for service. QQ should I buy an older M139 ECM >2022 , or should I wait until someone documents the exact part numbers that are compatible with the 2024 M139 Lotus...

Don't Lotus import's V6 to China, probably don't have any cars to test on.

Well that couldn't be simpler, a bit surprised its not in a conditioned space. However, the the intake air might help keep the assembly is a good range. Thanks Milk242

anyone know where the ECU is located and approx time to R&R?

Wow, in my mind I was expecting $3-4k. Really makes this viable option for most people.

[’s only available as a bench flash which means sending your ecu to China so without a drivable car for a bit. Now in the US and their hostility towards imports, who knows if US customs would hold it up even longer when receiving it back lol] We could just purchase an 'second ECU' and send...

Wonder if Lotus will actually sell new ECUs to customers, then we could do a straight swap.

Hey Kaz, just and FYI some US and China Turbo cars do show higher power figures on the infotainment screen.

[ The stock US version of the i4 should be doing mid 3 second 0-60 with launch control.] Yes I agree -something isn't right. Aside, Think this is real? ECU's MUST BE SENT TO AMT TUNING TO BE FLASHED...

Yeah- Lotus really shot them self in the foot by asking the Auto Mags to eval the early demo car before they worked out all the shifting issues. And foolishly Lotus never pushed for a fully review when the new 400+ US car was released. C&D only did a one pager in [Drivelines]. Inserting...

Just went out to spectate. Still on a quest to get to 1000 miles the Emira .... We pulled in then left, way to many cars kicking up huge clouds of dirt and bit to rough for the Lotus. I should have brought an SUV.

Thanks Saknibs. For you local DC guys, there is a british car show at The Plains today and tomorrow. Going to head out in a bit check out some of the classics. https://www.vascottishgames.org/experiences-2/carshow/

[ 50% of their service department. Is the writing on the wall?]. yeah sad. Going to delete Anton's cell number. Whats Miguel's number?

Not sure if building in the US will lower the production costs. US wages are necessarily cheap, and still tons of regulations. Think I mentioned before- IMO - Lotus Marketing really screwed up building excitement in the Emira. One demo turbo was delivered to the US auto review companies...

This is an interesting video for you to eval.

Was waiting for someone to use vinyl vs painting. Really like this idea to add character to the lack lust engine bay. My only concern is reflection, have you encountered any issue while looking in the rear view mirror? Think there is a business opportunity for a company like Greg's to...

Blind spot monitoring and Keyless entry are items that are essentially standard on every premium car for a decade +, no clue why /how they missed these two features on our cars...

Pricing is now incorporated into the Lotus configurator. The high $$ (7,800) colors aren't included. Loading up the car without high $$ color; comes in around Total Price (incl. Accessories) $123,700.00 That's without destination fee and tariffs. US delivery price without sales tax may...

I've leased several cars, typically it ends up costing more, but cost wasn't a primary factor, more so piece of mind (didn't care about them). Really depends on the terms. With the cost rising on new Emira's the older ones will probably hold there value better. What are the terms? does the...

[I live in Maryland. I transferred my order from Philly to Rockville when i heard a dealership was opening in Maryland.] MajHall04 I ordered from Philly as well, then tried to transfer DC. No dice, Philly rejected my request, must have been just after your request. I will say Lotus Philly was...

[can't wait to see how much everything is going to be for 2026.] With every option and prem paint + tariff==> thinking $130k That will certainly make up waiting 2 years and getting 2024 MY... and 10 months later be able to get a 2026.....purely a mental thing - lol

https://www.lotuscars.com/en-US/emira As usually lots of inconstancies for US market, 0-62 mph instead of 0-60. UK site has 0-62 for the Turbo at 3.8s. US site is 4.0s. So odd. No pricing yet. Only new option I really would like is the [Blind Spot monitoring] and [Lane assist]. You can...

Great pictures. Keep those coming, not many pictures out there of chassis without the skin. Any idea if the plastic vents in the second picture release air into the bumper skin cavity and release air into the rear black ports? I noticed there are very small vents at the top of the ports.

[Baseline (91 Octane): 387.5 hp / 311.5 lb-ft] With a parasitically loss multiplier of 12.5 % for a rear engine DCT, that suggest stock config is over 430 HP, which would be inline with C&D 0-60 figures of 3.4s JB4 map 2 comes in around 500HP. 60 to 70 HP is a good amount of HP to pickup. Will...

Yes It is manual. Test drove the Auto, while it paired well with the turbos it really wasn't very impressive. Auto tech in the 90's wasn't that great.....

100 octane, lol I bet it's amazing, must be making over 500HP. Do you have a draggy ? would be interesting to see if your able to break in the 2s. maybe 0-60mph in 2.95s ???

I still have my RX7; bought new out of college. Tacked for bit in my 20's. Didn't drive it much afterwards. Only has 5,900 miles now. Still smells like it's off the showroom floor inside. A similar RX7 in the county next to me sold for $148k a year or so ago. Had similar ultra low miles....crazy
