Happy Friday everyone! We need 2 more people for the next group buy. Anyone interested please DM me. We have some people going with 500 plus kits so excited to see the updates from the higher kits

Good to know. I see mixed reviews and if that’s what you’re saying I’m not about that type of experience at all. I think we are all here bc we took the red pill lol.

Welcome!! I’ve done the same I am on the JUBU 460 which has headers but I did the 3rd high flow cat and still sounds this way when I’m on it but cursing it’s perfect will be going to 530. DM we have a group buy going for JUBU if your interested.

Yeah that’s been top of my list to drive. I’ve seen many reviews, seems too good to be true sometimes lol. I definitely like the updated interior of the 25 too so it has lots going for it.

Yes test drive it for sure! I had a GT4 MT on order for 1 year then got the news it got discontinued and my order wasn’t going to be fulfilled. I wanted new and was stuck on MT mid engine so the EMIRA was the only other option. I have the V6 MT Emira, TRX & Wrangler 392. But I’m always having a...

There is plenty of people who have these tunes who don’t go on forums so forum junkies will never get updates. I don’t think JUBU will do that, they are busy and have customers. Im not saying that’s right or wrong. I think everyone is an adult (age wise not intelligence) and needs to make...

Yeah it’s very weird such different results. They came out to my car too and had no issues since. We added in some over runs and had some upper rpm timing. I asked Rene for some remote sessions so he fixed it. Idk what to say bc they do have lots of cars out running fine. When we did the 460...

Really sorry to hear this. I know you were part of the first group with me. I hope your next mods go way better!

I know the 200-220 is true from experience… When I had my shop do the JUBU 460 I did the cooling upgrade at the same time. I posted about this on the other thread but one of the hose clamps came off while I was going 75 mph on the highway while it was raining. I was only like 15 minute from the...

I would so Porsche GT3 out of that list. If I had to stay in same budget right now new would be M3 xDrive comp. I know but I have a growing family and it’s very tempting. Or wait for the M2 xDrive coming out probably late 2026.

I feel like I would get ride of the Emira for Exige Cup 430. Emira can never achieve this type of lightness without stripping it completely and even then idk. I ran across a video of one and man do I want one lol.

I just saw this post in VF, my understanding it’s not stock it has the lid on it which added power. So in that case yes but JB4 did not require lid to get full power claims. Again not bashing JB4 I think it’s amazing for what you pay for it. It’s not for me bc I wanted to get rid of the stock...

Where do you see this is stock? I’m confused bc we are talking about JB4. Did VF buy one and do it? Also on this it shows 385 whp and 334 wtq on a stock car….? That would mean that engine is producing roughly 431 hp and 374 tq at the crack with the 12% drivetrain loss. Thats high on stock...

Yes I did. 403 whp and 329 wtq was right after install. The 460 kit has a bigger pulley so my boost when down over stock and the 440 kit. Again JUBU limits power and tq and this is one why they do that. 460 crank hp and 369 tq crack is the figures they say with 12% drive loss it’s right on...

I think criticism is fair but from what I’ve seen it’s not fair for some vendors. And that’s not bc I own JUBU parts. There are clearly members on here who they only come out to jab vendors and repeat things that have already been discussed on other threads. Then the perception is OMG...

Keep us posted I’m excited for your feedback on the parts you instal! I feel the same and have the same idea when I placed my order for the Emira, I knew it was going to be modded. I really want to do the final drive with the 530 but will see when it’s time. But according to JUBU it’s another...

So…I have said it and will say it again. As you read anything on here, be careful of the source as it’s not always factual and over exaggerated. The engine did not blow up and they didn’t need to fully rebuild the entire thing as previously mentioned… It’s funny how I have seen the JBU forum...

I asked JUBU about the Alaska 600 CS. “No blown engine. The fuel in Alaska is so bad. About 90 octane (including some diesel - worst quality of fuel I have ever seen) Normal US 91 is comparable with European 95 octane. We use 91 octane fuel (european) and do the mapping for the engine. We...

Yea it reminds me of the shit show we had with our first group buy. All the cars didn’t run as advertised, it was during their summer break too, so it was perfect storm. They corrected the problem and it’s been great for me and some others as well. When I went to the 460 a year later first...

Yea that’s not cheap to be shipping back and forth. They will make it right. Y’all should start calling this chat JUBU bash…they sneeze wrong you guys will report….I’ll stay tuned for the entertainment.

From my shop. Thermostat removal. -Remove the passenger rear wheel well -Disconnect a bracket that holds two hoses on the frame rail that blocks easy access to the bolts. -remove the hose attaching to the housing and bolts holding it to the motor. -Reverse of removal. (And this took them...

https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/jubu-group-buy-15-discount.4571/page-12#post-183639 If you want real feedback and criticism this has it. It’s long but real. The individuals who had a bad experience were from the start so if you don’t remember their name on here and just keep see different...

And for Mr no skin in the game you’re sure to go in every group chat and share your poor feedback. 2 sides to this KitKat. It’s funny when things have broken with other vendors how quickly people blame. All I am saying we are taking a handful of bad experiences and blowing it up like every...

where do you get your information from? You said you’re one of the most knowledgeable people on the Lotus community. Starting to question statements like this. I have the JUBU cooling kit and my engine opp beating on it on the street stays at 173-175. Everyone else who doesn’t have the cooling...

Nothing to do with skin in the game. It’s information for others to make decision on what they want to do with their cars. Clearly the JB4 makes more power than the JUBU 440 according to the dynos from JB4 even thou I think others have had less power outputs than advertised. Needless to say if...

I guess it depends on who you talk to. People have had engine problems with stock, JUBU and I’m assuming sooner or later JB4 and other power options to follow. It’s no S58 ready to add on power from the factory. Shit you can get a tune from BMW with a warranty with carbahn and be at 700 hp...

Not directed at you just a general observation I’ve seen. I can only share my experience with the quality and parts I have gotten. Everyone is entitled to their opinion or where they choose to spend their money on.

Highly doubt this is JUBU ECU alone to blame. We know these are not strong platforms or depending on what day of the week you ask that question on this forum. But good thing it was a new ECU not a piggy back bc they replaced it under warranty is my guess. I guess will see what happens with...

Yea I’m the one that started the group buy for JUBU and there were a few people that had bad experiences but I think it amazing that a few bad experience and you have people saying the JUBU people need a support group lol. This shit is funny to see how people come out the woods to hate on a...

Just sent you a DM.

I’ll ask my shop and circle back

Yea it’s these small simple things that when you get them you can’t live without it. It’s a wonderful experience. Really it’s how the car should have come with but I think we have all said that on numerous of items were have upgraded on the Emira 🤣

I’m sure I can get a group buy of cooling kit going if we have enough people. I think everyone should do it really, low cost. Install wise is where the cost got me on this. I’ll try and start a thread for this to see who is interested. I know lots of guys on the JB4. would like more cooling

Yes I did both. The manual says to drop the motor for the new thermostat. For the hose make sure the they triple check the clamps! 1 of mine came off 15 min from the shop and I had to get towed back. Like I said was an experience with that shop. They took care of the tow bill and all and...

That’s a loaded question and sour one. Shop quoted me 2 hours, but took them almost 11 hours. I paid for 7 hours which still irritated me. They said manual said to drop the motor but JUBU said you don’t. You don’t need to drop the motor. They got it without like JUBU said but they said it was...

I can’t speak for others but a blanket observation is we are dealing the the general public with these cars, they are not that expensive so your going to run into people who to be frank don’t know what they are doing or how to drive. Yea all my revmatching works, but remember you have to be on...

Again JUBU looks at this from a track purpose. Not the typical floor it on the road here and there. They are talking about taking your non build motor with that much power on a track and run it like your racing. Shit will break then. Like I said for most JB4 and others will do just fine for...

You nailed it right on the head. I’ve been working with JUBU since I opened the forum and did our group buy last year. Yes the first batch had software issues but we were the first. They flew out to each of us and fixed it. I have a long write up you can read all about it on the JUBU Group Buy...

I have this set up and I absolutely love it. Yes I wish they didn’t do the larger pulley but then it would make even more power. More than JUBU feels comfortable offers to their customers without build internal. But the car is fast and pulls all the way till 7200!
